    About this ebook

    THIS TIME THE FAIRYTALE HEROINES WILL SAVE THEMSELVES

    What if you were cursed to dance every night, all night for ten years?

    What if enchanted jewels fell from your lips every time you spoke?

    What if, to save your enchanted brothers, you couldn't speak a word, even to defend yourself? 

    A magic wooden cloak...

    A talking frog...

    A deceiving maze of mirrors...

    A mystical white bear.

    Fairyland can be a tricky place.

    So, whether they're princesses or peasant girls, it's sure to take all the wit and spunk they possess for these fairytale heroines to find their happily ever after!

    Here you will find seven flash-fiction retellings of lesser known fairytales, each celebrating being yourself, and enjoying the path you are one.

      The Invitation

      Aug 21, 2023

      York, October 1644 Before I’ve even mustered the courage to knock, the door to the townhouse flings open. I drop my hand. “It is me, John Falmouth,” I say and wince at how loud my voice carries into the night. My greeting falters when I look up and n
