She finds she not only owns a grand manor house in the country, but also the \"crowds of people\" who made Lord Killington avoid home for many years. As she meets and recognizes characters from her favorites books, and some she never heard of, she learns a wonderful secret from her lady's maid, Bridget. Is it possible that all stories can have a happy-ever-after ending?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e Veronica Helen Hart is an award-winning author of eleven published novels and multiple short stories, including \"Recovery\" in the 2016 Alvarium Collection, \u003ci\u003eReturn to Earth\u003c\/i\u003e. When she met her husband, Robert, forty some years ago, he asked her what she really wanted to do with her life. She replied, \"Write.\" He said, \"Then why aren't you?\" She enrolled in a correspondence course. \"Writing for Children and Young Adults.\" During the program, she sold her first submitted short story and was motivated to carry on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe is currently a Regional Director for the Florida Writers Association, a member of Sisters-in-Crime, and is the moderator of two writing groups in Daytona Beach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQ. This is obviously based on Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. Why did you choose this book?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA - If you've read the book in its entirety, then you know how it ends. Even if you saw the movie, which is very much an abridged version of the novel, it still ends tragically. I first read the book as a teenager, then again in my twenties and one more time later, perhaps in my forties. I watched the movie only once, finding the portrayals shallow and silly, but no matter what, I always wanted the ending to be different. \u003ci\u003eThe Masters Reimagined\u003c\/i\u003e provided me with the opportunity to set things right for Anna.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQ - What is \u003ci\u003eThe Masters Reimagined\u003c\/i\u003e?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA - In \u003ci\u003eThe Masters Reimagined\u003c\/i\u003e, ten authors unite to bring something new to the classic stories of literature we all know so well. Masters like James Joyce, Rudyard Kipling, Lewis Carroll, Herman Melville, Leo Tolstoy, and Shakespeare inspired the authors of the Alvarium Experiment in their quest to reinterpret, reinvent, and reshape the stories and characters through speculative twists and turns. This is the third project by the Alvarium Experiment, a consortium of accomplished and award-winning authors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQ - Where should a reader start when selecting a short story to read in \u003ci\u003eThe Masters Reimagined\u003c\/i\u003e?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA - Each story is self-contained and can be read in any order. The reader is free to select any of the stories at random to begin their experience. The book description will explain the premise for each particular story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Veronica Helen Hart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1549855468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781549855467\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.19d","brand":"Veronica Helen Hart","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930843693311,"sku":"9781549855467","price":5.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6cb924ca-aa62-4eb1-a064-6c9c83e4b06c.jpg?v=1766344651","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/annie-karenina-veronica-helen-hart-9781549855467","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
