One of the common questions I'm asked about Cinderella, Necromancer is why I chose to go dark with the story instead of the light-hearted, somewhat upbeat version that's well-known in pop culture.

 

Except that the "light-hearted" version we know and love is, in itself, an adaptation. I love Disney as much as anyone (uhh... possibly more...), but that wasn't what I was going for here.

This excerpt shows Ellison actively working with dark powers in order to make a difference in her life and the life of her family... but you'll have to read on to find out how and why!
