The Cinderella Curse by Dee S Knight

Genre Contemporary erotic romance

Book heat level (based on movie ratings): X

One evening, in a land far away, a wife spins a fairy tale for the amusement of her husband. It’s not your typical child’s tale, of course, but an adult, erotic version of the classic, Cinderella.

All of the principals are present. Charlotte Gambrell immediately recognizes Prince Charming when she meets her boss, James Clarkson. Unfortunately, the worldly Clarkson barely knows she’s alive. Charlotte’s two hateful supervisors make her professional life miserable by piling on the work and never letting her forget that she has employment only at their pleasure.

Everything changes when Charlotte becomes part of a magazine shoot. The photographer, Cooper Hunt, agrees to perform duties as her fairy godfather. By day, he transforms her life by revealing to the world what he already knows, that Charlotte is an exquisite beauty. By night, he transforms her universe by teaching her about passion so she can attract her dream man, James. The “real” Cinderella never had it so good!

By the time Charlotte arrives at the ball, she has James on her mind and Cooper in her heart. Which man will prove to be her real Prince Charming?

Let’s bare it all and chat about what to wear

First, what is your name and how old are you?

Charlotte Gambrell. You know what? Dee never gave me an age. Can you believe it? But I’m 29, nearly 30 and the happiest, luckiest woman in the world.

What is the time period in which you live?

I live in present day Richmond, Virginia.

What is considered “appropriate” for someone of your gender to wear?

What’s appropriate has changed so much over the years. When I was growing up in Kansas, I wore jeans and tee shirts (or sweatshirts, depending on the weather) every minute I wasn’t in school or church. And some days I even wore jeans to school. When I moved east and started working, I noticed a decided uptick in expected clothing. I started wearing skirts or dresses to the office but I never felt as fashionable as most of the other ladies. Guess I should have paid more attention to Seventeen or Vogue when growing up rather than the English romantic poets or American classics like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

How do you feel about wearing that type of clothing?

When Dee wrote my story, I never felt as though I fit in. My tastes were always to the simple and serviceable. If I found a skirt that fit right and felt okay, I was as likely to buy one in each color—regardless if the style or color suited me. I didn’t know exactly what suited me, to tell the truth. But that was before I met my fairy godfather, Cooper. He’s helped me learn my style.

Considering the role you play in society, what is expected for you to wear?

My role these days is wife and mother, so serviceable clothing is preferable. You might say I’ve come full circle—I spend most days in jeans. I wear skirts or dresses to church and on weekly dates with Cooper. He sees me enough in my weekday clothes. I like to do something special for him when we go out—even to McDonald’s.

Ever required to wear something you don’t like? Tell us about it.

Nope. I’m lucky that way. I also write freelance articles for magazines, but I do that sitting in my home office or on the back patio while the children play. No dressing up for that.

Do you make your own clothing?

I wish! I never got the hang of sewing, though I do knit and crochet a little. I keep the children in scarves and hats though I’m not talented enough to make sweaters and such.

Mending and laundry are chores for anyone. Do you do it or someone else?

I do them and I actually enjoy it. Good thing, too. With three munchkins who never saw a climbing tree or mud puddle they didn’t like, I have plenty of both. To me it’s relaxing.

What determines the type of clothing you buy? (example, money, fashion, job)

Of course I want to please Cooper and make him proud. But because he continually tells me he thinks I’m beautiful in anything I wear, I simply try to look good not because I have to but because I want to.

When you wear something different, who’s the first person who notices?

Cooper always notices a new outfit. If I wear something too different, my daughter Amanda notices right away.

Tell us your favorite thing to wear.

LOL, jeans. Can’t you tell? I also like turtleneck sweaters because I feel cocooned and snuggly. Winters aren’t as cold in Richmond as in Kansas, but there are many days I can get by with a nice warm sweater.

What kind of shoes or boots do you wear?

Sneakers most days. Gotta be quick with three kids running around. I have good snow boots, too. When I dress up, I wear pumps (for casual) or 3-inch heels (for dressy). Cooper of course loves me in heels. What is it with men and heels, the higher the better?

What do you wear to sleep?

Sleep shorts and a tee shirt. Or nothing. (Am I allowed to say that?) I’ll let you guess which Cooper likes best.

Have you ever worn:
a uniform Yes, when I waitressed in high school and college
a costume No. Well, except at Halloween
a disguise When Cooper did my make-over, I felt as though I was in disguise
an outfit for the opposite gender Not really. I just try to look my best for Cooper
Tell us what your author wears when writing about you.

Shorts and a short-sleeved tee. I must say, Dee has no sense of style at all. She needs a Cooper to make her over.

If your author has a pet, is the pet ever dressed in clothing?

(shudder) No pet and if she had, I’d like to think that like me, she’d hate to put clothes on the poor thing.

Same question for you. Pets in clothing, yay or nay?

See above—nay.

A few years ago, Dee S Knight began writing, making getting up in the morning fun. During the day, her characters killed people, fell in love, became drunk with power, or sober with responsibility. And they had sex, lots of sex.
After a while, Dee split her personality into thirds. She writes as Anne Krist for sweeter romances, and Jenna Stewart for ménage and shifter stories. All three of her personas are found on the Nomad Authors website. And all three offer some of the best romance you can find!
