Sole Brethren - B. A. Summer

. .

Résumé :
Cordelia Tanner never intended to cause such a ballyhoo when she invented Footloose, an ingenious holographic technology that gives the illusion of a person being shod in fantastical shoe designs when underneath they have on their comfy slippers. Millions find Footloose irresistible and stop buying and wearing footwear, leading to a worldwide split into those who venerate the virtual and those who revere the real - the latter led by the bombastic footwear mogul Richard Nailer. Fortunately for Cordelia she can periodically escape all the shenanigans because of an extra-sensory ability she calls psychomatricks which allows her magically to enter historic realms for adventures galore. Meanwhile, back in the real world, will the dastardly Nailer succeed in his scheming or will Footloose triumph? Step into a glittering universe that you'll never want to leave. Buckle up your Louboutin's and hang on for an unforgettable ride with a cast of characters as preternaturally gifted as they are charming. Mixing magic, footwear and all things fabulous, Summer has whipped up an irresistible treat -Gail Willumsen, three-time Emmy winning writer and film maker
