Snow White and Rose Red
I love fairy tales, the less they are known the more I like them. On my bookshelves, I no longer count the books by numbers but by meters (I’ve got 2,64m already). It seems natural that I’d start writing fairy tales, right?
Near the end of last year, I started my first try at retelling a fairly tale and think it turned out quite well (ask my beta readers). I used the story of “Snow White and Rose Red” from the dwarf’s perspective (who is not the bad guy in this case). I had so much fun, I started to retell “The Beauty and the Beast” in a steampunk setting right after. You can read and comment on the first draft here.
And I already have another idea… what do you think, should I turn this into a series? I could move on to fairy tales not as well known as my first two tries and add the original to the finished eBook once I publish.
