Melanie Dickerson:
What fairytale(s) are each one of your books based off of in the Hagenhiem and Thornbeck series?
Melanie Dickerson
Hi, Abbi!
The Healer's Apprentice is Sleeping Beauty
The Merchant's Daughter is Beauty and the Beast
The Fairest Beauty is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
The Captive Maiden is Cinderella
The Princess Spy is The Frog Prince
The Golden Braid is Rapunzel
The Silent Songbird is The Little Mermaid
And from my other series:
The Huntress of Thornbeck Forest is a cross between Robin Hood and Swan Lake
The Beautiful Pretender is The Princess and the Pea and Beauty and the Beast
The Noble Servant is Goose Girl and Prince and the Pauper
And my future projects are an Aladdin story and a Mulan story, both of those in the works for 2018. :-)

Hi! Do you have a specific plot for the Little Mermaid? If so what is it about? Is it a looser retelling of the little mermaid? Sorry, I'm just curious. I love your books! I just don't like the little mermaid...but I'm excited to read it! I never liked Robin Hood but you did spectacular with that! Same with Cinderella. Anyway thank you :)

How many books will there be in The Regency Spies of London series? I love those books SO much!! I love that you've branched out into a new time and place. They've become some of my absolute favorites of your books. Also, I'm curious. Will you ever write historical romances in other time periods as well?

Hi! I love your books they are amazing!!! Anyway, I know that you have said that the Medieval Fairy Tale series and Hagenheim series are, in fact, not related, but I was recently rereading The Golden Braid, and Gerek mentions Thornbeck multiple times. Is this the same Thornbeck from the Medieval series? Or just a coincidence?
