On December 16, 2017, a collaborative effort by authors Aliya DalRae, R.M. Gauthier, JB Richards, Lyra Shanti, Joanne Van Leerdam, and me—Eva Pasco, took flight: ‘Once Upon a Fabulous Time.’
Escape into the realm of love and magical realism in this co-authored anthology of reimagined fairy tales. Dreams really do come true--if you believe!

COMING SOON:

‘Mr. Wizardo,’ my novella in the original anthology, will make its debut, flying solo over the rainbow:

(Baxter Springs, Kansas) – A twist of fate! Ten years after graduating from Franklin High, four troubled individuals indebted to their guidance counselor, Oscar Wizardo, wend their way back home to attend his funeral. Grappling with their demons, dilemmas, and despair—Doreen Gale, Scott Crowe, Lyle Forrest, and Tim Woodman follow that figurative yellow brick road, walking a fine line between realism and magic. Discover what destiny holds in store for each of them.

Worlds apart from L. Frank Baum’s original, 'Mr. Wizardo' takes flight over the rainbow through turbulent darkness and plot twists spewing fate’s debris.

Stirring up Debris:

At the age of nine, smitten with L. Frank Baum’s 'The Wonderful World of Oz,' I signed out the school library’s only copy several weeks in a row to read it over and over.

Once more, many years later, I fell under its magic spell. A proverbial funnel-shaped cloud stirred up characters that evolved with a life of their own to convey the central themes of Baum’s classic in a Contemporary novella. But, the buck stops there for comparison.


*May every artist follow their own yellow brick road to fly over the rainbow on wings of imagination.
