The Not-So-Fairy Tales Series

Glimpse of my newest princess

The First Exclusive Glimpse of the Next Not-So Fairy Tale

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

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

I get emails daily... dozens.  I love it.  I love when someone writes and says, "Thank you for not putting Aggie with William" (sorry, Barb).  I love when someone says, "I don't get it.  Why can't he see what a twit he's being?"  EXACTLY!  That's what I wanted the reader to think.  I love it when Continue Reading

Fairy Tales Can Come True…

Even if you're the world's shyest prince. My first foray into the realm of fairy tales was what you might call, "accidental."  Once it was finished, I immediately had several other ideas.  I even began two sequels (of sorts).  Rupert's story and the story of a princess in "Congolia" that fits Continue Reading

X Marks the Spot…

Cartography--the study and making of maps. When I began the Wynnewood series, one of the first and most important things to me was to have a proper "fantasy map."  After all, what is a fantasy book without a good map, right?  Finding my amazing illustrator, Craig Worrell, was a gift from God via Continue Reading

R-oana

Hidden Hollow is home to several interesting characters.  Sevrin, Alydia, Bernar, and of course, Roana.  I love her.  For one thing, I've made her beautiful.  I don't do that often.  It's too cliche.  Sorry, but I get tired of drop-dead gorgeous heroines who are perfect in every way.  Ugh.  Sorry Continue Reading

E-verard

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

Going nuts over here waiting for yet ANOTHER Lord Going nuts over here waiting for yet ANOTHER Lord Edgington by @benedictbrownauthor novel. Sigh. I dont think this is what Solomon was talking about when he said, "A virtuous woman, who can find?"
Clearly,  he wasn't talking about me, considering the whole patience being a virtue thing.
Sigh
