My Quick Thoughts: 
"Uncloaked" by Wendy Owens- 
Not a typical Little red riding hood story. It's vampires, or the reborn, vs. werewolves with the help of witches and fae.

"Blayze & Ash" by Jessica Sorenson-
Modern day Beauty & the Beast. Blayze is self sacrificing and feisty. Ash is a prick but Blayze brings love into his life and turns his life around.

"Little Mermaid" by  K.R. Wilburn-  
Navy Seal meets Triton's runaway princess. Great twist fairytale twist and just cute. Loved the dramatic ending.

"Dance With Me" by Tish Thawer
Was unfamiliar with the original fairytale, so this whole story was a complete surprise. Overall just a strange story that ends with a good ending.


"Awakened" by Kristen Strassel- 
Sultry, Sexy and Hot! Vampire rockers finally succumbing to their lust, yep soooo not the classic sleeping beauty but great nonetheless.

"Priceless" by Sarah J. Pepper-
Wow sooo basically no Prince Charming or Mr. Right but definitely a Mr. Dangerous & Delicious for the female lead. The couples flirtation is tension filled, hot and bothered to the max!

"The Snow Queen" by Shannon Morton-
C-R-A-Z-Y!! Mind messing short story about a girl who breaks boys of their emotions. Waaaay twisted.

"Caged" by L.P. Dover-
For a short story it felt full of emotion and action. Great modern twist on Rapunzel, could see this made into a full novel. 

"Puss In Boots" by Brynn Myers-
Super cute. Loved the story and unlikely couple made the strongest because of who they really are on the inside, not external facades. 

"Rell" by Amy Daws-
Modern version of Cinderella. This time Rella has a dream to be a swimsuit fashion designer. Nice twist there.

"Casting Crowns and Other Curious Things" by Elizabeth Montgomery-
Alice is the absolute heroine of this tale! No damsel in distress found in this tale.

"Hansel & Gretel" by Cameo Renae-
If you've read the After Light Saga series this story is a great snippet into that world but fairy tale style. I kinda hope we get to see Greta in the next books somehow cause she's just as awesome as Abigail Park.

"Real Boy" by Kellie Sheridan-
Oh creepy! iRobot meets bicentennial man Pinocchio story. Bottom line never trust a robot man!! It's clear just stick to the real deal for a true HEA.


"Jaclyn and the Beanstalk" by M. Clarke-
Heroine sets out to save her mom and ends up becoming Buffy the Vampire Slayer! I'd totally read a book spun off of this short story. Really who needs Jack anyways?


Sarah J. Pepper specializes in dark, paranormal romance - think "happy ever after" but with a twisted, dark chocolate center. Real-life romance isn't only filled with hugs, kisses, bunnies, and rainbows. True-love can be more thoroughly described in times of darkness and tribulation. It's in those harsh moments where you see what a person is truly capable of - both the good and bad. Sometimes prince-charming isn't always on time, and the glass slipper is a little snug. However, it doesn't mean Charming is not Mr. Right, and who says every shoe is the perfect fit? Get a glimpse inside her head at www.sarahjpepper.com

New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author, L.P. Dover, is a southern belle residing in North Carolina along with her husband and two beautiful girls. Before she even began her literary journey she worked in Periodontics enjoying the wonderment of dental surgeries.
Not only does she love to write, but she loves to play tennis, go on mountain hikes, white water rafting, and you can't forget the passion for singing. Her two number one fans expect a concert each and every night before bedtime and those songs usually consist of Christmas carols.
Aside from being a wife and mother, L.P. Dover has written over fifteen novels including her Forever Fae series, the Second Chances series, the Gloves Off series, and her standalone novel, Love, Lies, and Deception. Her favorite genre to read is romantic suspense and she also loves writing it. However, if she had to choose a setting to live in it would have to be with her faeries in the Land of the Fae.L.P. Dover is represented by Marisa Corvisiero of Corvisiero Literary Agency.

Author Elizabeth Montgomery was born in Williamsburg, Virginia and raised a hop, skip, and a jump away in Yorktown, Virginia. Paranormal inspiration was easily obtained during her childhood in these colorful towns. This helped to spur her love of Paranormal romance stories, but she also enjoys reading YA and NA.
She is currently raising four children and a husband while elbow-deep in the depths of the writing cave. You can often find her searching on Google for an appropriate, or sometimes inappropriate, photo to insert in any random conversation. If not on Google, or Facebook chat, she can be found drinking coffee (like any normal writer), eating Gummy Bears, baking fanciful cakes, reading (of course), or writing (duh).“I always wondered what authors meant when they said that their characters tell them what to write – I get it now!

International Bestselling, award winning, Author Mary Ting/M. Clarke resides in Southern California with her husband and two children. She enjoys oil painting and making jewelry. Writing her first novel, Crossroads Saga, happened by chance. It was a way to grieve the death of her beloved grandmother, and inspired by a dream she once had as a young girl. When she started reading new adult novels, she fell in love with the genre. It was the reason she had to write one-Something Great. Why the pen name, M Clarke? She tours with Magic Johnson Foundation to promote literacy and her children's chapter book-No Bullies Allowed.

 



Shannon Morton: I'm a reader of fantasy turned writer who enjoys great characters and fascinating plot twists. I like bad boys, fast cars, and chicks who aren't afraid to talk back. When I'm not writing, I can be found teaching Pilates, being mommy to two fabulous kiddos, and just generally being a crazy sarcastic insomniac mess!!



KR Wilburn has traveled the world with her family but currently calls Graham Texas home. When she isn't writing about the creatures that intrigued her Irish ancestors, she is busy studying nutrition science and reading everything she can get her hands on. She's a fan of Supernatural and Gone with the Wind, Jennifer Armentrout, Amy A. Bartol and Tara Brown and makes a mean omelette.
She is the mother of six crazy, creative and hilarious children and married to her childhood best friend and hero Ben. When she isn't busy with her dogs Trouble and Denali, you're likely to find her in a corner with her nose buried in the latest Deadpool and Red Sonja comic books and counting down the moments until she can find inspiration capturing the perfect Aurora through the lens of her camera.
