Find out if Cinderella does find her happily ever after in Lost, the dark and intriguing first book in the Cinderella’s Secret Witch Diaries series! Interview with the author from Digital Book Today: Ron Vitale turns the fairy tale on its head with a dark and twisted look into the private life of Cinderella and her struggle to find happily ever after in a world of magic and politics. Drawing rave reviews for its creepy and original imagining of the Cinderella fairy tale, Lost: Cinderella’s Secret Witch Diaries, and its sequels, Stolen and Found, are available in print and ebook through Amazon. Question: What inspired you to write Lost: Cinderella’s Secret Witch Diaries? Answer: My young daughter. Four years ago, my daughter was nearly three years old, and she was infatuated with Princesses and anything pink. While reading to her one night, a question popped into my head: What happens after the happily ever after? I started to think about that and then realized that I had an idea I could sink my teeth into. After Cinderella marries the Prince, the story ends, but I wanted to go beyond that and show Cinderella’s struggle after she was married. I just used my imagination and let it run wild, and my readers have connected with what I’ve come up with in my series. Question: What’s your book about? Answer: The book is about Cinderella’s coming to terms with her identity. All her life she’s been forced to do what she’s been told, and it’s taken a toll on her. Now she’s at a point in her young life in which she has to decide where she wants to go in life and who to be. If I could boil my book down to one phrase, it’s simply that women do not have to wait to be rescued by men. Women can rescue themselves. There’s no need to wait for a man to save them. Question: Tell us a little about your main character. Answer: Cinderella is young and still innocent. She’s married to the Prince but is still trying to find her voice and identity. Now a member of the royal court of England in the late 1700s, Cinderella has tremendous pressure on her to perform and carry the heir to the throne. She’s timid, unsure of herself, and searching for a friend to help her find her way. All along, Cinderella looks to others to save her, but slowly she realizes that her Fairy Godmother cannot always be at her side. She needs to find other sources of support to help her deal with tremendous challenges before she loses her way. She desperately searches to find the magic that once saved her from her stepmother and hopes that she can once again be saved. But in her innocence, she stumbles upon a secret that turns her life upside down and causes her to question all that she knows.$0.00$14.99 -
The Wideawake Hat
From the Scottish Highlands to the South Island of New Zealand, life was harsh for the early pioneers who ventured into a new land far across the seas where opportunity beckoned for those who could endure the hardships. On Boxing Day, 1848 Sophia steps ashore with her new husband, George, and begins her perilous journey inland to seek a place to call home. Her hope for the child she carries to be born in a house that they build together does indeed come true. And Sophia and George are joined by other young folk who form a small but growing community of fellow pioneers banding together to forge a life in this land of promise. However, not all pioneers are honest and true, as Sophia discovers to her cost. When tragedy strikes, an enigmatic Scottish shepherd steps in to help our family and Sophia’s life takes an unexpected turn. James Mackenzie is not a character of fiction.

But the tales that surround his conviction and imprisonment for sheep rustling are shrouded in mystery. No-one knows what became of him for sure, though stories abound. Along with his clever and faithful collie dog Friday, his exploits have become legends. Perhaps there is more to tell of James Mackenzie and his influence on the remotely beautiful high country, surrounded by snow-capped mountains…$0.00$9.99 -

En busca de la tumba de Trajano: Una evocadora ruta para encontrar el último atardecer de Trajano (Volumen independiente nº 1) (Spanish Edition)
«Muchos creen que Trajano murió en la lejana Partia durante sus campañas en Oriente, pero eso no es exacto. Tampoco falleció en Roma ni en su Hispania natal. Es cierto que murió entre el 9 y el 10 de agosto del año 117 en el este del imperio, pero cuando ya se encontraba de regreso hacia Roma tras haber vencido a decenas de ciudades y reinos más allá del Éufrates. Trajano llevó a Roma a su máxima extensión, pero hubo algo contra lo que no pudo: la enfermedad. El séquito imperial atracó en la pequeña ciudad de Selinus, al sur de Turquía. Allí, Marco Ulpio Trajano falleció. Después de más de tres mil páginas y casi siete años relatando la vida de Trajano, no pude resistirme a la tentación de buscar esa ciudad y visitar el lugar donde Trajano vio su último atardecer.»Santiago Posteguillo$0.00$1.99 -
