Once Upon a Broken Dream: A Creativia Anthology

by Natalie J. Case (Editor), Richard M. Ankers, Susan-Alia Terry

Dragons, magic, fairies, angels, vampires, knights, a gollum, a vengeful child's toy, a depressed cashier, a bridge made of stars, and a donkey... What do they all have in common? An appearance in this anthology.

This collection of short stories is as diverse as the Creativia authors who wrote them. Travel to Victorian London, an otherworldly slave market, a faraway planet, a quaint English town and other wondrous places in the pages of Once Upon a Broken Dream.

177 pages, Kindle Edition

About the author

Natalie lives and works in Stockton, CA.

Words were her first love and she grew up finding new ways to put words together to tell stories. Known to occasionally commit random acts of poetry, Natalie primarily dabbles in worlds where magic exists, where vampires and shape-shifters share page time with gods and demons, and characters that are born inside her head find themselves struggling in a world made real through the magic of words.

Refusing to be confined to a single genre, Natalie's current works in progress span, and sometimes combine, horror, fantasy, sci-fi, urban fantasy and more.

Reviews

[Mari]

I'm finished with Once Upon A Broken Dream: As the editor states, the prompt promised no prince or happily ever after. Some of the stories will end in unhappiness, but the writing is superb. If you love short stories with different endings, this is the book you have been waiting to read.
