Ten Thousand Stitches

Risking her immortal soul to win Mr. Benedict Ashbrooke's heart, housemaid Effie has 100 days--and 10,000 stitches--to make Mr. Ashbrooke fall in love and propose but finds her greatest obstacle the man with whom she made a devil's bargain whose overwhelmingly good intentions stand in her way.

Olivia Atwater writes whimsical historical fantasy with a hint of satire. She lives in Montreal, Quebec with her fantastic, prose-inspiring husband and her two cats. When she told her second-grade history teacher that she wanted to work with history someday, she is fairly certain this isn't what either party had in mind. She has been, at various times, a historical re-enactor, a professional witch at a metaphysical supply store, a web developer, and a vending machine repairperson.
