Tell Me a Story October Novella with Dina S. Rabadi: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

 


Dear Readers,

I have been adjusting to my new job as a teacher and marketing Mary's Wings and finally ready to get back to my blog, Tell Me a Story.

In celebration of my own novella, Mary's Wings, for the next few months I will be discussing the novella as an art form and introducing you to some of my favorites.

In light of it being Halloween soon, our October novella will be Dr. Jekyll and Mr, Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson.  Feel free to order from your local bookstore, Amazon, Abebooks or reserve with your local library.

My next blog will provide you with an intro to the author.

Keep reading!

All My Best,

Dina
