Curse of Magic: Name that fairy tale!

Champions, you got reviews in with record timing! A big thank you to everyone who took the time to leave an honest review, I really appreciate it–and so do all the new Champions who have joined us after reading them! 😉

To celebrate this occasion, here is Curse of Magic’s bonus short story: The Love Potion: PDF file

I hope you enjoy it! As I’ve said before it takes place during the events of Apprentice of Magic.

Now! As most of you Champions know, Fairy Tale Enchantress is essentially the story of all the events of my Timeless Fairy Tales series, and Angelique is the thread that connects all the books together.

In Apprentice of Magic we got to see Angelique before she was the Enchantress-in-Training most know from the Timeless Fairy Tale series, and you got to take a peak at a few of her adventures which were much more on the fable side of things. (ie: Boy Who Cried Wolf, Diamonds and Toads, the Emperor’s New Clothes….)

But in Curse of Magic, the tasks Angelique takes on are far more epic, and take her waltzing through several big fairy tales. They are:

1. Beauty and the Beast

2. Puss in Boots

3. Cinderella

4. Wild Swans

5. Sleeping Beauty

That’s all for today, Champions! (It’s a short post, but I was planning to post it yesterday as more of a check in when I realized you guys were going to hit our review goal in a matter of hours, so I delayed it a bit!)

Curse of Magic: Let’s Celebrate!

The wait is over, Curse of Magic is finally available to purchase or to read in KU! Wooohoooo!!

I am so relieved! CoM was a work of love, Champions. That sucker is my longest fairy tale book by a lot. I hope you enjoy all the extra scenes! But as some of you were wondering, I am indeed throwing my usual “let’s celebrate/thanks for reviewing” special.

Once CoM hits about 90 reviews–including reviews across all Amazon stores and Goodreads–I will release a bonus chapter! I’m again only doing one this time because it’s a long bonus chapter/scene. (It’s actually even longer than the Duke’s Clothes!) It’s called The Love Potion, and it takes place during the events of Apprentice of Magic.

I like to release bonus content with book releases because I am sincerely grateful for your honest reviews! They help me, and they help readers new to me decide if the book is really something they’d be interested in. So a big thank you in advance to all you dedicated Champions who review!

I’m going to keep it short and stop it here–mostly because I’m sure everyone is anxious to go and read, so be free my Champions! 😉 But remember to check back for themed blog posts and the extra! Until then, enjoy the book.

Beauty and the Beast Retellings

Beauty and the Beast is one of the most well known fairy tales ever–and, let’s be real, the Disney animated movie is pretty much perfection!

If you're in the mood for a fairy tale read, don't worry! This epic list of Beauty and the Beast retellings is sure to have something you'll love.

My version of Beauty and the Beast is the first book in my series of fairy tale retellings, the Timeless Fairy Tales series, and one of my other books, Curse of Magic, will give you the Enchantress' side of the story!

Beastly by Alex Flinn

Beauty by Robin McKinley

Rose Daughter by Robin McKinley

The Princess and the Hound by Mette Ivie Harrison

Beauty and the Beast by K.M. Shea (Haha, surprise! This is my version of the beloved story where "Beauty" breaks her leg falling through the "Beast's" skylight so she's stuck there until her leg heals. And then the meddling servants make the most of it!)

I asked my reader communities for a "couple" of suggestions and here's the long list they gave me. I did ask for no spice and low language but read the reviews first if that is a concern for you. Now brace yourself because they had a LOT of recommendations!
