Straying from the Path

Familiar stories. Unfamiliar magic.

Everyone knows what happens in a fairy tale—as long as everyone stays on the path.

But step into the woods, wander beyond the familiar story, and things become a little less predictable.

A Rapunzel with hair of teeth and claw must decide whether the tower is sanctuary or prison. A girl cursed to speak in toads discovers that an apparent affliction can become an army. Red ventures into the forest for a wolf rather than away from one. And a golden-haired girl returns to an enchanted wood where bears, princes, and old magic are not quite what they seem.

Along the way, there are marvelous boots, dangerous witches, a scarred war prince, a dashing Bandit King, and more than a few consequences for anyone foolish enough to underestimate a fairy-tale heroine.

Straying from the Path brings together two novellas and four short stories inspired by familiar tales including Rapunzel, Puss in Boots, Diamonds and Toads, Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, and Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

For readers who like their fairy tales clever, slightly dark, and full of unexpected magic.

Because anything can happen when you stray from the path.
