On Fairy Tales... Digging deeper

4/29/2020

Who doesn't love a good fairy tale?

We think they are for kids, but I disagree. I think they are full of treasures for the one willing to look. I think that's why they are told again and again in various ways.

For a couple of years, I've felt nudged to write some fairy tale retellings, and I'm glad that I listened to that inner nudging. Like parables, these old stories have a way of reaching through time with some hard truths that resonate even today.

Ha! Trials. of research? Not really.

I'm having so much fun with my research for My Wayfaring Billionaire- book 3 in the Grimwood Legacy Series. I wanted to share some of the cool things I've found and have been doing.

I'm so excited about this new romance series that will be released this week. I hope you'll enjoy reading about the Grimwood brothers and sister, as much as I'm enjoying writing about them. Today, I'm sharing a sample of the first couple of chapters.

Grab your copy of the first book on January 17th!

Not Your Usual Beauty and the Beast Retelling...

After a motorcycle accident nearly a year ago, jewelry artisan, Duncan Grimwood, still suffers from the aftermath and keeps himself hidden away.

His personal assistant, Barbara, insists it's time he re-enters the real world. She's set up an extravagant holiday gala to display Duncan's latest works and hired the only decorating company willing to take on this big project at the last minute.

Decorating the huge, but neglected, Grimwood Manor for a holiday gala is the chance of a lifetime for Elisa Lucken.

The only catch: Do not disturb the reclusive Duncan Grimwood.
That's fine with Elisa--who simply wants to get her job done and get out of the strange mansion.

While absorbed in her work, Elisa doesn't hear the blizzard warning that sent the rest of her crew home. Now she's stuck at the cold, dark manor for the Thanksgiving weekend.

Is there any a chance Duncan Grimwood will come around to reveal the true man hiding behind the beastly exterior?
