About the author

I'm a freelance writer/instructor currently living in north-central British Columbia. I also enjoy playing video games (particularly RPGs and tactics games like Fire Emblem as well as the Mario/Kirby games), reading, hiking, taking care of animals, and shopping (on occasion). I would love to someday be able to make a full (or nearly full) living purely from writing fiction, but at least I'm fortunate enough to be able to work as a writer at all at this point.

Any questions? Feel free to ask!

I just read this story under the revised name of Something Borrowed, and realized I read it out of order (it belongs between books 1 and 2 of The Fairy Tale Case Files). A charming short story of another case for detective William Tenys, this was a nice story to fill in some of the events between the first 2 books. I'm not usually a fan of short stories but it was nice to have another excuse to visit Altria for a little while. I'm looking forward to visiting again in book 4 and beyond.

William Tenys has a new case. A case with a unique twist. This story is a nugget sized example of the what I've come to love about the Fairy Tale Case Files novels.

I read this short story after “The Curious Case of Prince Charming”, as it goes between books 1 & 2 in this series. If you want a sneak peek of Charlene’s fantasy/mystery side, this story can be a stand-alone and it takes less than a half hour to read! I flipped through the pages so fast. William Tenys is such a great character- I can’t wait to see him solve more mysteries!
