Welcome to the First day of Author
Interviews/Reviews of the
Five Glass Slippers.
But before we get started here is a tantalizing
tidbit about the book as a whole:
ONE BELOVED STORY,
FIVE EXCITING WRITERS
A COLLECTION TO CHERISH
What happens when Cinderella is so
painfully shy that she cannot bear the
idea of attending the royal ball? Or when
the slipper fits . . . but on the wrong girl?
What happens when Cinderella is determined to oust an impostor prince
from her rightful throne? Or when she is a cendrillon miner working from
a space station orbiting a cthonian planet? What happens when Cinderella,
a humble housemaid, is sent with a message for a prisoner trapped in a
frightening fairy circus?
Here is Cinderella as you have never met her before, wearing glass slippers
and off on unforgettable adventures!
Available now in paperback and Kindle formats!
And during this tour The Five Glass Slippers collection will be on sale for only
$.99 in Kindle format for the duration (June 23-28) of the tour!
Today's Cinderella of the Day is Elisabeth Brown author of
What Eyes Can See.
What Eyes Can See.
My interview with Elisabeth
Can See do you have a favorite
scene that just popped out at
you and made you go This
is my story?
A) Hullo, Meagan! Without giving
away too much, I think one of my
favorite scenes is a moment toward
the end of the story when Drusilla,
the eldest stepsister, goes to visit a poor family with sick children. It’s a very small and
relatively unimportant moment—that’s basically all the longer it is—but I like it because it
shows the “ugly stepsister” as someone loving and loved, not as someone hateful and
hated. Regardless of our circumstances, we can have joy...that’s the story I need to tell
and to hear.

Elisabeth Brown has always loved words. The third of seven
children, she enjoyed being homeschooled through her senior
year of high school, and is now studying piano performance at
Appalachian Bible College. When she’s ignoring the fact that
she should probably be practicing more or doing Greek homework,
you’ll find her sewing, baking, reading, singing along to basically
any musical ever created, hiking through the woods, or laughing
at incredibly silly puns.
What Eyes Can See is her first published story, but she also
rambles at www.metaphoricalcello.wordpress.com.
Painfully shy Arella begs her stepmother
to let her stay home from the prince’s ball.
But kindly Duchess Germaine is determined
that her beautiful stepdaughter should be
presented at court along with her own two
daughters. So, dressed in a gorgeous gown
and a pair of heirloom slippers, Arella catches
the eye of the crown prince . . . and finds her
life suddenly far more complicated than she
ever desired.
My thoughts:
Arella is considered the beauty of the family but she is a shy girl who
hates the spotlight that is placed on her because of her outer appearance.
No one seems to understand Arella's reluctance to attend the ball, no one
except her older step-sister Drusilla.
When Arella's beauty catches the Prince's eye, her life and the life of
her family is suddenly changed. But only Drusilla can she the strain the
constant attention from the Prince is putting on Arella.
Can Drusilla help Arella realize her happily ever after and find her own too?
With a Prince calling every day it must be love at first sight! But does anyone
see beneath the surface? This is story in which appearances are important, but
only if you truly see with your eyes.
