Book Excerpt:
Peace had always reigned over the small town of Luxing.
There, nestled high upon a hill overlooking the plains and forest below, lived a king and his royal family. The castle in which they lived was both strong and secure. The king held the highest standards for both himself and his family, and he tried to use his power only for the good of the kingdom. After all, he wanted what was best for everyone—especially for his daughter and only child, Princess Amiranda.
Princess Amiranda spent her childhood years preparing for life as a noble, a life for which she was distinctly destined. However, the young princess always had an insatiable urge for learning—learning from the real world around her, the same world from which her father, the king of Luxing, strongly safeguarded her.
From her castle window, Amiranda would gaze at the beautiful countryside below—always watching carefully; always observing everything. Gradually, the princess would realize that she knows very little of the small kingdom over which she would one day reign. Nevertheless, Amiranda would never disobey her father’s wishes, especially the one to never enter the mysterious dark forest, which borders their kingdom.
That is, until one day when she would have no other choice....
About the Author
Amiranda: Princess Amiranda and the Tale of the Deciduous Forest is John’s first formal work, which was originally written as a screenplay and copyrighted in 1998. John has always had the visualization that an animated movie would one day be made from his work. The author wanted to put together a story unlike any other, and one that could be enjoyed by people of all ages … both young and old alike. A story that reinforced good values, covered common ethics, and taught morals as John feels those important criteria are so often left out in today’s modern fairy tales.
After having the screenplay sit on his shelf for nearly fifteen years, John felt that it was finally time to let the world know the life and world of Amiranda—a Cinderella-type princess who has everything in the world that a princess could possibly ask for, but is still missing something more in her life. With your help, John hopes that he can help fulfill Amiranda’s aspirations, hopes, and dreams. Last but not least, John hopes you like Amiranda’s story just as much as he enjoyed writing it … Enjoy!
