North Carolina author Traci Claywell has released a satirical allegory, Cinderella Claps Back: The Reckoning, about two opposing forces in today’s American politics: female voters and MAGA. In the story, when the Fairy Bureau of Investigation uncovers a plot to overthrow the Palace on Charlotte’s Dark Web, Queen Ella and her cabinet of ministers must devise a plan to keep Rumpelstiltskin and his horde of angry, brown-coated wolves at bay.
Traci Claywell is a graduate of Wake Forest University and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where she earned her B.A and M.A. in Psychology and Counselor Education, respectively. She worked with children and adolescents as a school counselor before migrating to Beaufort, North Carolina, where she launched and published two community newspapers: The Beaufort Gam and The Venture of Carteret County.
Using both observation and imagination, Claywell presents one possible scenario for the burning quandary of the day: what’s going to happen to our country? In Cinderella Claps Back: The Reckoning, the answer to that serious question is played out by a team of familiar childhood characters using their vision, intelligence, and grit.
Cinderella Claps Back: The Reckoning will be available for purchase at Amazon, KDP, Barnes & Noble, and other retail outlets September 22.
