Announcing A Classic Retold!
I bet you all thought I’d given up writing for good, didn’t you??? Well, consider those fears assuaged. After a year and a half of sitting on this massive secret, it is an overwhelming honor to finally get to tell you all about A CLASSIC RETOLD, an epic multi-author fantasy series coming your way this fall!
Step into classic literature like never before in this hope-filled collection of nine fantastical retellings of the enduring tales we know and love. Rich fantasy worlds breathe new life into beloved characters as they take on terrifying dragons, heartless queens, perilous seas, and more!
This series is the most ambitious project I’ve ever worked on, and I have been amazed and inspired over and over again by my fellow authors in this collaboration. You will NOT want to miss a single page of this series!
Here’s what you have to look forward to:
BREAK THE BEAST by Allison Tebo Author – a Beowulf retelling
CRACK THE STONE by Emily Golus – a Les Miserables retelling
STEAL THE MORROW by Jenelle Leanne Schmidt – an Oliver Twist retelling

CHASE THE LEGEND by yours truly!!! – a Moby Dick retelling

Ahhhhh I just can’t wait till September! Here’s how you can join in the excitement RIGHT NOW: sign up for cover reveal team by clicking this link and filling out the form. Guys, these covers are gorgeous and trust me, you’ll want to see them early.
Which one are you most excited for? Personally, I have always had a special place in my heart for Hamlet, and Emily Hayes is one of the few modern authors I would trust to do that story justice. But I’m also pretty stoked about a certain sea dragon story… more on that later.
Stay tuned for more details coming soon, particularly about CHASE THE LEGEND! In the meantime, ask me anything, and I’ll happily answer questions. What’s the deal with classics? Why retellings? How did all of this come to be in the first place? Who are the other authors and why are you so excited to work with them? All good questions, and I’m working on posts to answer them! Maybe if I poke this old blog with a stick enough times, it will revive…
