Lois Lane Interviews Authors: Kristen Caven on “The Souls of Her Feet”
This interview with Cristina Deptula of Authors, Large and Small appeared today on Medium: What about the Cinderella story resonates with you? Why did you rewrite it?

Cinderella and Human Rights
I have been focused on two things, lately: The re-launch of my book, The Souls of Her Feet as the first edition of the Fairytale Reality Project, and Every Man, Woman and Child, a world party focused on teaching the Universal Declaration of Human Rights through music.

Eight Reasons I Wrote a Male Fairy Godmother –
In my novel, The Souls of Her Feet, the downtrodden protagonist’s life changes, as in every Cinderella story, when a Fairy Godmother appears in her life.

Cinderella as Stoic Philosopher
I’m re-reading The Souls of Her Feet because it’s coming out soon with a new publisher—and I came across this passage: I cried that night, realizing I would probably never get what I really wanted, ever again. I strengthened myself, thinking of all the people in the world who would never get what they wanted. […]
The Uniquest Author Reading Ever
There is no describing my experience reading at The Literary Foolery Cabaret in San Francisco…I must show it!
Witness my glee…
