She's lived in Phoenix, Arizona since 1999 and enjoys; traveling, shopping, award shows, her entertainment company/record label with worldwide distribution, her fashion business and writing. Having started a blog specifically designed to assist women who need answers to fashion crisis questions, she also speaks at women's conferences around the world discussing fashion dilemmas, faux pas and what if's. She talks about everything from what to wear to a barbeque to what to wear to the golf course, when you're not golfing. She began writing on fashion and design during her time at home with her toddler in 2006. As a stay-at-home mom and running an entertainment company, Dyanna found herself enthralled in all things fashion; from designers to fashion protocol. By 2008 Dyanna embarked on the story, A Vengeful Reflection loosely based on the design of a retail clothing store her daughter once had. Here again, fashion evolves. Her daughter took her senior year in college to design her own clothing line, called Candy Shoppe Apparel. candyshoppeapparel.com. Wooten then opened the Sweet Shop Sample House. It is the first sample house in Phoenix, and was created to offset the cost for making her daughters samples. sweetshopsamplehouse.com. In late 2010, Wooten became the first fashion contributor for the Ahwatukee Foothills Newspaper (AFN) under the pseudo name, "On Fashion." Not wanting direct recognition, Wooten remained anonymous to provide fashion news about her community and surrounding area. Presently, Dyanna is producing a positive reality show called, Wives of Favor through her company Marble Ice Entertainment. marbleiceent.com. It's a reality show designed to enlighten and inspire women throughout the U.S. With the support of her loving husband Dr. Wooten, hailed the best pediatrician ever!! - rainbowpediatricsaz.com and her toddler who will be starting her own clothing line soon at age 6, Wooten remains busier than ever.

The story of Princess Elise was inspired by the imagination of my oldest daughter who always provides a gentle push in a more creative direction in my life. This story will take you deep in love, to sadness, in joy and back in love. If my loving husband hadn’t completely indulged in our dreams this wouldn’t be a reality. Special thanks to the retail staff of Royale Noire — 2008.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

V00_9781467076661_TEXT.pdf

As an author I am always humbled by the acceptance of my ideas from family. Their unconditional support is what keeps me going. I’m blessed to have a husband that makes it a priority to make sure my everyday life is stress-less. His amazing insight on concepts I wouldn’t have otherwise thought of is priceless.

Thanks to my oldest daughter Shelemiah. Her brilliant mind sparked the inspiration for this story. I watched in awe as she created her fashion line from her heart, to her head, to paper, to a sample, to being worn by future fashionistas. It was a process that made me proud to watch her intrigue for fashion, designers, artistry of textures and trends grow.

Thanks to my youngest daughter, Malaya who unintentionally gave me permission to explore my imagination the way she does. No pretense, no expectation, no desired outcome, just let go.

Thanks Mom for bringing me on stage with you when you were on the runway. Introducing me to appreciate fashion, early on, for the time you bought me my first sewing machine, when I had no intention of sewing anything. Thanks for simply believing in your Angel.

INTRODUCTION

Once upon a time is ordinarily how a Princess would be introduced to the world, but not this time. Once in a land, far, far away has been done, very well. I think we’ll begin, this way.

Once in a mystic land where nothing is as it seems, nothing was as it seemed. A Princess named, Elise Belia Avisette’s family prearranged her marriage to Prince Caxium Andrew Winslow. Prince Caxium was born to King Richard Andrew Winslow, III and Queen Caray Victoria Winslow of Duketom. Prince Caxium was an educated man, finishing top in his class with a degree in Chemical Science. He could make deadly potions with his eyes closed. He was not the Princess’ favorite person, not since that dreadful cold Spring. When the Prince and Princess grew up together, he was kind-hearted from elementary school to college. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth gave him boldness, that was initially very attractive to the Princess. His moxie was through the roof and he had ambition in his back pocket. Those traits became more imminent in his later years but not in a positive way. His boldness became an aggressive short temper, his moxie turned into a feeling of invincibility, and his ambition became a negative arrogance. Prince Caxium was affectionately referred to as Cax, and he called the Princess Lisa. Cax had a twin brother named Maxium or Max for short and a handful of close friends. The brothers were inseparable and did everything together. Max was the calm side of Cax double-sided personality. Because Cax had a mean streak, it always took Max to bail him out of trouble or talk him down from a physical confrontation to a simple conversation. When Max died, Cax was never the same. He was a walking time-bomb, ready to go off any minute. He was dark, withdrawn, lethargic and vengeful. He tried seeking solace in the fact that he was still planning to marry his true love, but even that would not come to pass. Prince Caxium wanted nothing more than for his live with Lisa to be happily ever after, but an old friend from their childhood named, Boss had other plans. Plans that Prince Caxium vowed to eradicate as soon as the opportunity presented itself. Unfortunately, he couldn’t wait for fate to create the opportunity. He was running out of time, Boss was gaining the affection of the Princess. Cax did not use his chemical degree for something nobel.

Princess Elises’ life of fashion would change forever once her eyes met that of a stranger. Prince Caxium became angry when he found out that the Princess was confiding in the only man he felt threatened by. His name was Boss and he had a secret. Prince Caxium,
