Happy New Year, everyone!
I’m announcing more fairy tale retellings from Beyond the Bookery, and these announcements are multiple blog posts during this month. I’ll list the titles with their Amazon blurbs.
Here are the first two. Don’t they strike your fancy?
Of Might and Mettle: A Brave Tin Soldier Retelling by Michelle Emmanuelli

I’m going to be featured in an anthology from Beyond the Bookery called Of Dangers and Dreams, and my story will be friendly for teens and tweens.
