Glass Slippers and Stilettos: A Collection of Short Stories Kindle Edition

Regina is the woman everybody loves to hate and hates to love. Behind the gorgeous, demurred façade lurk selfish ambition, ignorance, avarice and a desperate need to find her happily ever after. Her constant search for a man to rescue her and make all her wildest dreams come true takes her on a sinuous, often obscure, but always entertaining path. Regina may try to deny it, but she is no innocent princess, Prince Charming is often a beast in disguise and modern-day "happily ever after"-s are nothing like their fairy tale version.

The ten short stories are a satire of her journey, presenting the almost stereotypical character in various everyday situations, all of them related to her extraordinary ability to manipulate the men in her life. Other (often equally shallow) characters, such as Nice Guy, Boyfriend, Ex, Impeccable Pedigree, Sweet Girl, Lover or King will keep her company, allowing Regina to use them and occasionally using her, thus supporting her belief that she is a victim of circumstance. Charismatic and wild, Regina likes to enjoy all life's pleasures and wants to have the best of everything, while endeavouring to preserve her "good girl" image. There are many obstacles between Regina and the ideal man, but her high heels relentlessly walk over them and the people in her way, hoping for her dream marriage to become reality.

In spite of her many flaws, Regina remains a likeable "villain" able to trigger a spark of compassion mainly because one can occasionally relate to her amusing predicaments and moral dilemmas. After all, many have struggled with some of these issues – or similar ones – at least once...

I always enjoyed reading and I often felt the need to be on the other side of the page, so to say, to be the one doing the writing. But first and foremost, writing has been a personal, therapeutic activity. I deviated from this pastime for a while, when literature and foreign languages became something I chose to study, rather than just indulge in whenever I had the time.

Several years after graduating from University, I started writing for fun again – tired of the excessively practical application of what I had learnt, I found my way back to the old, impractical, creative outlet.

"Parallel Lives", my debut novel, was the fulfillment of a promise to myself. It was never meant to pay the bills, be a literary masterpiece or represent a career change. I needed to prove myself I could write it and once it was finished, I realized I also wanted to share it with the world. Three more books and a collaboration followed, the most recent of which, "Frames", a collection of four short stories, was published in May 2020.

If you want to find out more about my writing and my everyday life, visit my blog – a laid back corner of the internet compiling thoughts, photos, memories and mundane snippets.

Top review from the United States

1.0 out of 5 stars A rather horrid story about a mentally ill woman.
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2023
A rather horrid story about a mentally ill woman. Regina is exceptionally desperate and egocentric, She seduces every male she comes across attempting to fill a void within. She unwittingly alienates everyone she comes into contact with. The story of a person who needs to work with a mental health professional: possibly in a mental health facility. Watching or reading about a person with mental illness yet inadequate support is not entertaining. Not worth reading.

I received a review copy of this book from a third party. This is my honest review.
