Impermanent Names

Villains.

The only characters whose loss makes us happy. The only characters whose death, often leads to our famed "Happily Ever After" endings. The only characters whose faces are often depicted as twisted, ugly blotches of vaguely humanoid features. And that, was what we all read as children. What we all saw and imbibed.

It is time to change that.

This is the story of Madonna Tremaine, the wicked stepmother of Cinderella. And while her atrocities to Cinderella cannot be justified, Lady Tremaine's side of the tale deserves to be heard.

For the title story, Impermanent Names, in less than 1000 words, in a petite read of 5 minutes, with a simple tale of innocence, pain and heartbreak, hear me prove that quote on the book cover.

Hear me prove that...
Every villain has been a victim.
