MODERN MAGIC: A Quartet of Fractured Fairy Tales
I'm gonna cut to the chase. My publisher, Crimson Romance, put out a call for 'Fractured Fairy Tales' earlier this year - I was all over it, of course! My synopsis didn't make the cut, but the result is this incredible bundle of short stories that you have to (HAVE TO) read. Take a look at Modern Magic: A Quartet of Fractured Fairy Tales - you'll be glad you did!
The Stories Have Changed A Little...
What if Cinderella
ditched the prince's ball and sent her fairy godmother to find love in her place?
Suppose a streetwise hero hired to steal an all-powerful Genie (stuck in a flash drive rather than a brass lamp) for a tech company ended up running for his life with the CEO's gorgeous, intelligent daughter?
Or what if the bed that
a certain golden-tressed girl accidentally napped in belonged to the hot and
famous middle brother of a notorious boy band?
Can you envision the
sparks that might fly if a bitter and downright beastly wheelchair-bound woman
propositioned a handsome bookseller to stay with her in exchange for her rare
book collection?
This spellbinding
anthology features modern and sexy spins on four classic fairy tales that will
enchant you by Jennifer DeCuir, Stephanie Cage, Andrea R. Cooper,
and Nancy C. Weeks.
This set of short stories is a charming little collection; Modern Magic pretty much embodies the Crimson Romance logo, to say the very least - Strong. Smart. Satisfying. With the winter months approaching, you're gonna need a collection of stories with which to snuggle! And since both Kirby AND Company Ink are already on your virtual shelves (smile), you should definitely add this digibox set!

About The Authors
Jennifer DeCuir, author of A Late-Blooming Rose, grew
up in a small town in Maine, which provides the basis for Scallop Shores, the
fictional town in Drawn to Jonah. She's busy raising two kids and a husband.
She loves including children and babies in her stories, as her own provide
endless story ideas. Currently residing in rain-soaked Washington, she can
usually be found working on her latest book in a local Starbucks.

Stephanie
Cage, author of Music to Her Ears is
a British romance writer, author of 'Perfect Partners' (Crimson Romance) and
'Desperate Bid (The Wild Rose Press). She studied English Literature at Oxford
University and Creative Writing at Bath Spa. One of her most exciting writing
moments was winning a holiday to Sicily in the Woman's Own Short Story
Competition. More recently she won the Yorkshire Ridings Magazine's Romance
Story competition. Oddly, both short stories were set in the same location in
Yorkshire.

Andrea
R. Cooper, author of Fairy Trouble
writes fantasy, paranormal, historical and romantic suspense. Her favorite
childhood memories revolved around creating vibrant characters for her friends,
and then acting out their adventures. Inside her fantasy worlds of darkened
forests, dragon-filled glades, and iced islands, nothing was banned. From the
ethereal Elvin to the most maligned Vampires, all were welcome in her fictional
realities, a stark contrast to her home, where the magical and mythical was
forbidden.

Nancy
C. Weeks, author of His One Wish
has loved happy-ever-after romances since she was in her early teens. While
still in college, she met and married her hero. She spent the next several
years honeymooning and working overseas. Today, she lives in suburban Maryland
with her husband of more than thirty years. With her two grown children out of
the nest, she loves spending her days on her deck writing as the local bird
population keeps her company.

Can I wake up to praise like this every Monday morning? Oh my goodness! We are such lucky authors to have someone in our own corner cheering us on like this. Thank you so much, Samantha Anne. I sincerely hope Crimson publishes another collection of twisted fairy tales - and I highly encourage you to submit again. :D
ReplyDeleteHi Samantha! I'm with Jennifer. What a sweet comment about Modern Magic. This is my first visit to your lovely blog and I can't thank you enough for allowing us to drop by.
ReplyDeleteWishing you ladies the best of luck with this collection! The fact that Crimson ran with an idea like this honestly makes me feel like they're the kind of publisher that roots for those quirky-minded authors (like us!) with a unique (yet wholly familiar) story to tell. I certainly hope everyone gets to have the kind of fun I did reading this set! :)
ReplyDeleteAw! Thanks so much for your support! I wrote another story too which didn't make the cut but I hope to find a home for it one day... a crazy sci-fi version of Sleeping Beauty. What did you have in mind to write, if you don't mind my asking?
ReplyDeleteHey Stephanie - you'll have my endless support regardless (cuz, hello? Labelmates!), but this was truly a collection of stories I could sink my teeth into! I started (but hadn't finished) a twist on Rumpelstiltskin. I definitely liked the story, but hey - in retrospect, it might have been a little dark, even a little off mark - but I haven't let the concept go, so you may see it yet!
