Author's Experience as the Owner of North Carolina's Mad Hatter Shop Inspires New Short Story

Sept. 24, 2014 - PRLog -- The old writing adage never stops being repeated to writers from all walks of life. “Write what you know” is the universal writing mantra, and after reading Mad Hatter Tea Society, readers will truly understand that author Bobbie Asad did just that. After being laid off from her job at a consulting engineering firm, Asad decided to combine her fascination of hats and tea into a whimsical shop in North Carolina. As a long-standing member of the international social group, The Red Hat Society, she was fond of hats, but wanted to convert her interest into something more. The result was her new novella, Mad Hatter Tea Society, now available on Amazon for Kindle.

Mad Hatter Tea Society is the story of two friends, Melinda and Delilah, who visit the hat shop one day and are inspired to go for afternoon tea as “proper young ladies.” This trip is their first time at tea, but it certainly won't be their last. As the women decide to repeat the trip the next week, they find themselves not only re-connecting with each other, but also old friends as they invite others along.

“Just like women, no two hats are alike, and I wanted to create characters that readers could fall in love with,” said Asad. “This is the first in my new Mad Hatter Tea Society series, and I'm anxious to share the continuing stories of these charming women.”

Published on September 15^th, Mad Hatter Tea Society has already received two 5-star reviews from readers on Amazon.
