“Forgotten Fairy Tales of Brave and Brilliant Girls” is an empowering book, great for fairy-tale lovers and for those looking for strong, intelligent women to be the central characters in their books! The eight stories in this collection are based off of classic folk and fairy tales, but the girls in these stories go off on adventures rather than settling for a prince. A great read for ages 7 and up!

April 7 question - Are you a risk-taker when writing? Do you try something radically different in style/POV/etc. or add controversial topics to your work?
I came across this video while listening to an Elton John song on YouTube. It's a university class discussing Lord of the Rings.
Can you imagine writing something so epic that almost half a century after you're dead, your writing is still so talked about that there are actual university classes devoted to it?
Some of us can't even get a dozen readers to leave book reviews.
I want to say yes, that I'm a bit of a risk-taker.
An editor suggested I should dumb-down some of my urban fantasy. Here's one example:
Orotund is the exact word I wanted to use. If you know the character, you know why.
There's a character coming later in the Existence series that will certainly be controversial. I rather expect to be quite hated by some very hateful people.
Rule-breaking... the "rules" say not to do a dream sequence or a flashback... I have a *flashback dream sequence. (*Minor Spoiler alert.)
Do I think there will a university class dedicated to discussing my Existence series fifty years after I'm dead?
Well... only if most of the fictional bits become non-fiction.
Though, if that's the case, there won't be a class to discuss the books. 🤔😲
I'll leave you with two excerpts and a review from a fellow speculative fiction writer so you can decide.
