What began as a "short story" became a series beginning with Princess Paisley. Not satisfied with that story (a rather silly and ridiculous tale), I embarked on a journey to tell a real fairy tale--one full of adventure and courage. One that cost the hero dearly if he dared to be the hero. I think Continue Reading
The Not-So-Fairy Tales Series
Christmas in Jackalopany…
In the silly world of not-so-fairy tale-like princesses, there are silly names like Rednecky, Froggilandria, Jackalopany, and Kaiandra. And in that world, live three very lovely young ladies. I got this picture in my inbox this week from a lovely family in the South. The mother said, " We Continue Reading
Fan Mail

Sorry, but I get tired of drop-dead gorgeous heroines who are perfect in every way. Ugh. Sorry Continue Reading

Yes, I'm using today's post as an advertisement for my next Not-So-Fairy Tales book. Sue me. No, don't. I don't have anything you want. Sorry. If I win the Lottery (guess I better start playing), I'll let you know and you can sue me then, ok? Where was I? Oh, Everard. He's coming along Continue Reading
