Kendra E. Ardnek is the self-proclaimed Arista of Fairy Tales. She lives in the Piney Woods of East Texas with her dragon babies and massive herd of mini-giraffes, and she is still waiting for one of of her fifty nutcrackers to come to life and marry her. When not writing, you can usually find her sitting in a random box, and she’s frequently known to act before she thinks.

Thornrose Estate by Kendra E. Ardnek
"This is ABSOLUTELY my favorite Austen Fairy Tale. While I was a little uncertain at the start — Calla in the previous books was far from my favorite character — I quickly grew to love characters and story, and I think this is the strongest entry in t" Read more of this review »
Fairer Than Beauty by Kendra E. Ardnek
"4.5 stars.

This is a very clever take on Beauty and the Beast, featuring a princess who knows how this story is supposed to go and a Beast who doesn't particularly want to be un-Beast-ified. The story takes place in a world where fairy tales tend to r" Read more of this review »

This is a story about how love isn't just emotions, about how sometimes it's about making a choice, letting go of unrealistic expectations and seeing another person for who they are. Its a story about how sometimes you need to choose what's" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Kendra E. Ardnek  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“It is a fact universally acknowledged that a short girl in pursuit of something above her head must be in want of some young man to get it down for her.”
Kendra E. Ardnek, Water Princess, Fire Prince

“Respect is not so different from love,” said Jill Anna. “And he’s a young man quite worthy of it. I’d rather hear that you respect him, and don’t love him, than love him, and not respect him. Love can grow from respect, but love without respect will crumble away.”
Kendra E. Ardnek, Water Princess, Fire Prince

“My friend, Shira, for instance, a mere slip of a girl, is the strongest person in the world. Her twin brother, Samson, sings soprano.”
Kendra E. Ardnek, Sew, It's a Quest

“A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.”
C.S. Lewis

“You can make anything by writing.”
C.S. Lewis

“Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.”
C.S. Lewis, The Magician's Nephew

“It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”
Lewis Carroll

“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
