About the Book

When Elle’s family disappears, she’s forced to live with a group of strangers in a foster home.

 

One night a blue-haired fairy, Florena, crashes into her bedroom window promising a gift will be delivered to Elle the next day.

The gift turned out to be a box full of fairy-made magical shoes Elle must share with just the right people or they lose their magic. If she chooses correctly, she is promised a mysterious surprise. But where does she begin? What if she fails? Or worse, what if the prize ends up being something she wouldn’t want after all?

More

Carla decided to write a book for her youngest niece’s 12th birthday. The story included every one of her niece’s and nephew’s names so the idea for a foster home and multiple pairs of fairy-made magical shoes grew into a book. Since Carla hadn’t known about self-publishing books through Amazon, she took her DIY Word-crafted cover and book to Office Depot and had copies made. It was more cost efficient to have multiple copies made, and a co-worker convinced her that people would buy the extra copies. She sold them at cost with no profit. Since then, Carla has learned MUCH about publishing, editors, and the importance of only presenting a top quality book to the public. This original book was the most imperfect book she’s allowed people to read of hers, but later on paid an editor and cover designer to publish a more professional version. Since its publication, this book has received more high ratings and reviews than any of Carla’s books.

Elle, the inspiration for this story got married! Will there be another book in this series centered around her wedding? Ideas are brewing in Carla’s head.
