Was "The Fairy's Mistake" a retelling of anything? It reminded me of "Mother Holle" by Brothers Grimm!
Gail Carson Levine
It's a retelling of "Toads and Diamonds."

I just finished rereading A Tale of Two Castles - thanks for the good read! I like how you turned the fairy tale on its head and made a whodunit out of it, too. I'm curious - how did you come up with the names Jonty Um, Menore, and so on? I think I can guess where you got Frair and Maydsin, and maybe Thiel's name, too.

I really like to write, but I've found a very hard time finding a good writing contest, that's free, not a scam, etc. Do you know any good ones? Thanks so much!
