After working on a writing a novel for young adults for TEN years, I’ve finished a draft and am currently working on polishing it to submit to agents and publishers. I was inspired to create a potential cover for it in scratchboard, shown above, which of course may or may not be used depending on the publisher. I’ll update publication news in future newsletters. If you are interested in updates as they occur, I am starting a separate mailing list for this project alone. Email ruthsanderson88@gmail.com.

The Mirror of Truth is a retelling of the fairy tale Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. The premise is this: What if the evil stepmother’s magic mirror were created by the youngest of the seven dwarves, who has no idea of the terrible consequences of his actions. (And as you can see by my cover illustration, my dwarf character is NOT a Disney dwarf. He is half-human and stands a bit under five feet.). better.)

These are a few of the highlights of what I’ve been up to recently.
Happy Spring!
