About this ebook
Evil plots his return to power and Good fights to defeat Evil’s sinister plan. Caught between them in this epic struggle are two young lovers―Martak, master of the forest, and Marianna, a beautiful maiden and governess to Rosy, the impetuous, young princess. Evil’s desperate scheme to outwit Good and rule the Kingdom puts Martak, Marianna and the Princess at risk as they are drawn into the conflict.
Will the soulmates realize their “happily ever after?” Martak must first unravel the curse and destroy Evil. In this land where magical forces vie for dominance, could true love be the most powerful weapon of all?
A beautifully illustrated tale for grown-ups, Ten Fingers Touching explores the complex nature of love and fate. It is an enchanting journey of romance, mystery and adventure. Ellen A. Roth’s debut novella is an imaginative take on a classic genre―and a treat for the romantic soul.

Ten Fingers Touching is the first work of fiction and a true labor of love for Ellen A. Roth. The genesis of Ten Fingers Touching has rested within Ellen for some time. As a young child, she was enthralled with fairy tales and spent countless hours reading and dreaming. She devoted the early years of her professional career to the arts, studying museum curatorship and obtaining an MFA from Syracuse University. After moving to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1974, she became a registered art therapist and worked with emotionally disturbed and developmentally disabled children, while also earning her Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Education. Her experience as a mental health professional showed her how the power of imagination unlocks emotions in individuals of all ages. In 1991, Ellen co-founded Getting to the Point, Inc., a premier relocation consulting firm that specializes in helping corporations attract highly sought executive talent to Pittsburgh by better understanding and addressing the needs of the trailing spouse. She combines her business savvy and communication skills to show individuals and families the quality of life that Pittsburgh offers. Ellen has published numerous professional papers and articles. She is actively engaged in community service and is a member of the National Speakers Association. Ellen was named one of the Best 50 Women in Business in Pennsylvania and honored as a Woman of Distinction by Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania, and is a recipient of the YWCA Tribute to Women Leadership Award in the category of Entrepreneur. Ellen shares her life with her husband, Dr. Loren Roth. She is immensely proud of her children and grateful to family and friends for their encouragement and support.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a unique twist on a faire tale. Ten Fingers Touching is a more grown up version of a fairy tale. More geared towards women. It focuses on Marianna and Martak. A young couple that against odds, shows that true love does exist and happy endings can come true. There is no big scary moments, despite Martak encountering a three headed sea serpent. The chapters are short and not clustered with lots of wording. Sometimes simple is best. Which is what the author did and what I really enjoyed about this book. Also, the illustrations were wonderful. They just came alive and really brought the story to life. I would catch myself at times just staring at the pictures and would have to go back and pick up again where I left off on the page. If you are into fairy tales and love stories then you should pick up a copy of this book today. This book is a treasure.
