'An engaging, enjoyable, well-crafted escape into a modern world of fairy tales.' - Amazon reader
Escape into Enchantment! Inside this spellbinding collection of retold tales, you'll find stories that are not-quite familiar. An assassin with a midnight deadline; a shoe store owned by Princeton Charming and a sleeping, ever-so-enchanted beast. You'll read about two children, following the scent of gingerbread, and the hunter who watches them. And of course, there's a magic mirror — how do you define "fairest" anyway? But be just like magic, some stories are dark, others are funny, and a few might suck you dry...
These are stories you've read a hundred times — but never quite like this.
Upon a Time — tales of fantasy and romance, mixed with just a hint of magic.
