I love retellings!! You might have noticed from my READ list. Can you tell us more about them?

Isla Jones I've always wanted to try my hand at them, but twist them into darker tales from where they originated--though, not Brother's Grimm dark.

Red Riding H…moreI've always wanted to try my hand at them, but twist them into darker tales from where they originated--though, not Brother's Grimm dark.

Red Riding Hood: the first to be released, and focuses on Red as a social pariah in her village for what they believe to be 'witchcraft', yet at night, villagers flock to her for remedies banned by the Priest. Insert 'the hunter', a proud hunter who Red finds herself at odds with, and the return of the Wolf. That's all I can say at the moment; I haven't fleshed everything out yet, and the summary needs massive work.

Alice in Wonderland: Without Alice. No relations to her, no insane asylums or the usual tropes. This is finished, but still in early draft stages and I'm hesitant to give away to much at this stage.

Beauty and the Beast: The same overall base-plot, but set in faerieland and without redemption.

Four Horsemen: Pestilence, whose friends call her Pessie, is woken to bring about the end of the world. But before she can conjure up her deadliest plague yet, she must find the newest Horseman, War, and bring him to their commander, Famine. All the while, she must forget the once-human side of her that Death first fell in love with, and who he is determined to bring back within her.

These are the ones in progress at the moment. Some are written, others only half-so. But they'll be under the series name, 'Twisted Tales' soon! (less)

Is Winter Storm coming out soon? I see that you've made a page for the book and mentioned it vaguely in your blog. Now that I'm here what other series are you working on? Anything new or the witches in belle vue one?

That's the best I can confirm for now. It's in the final stages of edits, but my mind has drifted to other stories and I just can't seem to fall back in with Winter and the others at the moment. I try not to force myself to write when I face blocks in the story, otherwise the writing comes out all muddled and stiff. I've put it to the side right now and am working on something else, and when that's done, I should be able to return to finish up Winter's story.
It will definitely be out this year is all I can say.
Witches in Belle-Vue didn't catch much of an interest, so I've put that to the side for now, too. At the moment, I'm working on a series of fairy tale re-imaginings, but on the dark side. They will be short anthologies and our beloved zombies will make an appearance in one!
The first in the series is a Red Riding Hood re-telling...Cover reveal for that soon.
