About

Hello readers and fellow authors. I published my debut fiction novel, Fancy in May 2012, and I am so excited that it has become a best-seller in Amazon's "Urban Life" and "Drama" categories! You can visit my website www.VannaBOnline.com/books to view the motion trailer and synopsis. If you've tried to win it in an auction and did not win, never fear! Fancy is available in Kindle format for only 99 cents, and the paperback is available on my website and on Amazon (free shipping through my site.) It is also available for Nook, Sony, Diesel and Kobo e-readers for your enjoyment :)

Story Behind The Book

Maribel “Fancy” Alvarez is a trendy socialite who has it all: enviable looks, popularity and a closet full of designer threads. She lives an amazing life. At least that's what she's led everyone to believe. Fancy goes to great lengths to keep up a façade of perfection, but when a series of unfortunate events rattles her world, everything begins to fall apart. She's always been taught to use what she's got to get what she wants but deep down inside Fancy knows there is truly more to her than just a beautiful face and perfect body. Will she abandon the superficial lifestyle she's come to know or succumb to the temptation of the almighty dollar? Fancy chronicles the life of a woman torn between the person she is and the person she wants to be. This iconic story will resonate with readers who, like Fancy, have battled issues within, as well as outside influences, while struggling to find themselves amidst a world of chaos.
