Sorcerer & Swan Princess is HERE
The Sorcerer & the Swan Princess, my villain-heroine romance based on Swan Lake, is HERE!
It's set in Folkshore, but in a different time period than the main series. Here you'll visit the countries of Avongart and Opona, and witness a unique take on on the story of Swan Lake and all its characters.
This story has been in the works for a little over two years, and I'm so happy it's finally out! That means I'm also both very nervous and excited to hear your thoughts on it, so please leave reviews on here and on it's Amazon page!
This novella is 9/12 in ❛A Villain's Ever After❜ , a series made by 12 authors united by one theme -- the romance between a fairy tale villain and the hero.

The Faerie Prince is OUT NOW!
The Faerie Prince
(Fairytales of Folkshore #8) is available now on Amazon!!!
Keenan's time to shine has arrived in this retelling of Snow White! Set between Princess of Midnight and Dreamer of Briarfell , this whirlwind tale has him joining Princess Snezhana of Belograd as they race against time to find the one thing that could defeat her stepmother Arsenia, before she becomes the most dangerous sorceress in the Folkshore.
This is the series finale of Fairytales of Folkshore, ending with the first on-page wedding and you'll never guess how they got there.
Now I'll be moving in a mythology-inspired direction, that was too grand to fit into one book. Cora's Hades & Persephone will now be given its due in her own separate trilogy!
Click HERE to get your copy of The Faerie Prince today!
Once you’re done reading, I'd greatly appreciate it if you left a review both here and on Amazon . Your words really do make all the difference in the world to me and the success of the books ❤️

Dreamer of Briarfell OUT NOW!
Dreamer of Briarfell
, seventh book in the Fairytales of Folkshore series is available now on Amazon!!!
Like Princess of Midnight before it, this will also be a stand-alone adaptation as well as a crossover! It is Sleeping Beauty merged with Robin Hood! If you’re wondering how that would work, now’s your chance to find out!
It follows Princess Fairuza of Arbore, who we got to know in the Aladdin trilogy which began with Thief of Cahraman ! She is the sister of Prince Leander from the Rosemead duology, whose curse is a lot less direct than her brother’s and lands her in a bit of hot water and a death-like slumber—in more ways than one.
Next will be the last stand-alone adaptations that wrap up the series, what I like to call the Greek mythology phase, Little Mermaid and Hades & Persephone respectively.
But before that will be a Snow White novella, The Snow Princess, starring Keenan and Princess Snezhana, who we met in Princess of Midnight!

I'm very excited for this release, because this is my first standalone adaptation in the series, as well as my first crossover! It is Cinderella merged with the Snow Queen, the fairytale that inspired Frozen.

Princess of Midnight PRE-ORDER!
Princess of Midnight
, sixth book in the Fairytales of Folkshore series is up for Pre-Order!!!
With this book, we enter the third phase of Folkshore. Now that the world, and all our heroines were set up, in the first five, multi-part retellings, we will now continue with STANDALONES!
The first to come is a Cinderella/Snow Queen mash-up, which stars Ornella 'Ella' Dufreyne, who we got to know in Bonnie's last book Beauty of Rosemead !
I'm very excited for this book, not only because it's my first adaptation without a follow-up -- what comes after will be Fairuza's book, a Sleeping Beauty retelling -- but it's my first fairy tale crossover. I've always wanted to put my spin on Cinderella and the Snow Queen, the story that inspired Frozen, so I figured I'd merge them together.
I can't wait for you to see what I've done with this idea!

If you've already finished Beauty of Rosemead, I'd greatly appreciate it if you left a review both here and on Amazon . Your words really do make all the difference in the world to me and the success of the books ❤️

Beauty of Rosemead is OUT NOW!
Beauty of Rosemead
sequel to Beast of Rosemead, fifth book in the Fairytales of Folkshore series is finally out on HERE!!!
I can't believe I'm wrapping up the second arc in this series. Way back in early 2017, I had first conceived the idea of Folkshore as a town in our world, a gateway to a fantasy land, and drafted what would become Thief of Cahraman, as a portal fantasy. Throughout all the changes, the one constant was the idea for each girl we met in Adelaide's story to star in her own retelling and Bonnie, was there from the start. Like Ada, Bonnie's plot has changed drastically from when I first put pen to paper. But like her adventure in this book, the story took me to places I'd never thought I'd see in this oft-retold tale.
So, I'm proud to say that my Beauty & the Beast retelling, starring Bonnie and her adventures in the Kingdoms of Arbore and Faerie, began with Beast of Rosemead and, through an exciting, unforeseen path, reaches its conclusion with Beauty of Rosemead !
Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I hope you'll accompany me through the next phase of the series. This marks the end of the second arc in Fairytales of Folkshore, and finishes fleshing out the world and laying the groundwork for the upcoming heroines and their retellings.
Next up, we can expect Princess of Midnight, a standalone. Cinderella retelling sometime this winter.

Beast of Rosemead is OUT NOW!
Beast of Rosemead, fourth book in the Fairytales of Folkshore series is officially out on Amazon
Our first departure from the Cahraman Trilogy is the Rosemead duology, with Beauty of Rosemead expected in early autumn. It stars Ada's friend, Bonnie Fairborn and her adventures in the Kingdoms of Arbore and Faerie. In the second half, the story will take an unconventional turn, expanding beyond the typical Beauty & the Beast mythos, and like the Cahraman trilogy before it, will be chock-full of romance, adventure, magic and revelations.
It is the second arc of the Folkshore series, with more retellings to come.
Now, not all of them will be many parts. Since the trilogy already set up the universe and introduced all our future heroines, with this duology expanding upon that, including introducing the settings for the upcoming retellings, Princess of Midnight (Winter 2019/2020?) and Dreamer of Briarfell (Spring 2020?), which will be standalones.
