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.
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.
