The Fairy Tale Ink is proud to present these four retold stories of the classic, Sleeping Beauty. A story for every reader from best-selling and award-winning authors! Aurora's Fight, by Angela Brimhall: Five years ago, Aurora was forced to live at Thornhurst Manor, the city insane asylum. Every night she dreads sunset when sleep becomes a wicked game of survival. When Aurora is kidnapped and imprisoned in The Briar, a vision reveals the desperate man in the next cell is her only hope in stopping the plague of her nightmares. Will she find a way to rescue this mysterious man before The Dragon’s death countdown reaches zero? The Lonely Princess, by Jo Schneider: Everything changed in the 500 years Aurora slept. Now teenagers go to the Academy, where humans and fey live side-by-side and everyone pretends to get along. In her attempts to find her place in this new world, she meets Saru—a mysterious boy who delights in irritating her. Their attraction is instant, but his forgotten past might be their undoing. Dragon's Curse, by Adrienne Monson: When her nana is in a near-fatal car accident, Dawn is forced to reconcile her beliefs about magic. Her long-buried powers could save Nana’s life, but at a high price. Accepting magic means that the man Dawn dreamt about her whole life is real and that she’s the only one who can save him from a cursed sleep. To do that, she’ll have to face the terrifying dragon who put him there. Restless, by Quinn Coleridge: Rory Kingston doesn’t want much. Just a good night’s sleep and a normal life free of magic. Yet Rory’s own royal pedigree keeps getting in the way of achieving these goals, not to mention her preoccupation with a new neighbor. Where the darkly handsome history professor goes, danger and mayhem follow. Has Phillip come to drag Rory back to the magical kingdom she left behind years ago or are his motives even more nefarious?
Authors
Quinn Coleridge grew up in the Pacific Northwest, where she learned to love rain storms and reading books by a crackling fire. As time went on, she studied literature and writing in college, traveled, met a man with the most beautiful eyes, got married, and had lots of kids. (She blames the eyes.) Since moving to the desert, Quinn doesn't see much rain or crackling fires these days, but she still loves books.
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.
