All the Fairy Tale Retellings? (People Have Been Asking)
Almost all of my original novels have some fairy tale or classic lit element in them somewhere, but often transmuted to the point that most people might not even notice. A good example is House of Gears. It’s a retelling of Cinderella, but you wouldn’t know by reading it right off the bat. Reading it, you might not realize it until the pumpkin coach near the end, because for the most part the book is about Cinderella rescuing her stepsister and the ball happens to be a part of the plan to get that done. But yes, most of my books are retellings of some kind in some way.
