Today I have the honor of sharing an exclusive, only here at The Story, extraordinary event!
I have the privilege of sharing with you a story written by Leigh Purtill, The Rise of Ginny Cooper!
Leigh's novel All About Vee
followed the story of Veronica a plus sized actress from Arizona, trying to make her dreams come true in Hollywood. But The original story... was much more... here's what Leigh herself had to say:
As many of you know, the story that became ALL ABOUT VEE originally featured three young women who moved to Hollywood together to pursue their dreams. It was titled FAT GIRLS IN LA. The published product, however, was the story of just one of them, Veronica May. I always intended to tell the other two girls' stories to complete a trilogy.
The second book is titled THE RISE OF GINNY COOPER and is the story of Ginny, the writer who dreams of seeing her work on the silver screen. It picks up shortly after the first book ends but you don't need to read the first to enjoy the second.
Now here is the experiment part: I have decided to ride the wave of the future and publish it digitally!
