BOOK RELEASE DAY: FAIRLY TWISTED TALES FOR A HORRIBLY EVER AFTER

Today marks the release of my first officially published story. It's a short story, under 5,000 words, and was the result of a competition ProjectREUTSway 2013, that ran throughout November 2013. I tweeted, blogged and shouted about the competition and my writing friends who also took part: Summer Wier, Drew Hayes, T A Brock, Carly Drake, Kathy Palm.

The result is this beautiful anthology, full of wonderful stories, and gorgeous illustrations.

I'd like to raise a glass to every writer who participated, and raise a glass or two (or three--Ashley!) to everyone who participated and made this happen. Working with Reuts has been fun and exciting, and I look forward to seeing what this years entries in the ProjectREUTSway will bring.

The book is available electronically NOW! and will be released as a hardbook in a few weeks time.

COVER REVEAL - FAIRLY TWISTED TALES FOR A HORRIBLY EVER AFTER

Last year I entered a short story competition run by Reuts Publications. One of my stories was selected for publication in this exciting anthology.

'Shifting Seas' will be featured, along with several other brilliant stories including ones by my writing buddies--Summer Wier, Drew Hayes, T A Brock, and Carly Drake.

But first--check out the dark and mysterious cover:

Summary

When it comes to fairy tales, there are plenty of things that go bump in the night. Things so morbid and grotesque, so sinister and diabolical, they haunt your imagination; warnings from generations past that still manage to terrify.

In 2013, authors came together for the annual Project REUTSway writing competition, penning their own interpretive twists on stories we're all familiar with. Seventeen were chosen, bringing twenty-five new versions to life. From The Brother's Grimm, to Hans Christian Andersen and beyond, these tales are not the ones you grew up with. They are, however, Fairly Twisted Tales for a Horribly Ever After. Dare to find out what happens when "once upon a time" ends in the stuff of nightmares?

All proceeds from the sale of the anthology will be donated to the 2013 organization of choice, which was Reading Tree/Discover Books, a “green” charity which promotes literacy in the US by keeping books out of landfills, funding library sustainability, providing books to low-income families, and more.
