    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a novelette. Shorter fiction is a fun and quick read, not a full length novel.

    Establishing your own business is not easy, which is exactly what Truly Winx and Jane Davis are discovering. They must prepare their fashion label for their launch or they’ll never get anywhere.

    With wayward models to contend with, a sketchy and stressed owner to corral, and needing to name their new business, the girls definitely have their hands full.

    But when Truly’s friends give her an ultimatum, she must decide who is really important to her and what she needs to do in order to succeed.

    Find out how fashion designer extraordinaire Truly Winx is faring in part two of the Fashion Series.

    Jamie Campbell

    Jamie was born into a big, crazy family of 6 children. Being the youngest, she always got away with anything and would never shut up. Constantly letting her imagination run wild, her teachers were often frustrated when her 'What I did on the weekend' stories contained bunyips and princesses.Growing up, Jamie did the sensible things and obtained a Bachelor of Business degree from Southern Cross University and worked hard to gain her membership with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.Yet nothing compared to writing. Quiting the rat race to spend quality time with her laptop named Lily, Jamie has written several novels and screenplays. Spanning a number of genres and mediums, Jamie writes whatever inspires her from ghost stories to teenage love stories to tantalising murder mysteries. Nothing is off limits.A self-confessed television addict, dog lover, Taylor Swift fan, and ghost hunter, Jamie loves nothing more than the thrill of sharing her stories.

      A Fashion Story

      CHAPTER 1

      There was nothing like the pressure of a deadline. If I didn’t have ten designs by the end of the week, Jane was going to kick my butt. Of course, she’d kick like a girl so it wouldn’t hurt, but I would probably feel bad about it anyway.

      And I thought homework was stressful.

      We had set our launch date for the fashion line. Jane organized a website template and everything. So far, it only said ‘Under Construction’ but it didn’t matter. We had a website started and it was going to be awesome – just as soon as I convinced a nerd at school to finish building it. That was still on my to-do list.

      So was picking a name.

      Jane and I – oddly enough – couldn’t agree. I wanted it to be called Truly Winx Fashion. Jane said that wasn’t fair. So then I, like the rational person I was, suggested Truly Winx and Jane Fashion. That was also panned.

      We had a screaming match about it then. Jane wanted something more creative and hard to trace back to us. Taking into account the fact we were only sixteen and were getting one of my neighbors to pretend to own the company, I did concede on that point.

      The problem was Jane wasn’t creative at all. She never saw my vision. I thought of all kinds of cool names, like Llama Designs, Pinkie Power Fashion, TJ’s Mega Awesome Clothes. She didn’t like any of them.

      So we were at a stalemate. Anytime either of us mentioned it, we instantly burst into an argument. So we dodged it like a bullet, dropped it like it was hot, and continued to call ourselves nothing. Which was kind of hard for the website nerd to finish something for us.

      And, oh, the pressure. If I didn’t have amazingly brilliant designs, then Jane couldn’t start sewing them together. She insisted that I had to have a design absolutely complete before she started, otherwise it was too hard to change things later. She was worse than our school principal.

      My hand was sore from all the sketching, my brain was even worse. I never imagined living my dream of being a fashion designer would be so much work. It never looked like that on television. One minute the designers are sketching, the next they have a perfect dress on a super skinny model. Apparently it’s not that easy in real life.

      Which sucks.

      What do you think about this one? Jane asked. She leaned back from her sewing machine and held up a blouse I had designed a week ago. It was red with a ruffle down each side of the buttons.

      And it was awesome.

      That’s fantastic. Is it finished? I asked. I wanted to wear it myself, stuff actually selling it.

      No, it needs buttons and I have to tidy up the seams. But you like it?

      Of course I do. I crossed her bedroom to inspect it up close. Jane wasn’t at all creative, but damn, she could sew. That was her strength, luckily I supplied all the creativity. It was why we were partners in the first place.

      I love it, Jane. Seriously, I’m not just saying that. How many does that make?

      She looked around at the rack of clothes hanging in the corner. I think we’ve got about ten all up. I’ll start making different sizes next. She wiped at her brow with the back of her hand. The bedroom of her mansion was starting to look like a factory. The floor was littered with pieces of material and cotton. Good thing she had a cleaner.

      Good. Make sure to sew some big ones, I want everyone to be comfortable in our clothes. They shouldn’t just be for the super skinny. That was important
