Check out “The Elevator”

Victoria Shockley, who we interviewed previously, has her new children’s novella, “The Elevator” coming out soon.  You can find out more here: http://victoriashockleywrites.wordpress.com/.  Here’s her blurb:

“Gorb the gnome operates an elevator in an upscale hotel. When three businessmen get stuck in his lift, their only chance of escape is to work together. But with a clashing of personalities, that proves difficult.

Gorb has a plan. Will his tale about the fantastic  kingdom of Eggslandia be enough to inspire the  group to collaborate and find a way out?

The Elevator and its story within a story share a  lesson in the importance of teamwork.”

Sounds like something to check out.  Give it a look!
