From
vaudeville to opera, piano bar and street corner, hotel suite and beauty
pageant, From Stage Door Shadows is a backstage pass to where dreams of fame,
fortune and fulfillment live and die in a heartbeat.
- Description of From Stage
Door Shadows
(My
piece “My Moment” is the one about beauty pageants gone wrong(er)!)
I’m proud to announce the release of From Stage Door Shadows. Information about the writers’
parameters/inspiration for the stories is below:
Twenty-six authors trade Tiny Dancer's California-blessed lyrics
for the shadowed recesses of stages large and small in From Stage Door Shadows,
a speculative fiction homage to the darkness just beyond the limelight of the
entertainment industry.
The
stories re-introduce the women Benny Taupin wrote about and Elton John sang
about: blue jean baby, LA lady, the band's seamstress, the music man's wife and
the girl dancing in the sand, along with a stellar cast of musicians, singers,
thespians, fans, managers, dancers, DJs, magicians, talent show contestants,
stars and has-beens.
My line from Tiny Dancer
was “Looking on she sings the songs”.
But there’s more. Free stories for a limited time!

Australia, which means it has already started in the US and UK!) we’ll roll out

Thanks, Jai!
DeleteHow wonderful! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shelly!
DeleteCongratulations on having your story published in this book! Sounds interesting! I've never been to a beauty pageant or watched one, but it would be interesting to read about one gone wrong. It makes me think about how many TV shows focus on beauty pageants (or physical appearance in general), so it'd be interesting to read about one too.
ReplyDeleteNeurotic Workaholic, I used to watch Miss America and Miss Universe when I was young. Last year, I caught the show Toddlers and Tiaras, which bothered me. I'll write about it more during my tour.
DeleteThat is so unbelievably cool, Theresa. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteSusan, thank you!
