Her staple diet hasn't changed much, although she's added choc mint Rooibos tea and Chicken Crimpies to the list. She writes young adult fantasy including her Spoken Mage series, and her Four Kingdoms and Beyond the Four Kingdoms series which are made up of linked stand-alone fairy tale retellings.

[Briar Brathwaite · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Such a nice retelling of this classic tale. She did a good job filling giving multiple characters good back stories that made it even more enjoyable
