Original fiction, what up! (That is to say: I play with fairytales. And also apocalypses.)

Hello, oh wonderful friends list! ♥ Y'all have been so mind-blowingly, staggeringly, 'but how did I ever get this lucky, seriously now?' awesome re: reading my fanfic over the years, and for that there can never be enough thank you. Never! I have newly wandered on over into the vast, scary, and most intriguing world of eBooks, so I figured I would spread the word over here. Sometimes I write things almost entirely of my own invention! (But let's be real here, fanfiction shall always be the finest of literary art forms. I'm pretty much not even joking. VIVA LA FANFIC.)



Fairish & The One-Eyed Goatherd - Beauty(of ‘and the Beast’-type fame)’s okay-looking older sister Fairish gets her own potential fairytale. It doesn’t go too well. Featuring a heroine who really likes to say ‘screw you,’ a hero who knows how to rock an eyepatch, adventure, danger, random dragons, and all the goats you could possibly dream of. And then some. Seriously. There are just too many goats. (Find it here!)

The Beautiful Thing: Fairytales Retold - A prince is caught between the doldrums of duty and the joys of (a most improper) love. A young woman sets no stock in all that dying-for-love nonsense, and woe betide the anguished knight who tries to brood at her. And a little girl observes more of life, love, and regret than anyone would have thought to expect from a clever and vengeful witch. Three old stories given new shapes. (Find it here!)

When Flirting Met Zombies / Lifeless In Limbo - The apocalypse gets its romcom on! - Benjamin and Sarah meet cute while battling a legion of world-decimating zombies. Whether they'll survive long enough to make it to an actual first date is another question. Okay, okay, they totally don't. And? Turns out it's crazy-awkward to live happily-ever-afterlife with someone you just met. Thank God there's couples' counseling in the great beyond ... Unfortunately, there are also corndogs.

Purchased! OH THIS IS SO COOL. Did you get to check out the formatting on all the different file types before publishing? Do they do it for you? I'm really curious about this process! I actually have been editing Mark Oshiro's ebooks (yes, Mark of "Mark Reads Harry Potter") for the past several months, and it's been very interesting learning more about the editing and self-publishing process. :D

Go you for getting out there and publishing those ebooks!! ♥

It is fascinating stuff, this business of eBooks! Basically, with this one you just have to upload a correctly formatted .doc of your book, and then it has an e-book generator ... thingie that formats it into a bunch of different kinds! It's super handy!
