Open what? Doors? What does that mean?



Once upon a time on a farm in a rural area, a young girl gazed out her window at the stars and wished each night.  “Oh, please Blue Fairy/Fairy Godmother/Tinker Bell/Santa Claus/…., grant my wish!”
The wish was never the same wish, but it was said with the same fervor each and every night.  This messed up the whole fairy tale and wishes coming true thing; no wishes were ever granted.

I know.  It sucks when wishes don’t come true.

But WAIT!  What did you say?  My wish did come true! 

I submitted a fractured fairy tale about Cinderella (short story—2000 words) and it was accepted!  The Open Doors Anthology: Fractured Fairy Tales was released on December 3rd!  My story is in there: Cinder, Ellie: An Exclusive as told to Bob Grimm. 

Elisa Stilton worked with Wayman Publishing for the collection, editing, doing whatever is necessary to publish both an eBook and a paperback! 

From December 2 – 4, 2012, this book and other books by a group of incredibly talented writers will be at a reduced rate (check the site out) or free as eBooks.  A portion of the proceeds will go to benefit a children’s hospital. 

This is a book you would want to read, share with friends and relatives.  It turns those Disney fairy tales on their heads.

Open Doors Anthology: Fractured Fairy Tales

Photobucket






Fairy tales...what's NOT to like?  Every culture on earth has a variety of myths, legends, and their own variety of fairy tales.  Good vs. Bad...Hero rescuing helpless princess...bad animals with sharp teeth trying to eat good (kinda good) people and animals....


Yes, these are common themes throughout the world.

Wayman Publishing with Elisa has undertaken the production of Fractured Fairy Tales, or fairy tales viewed in a different way.  The Book Fair opens Dec. 2 - 4, and offers great deals on this book as well as other books produced by contributing writers.

My own story-- Cinder, Ellie: An Exclusive as told to Bob Grimm -- will be in this marvelous anthology.  It is really good, I think.  You will have to read it for yourself.

Here is the site to which you can go and order an obscene number of books at great prices!  A portion of the proceeds earned by the sale of Open Doors Anthology: Fractured Fairy Tales will benefit a children's hospital, among other places (I think).  The last anthology was to support diabetes.

So go there, and buy, and then enjoy!  Susan Kane
