Tomorrow's Winning Picture

What a great way to start out the year!  A new set of drawings for a new Fairy Tale.

Ever wonder what happened as Cinderella was living "happily ever after"?  It was just as magical and weird as ever - only with a growing family.

Here's a quick peek at one scene a girl illustrated without ever reading the first book in the Extra Wishes trilogy.  You'll see tomorrow that she did a pretty great job!

Book 1 Chapter 5

Gazing at the objects spread before her:  pillows, shoes and capes, she remembered there would be no servants to help her carry anything back to the palace. It was too bad she’d have to carry everything back herself. now that the wagon was gone.  Maybe Edward would help.  She walked back toward the place where Edward would be speaking with the ogre named Rock.
 “Help!” Edward said, working his mouth free from a cover as she entered the small clearing.
“Oh goodness me! Edward!” 
She switched from a walk to a run. When she reached him, she gasped in dismay.
Edward sat ramrod straight, tied to a tree with an enormous shoelace.
“What happened?” she cried.

“I gave the ogre my cape so he could have ‘a clo,’ and he went off to look in a lake to see if it’s big enough for him. He didn’t want me to run away. It seems he’s had problems with humans escaping from him before.”
