The Fairy Tale Ink is proud to present these four retold stories of the classic, The Little Mermaid. A story for every reader from best-selling and award-winning authors! The Academy, by Jo Schneider: Ariel thought going to The Academy would rid her of the shadow of five older sisters, but school isn't all Ri dreamed it would be. Between a grouchy mage of a roommate and sisters who won't mind their own business, Ri finds solace in a chance encounter with the human prince. He too lives in a shadow, and they become quick friends. But when he starts asking probing questions about Ri’s kingdom, she must find out what the prince is really after. Sand and Sea, by Adrienne Monson: Prince Elex is in danger and the only one who knows of his intended assassination is Aria. But how can a mermaid save an innocent human from certain death? Luckily she knows a sea witch who just might have the answer to her dilemma. But will Aria be able to reach the prince in time? Under the Moonlit Sea, by Teri Harman: As queen of the Moon Mermaids, Quila is responsible for keeping the tides flowing. Anson is a professional deep-sea diver, a dangerous sport few men survive. When Anson is trapped in a shipwreck, Quila defies the rules of her people to save his life. The rescue sparks a fevered attraction, but bridging the gap between land and sea comes at great cost. Pua’s Kiss, by Lehua Parker: Kanaloa, the great Hawaiian ocean god, has only one kapu law for his daughter Pua: bear no Niuhi-human sons or die. Easy to obey in her Niuhi shark form, but Pua has an irresistible itch that’s relieved only by napping on the beach in the afternoon sun. When she meets Californian Justin Halpert, he’s perfect. Alone on his prepaid Hawaiian honeymoon, he wants nothing more permanent than a temporary tattoo. For the first time in centuries, Pua’s looking forward to a romantic interlude that doesn’t end in a bloody shark attack. But modern times bring modern complications. Too bad Justin has secrets of his own.
Authors
Author Angela Brimhall published her debut novella, Fathomless Beauty, inside Fairy Tale Ink's anthology, Fractured Beauty in 2016. After learning quite a few lessons about herself, editors, and publishing, she continued with the twisted fairy tale series and published the next three novellas in the twisted fairy tale series through 2019. While these were her first publishing projects, Angela's true heart lies beneath the darker side of literature. Thanks to the many nightmares her imagination conjured up as a child, Angela's passion twists and turns inside the paranormal and supernatural universes where ghosts, monsters, and things that go bump in the night come alive. She is currently working on a spooky middle-grade anthology and a young adult thriller. A true artist at heart, she also enjoys writing poetry and song lyrics, singing, drawing, and crafting. Around Halloween, you can find her hiding in her basement, painting life-sized creatures and tombstones to display in her front yard. Angela is a huge Halloween nerd and spends more time and money on her costume and yard decor every year than she should openly admit. Supernatural is her favorite show and to answer your burning question; she is definitely a Dean girl. She is also a die-hard Harry Potter fan and her office is packed wall-to-wall with a growing collection of book and movie memorabilia so she can write and thrive within the magic of it all.
Adrienne Monson has always had a voracious appetite for books. When she became a stay at home mom, she finally listened to her muse and began writing. She enjoys Zumba, kickboxing and weightlifting. She also loves delicious foods, which is why she has to work out so often. Dissension and Defiancé is available where books are sold. Deliverance, the final installment of the Blood Inheritance trilogy is slated for release April 2016. Eyes of Persuasion is a mashup of paranormal and historical romance, found exclusively on Amazon.
