Extended description

It is the twenty-third century and humanity has settled where distant suns blaze in the sky; yet for all the wonders of science, life for many is far from a wondrous fairy tale. Can the poor, down-trodden kitchen slave Ganesa find a Prince Charming in the shape of young, dashing space captain Hanuman? As they meet for the first time on the dance floor at the American Embassy's Christmas Ball, she is the first to admit he's not exactly her type in this tongue-in-cheek pastiche of Cinderella. Short story, approx. 8,000 words.

Review by: Chris Bullock on Jan. 19, 2012 :
A future version of a classic fairy tale. Very well written and easy to read, but even though the story is familiar there are many interesting twists and turns that will bring a smile to your face.
The only minor criticism that I could make is that, for me, it ended a little too quickly - I would have liked an expanded ending.
I will certainly look forward to reading more of the authors stories - and possibly using a similar basis - more future fairy stories.
