Welcome to another great giveaway hop hosted by the amazing I Am A Reader, Not a Writer and vvb32reads! This giveaway runs from April 26th to May 1st. Thanks for visiting my blog and good luck!
I love the theme for this one because I love Fairy Tales. Believe it or not, Fateful was actually inspired by a fairy tale! The Frog Prince. The hero is just a vampire instead of a frog, and the plot is really quite different from the original tale...
Fair Maiden is a new spin on Sleeping Beauty. By adding a great deal of fantasy and a generous dose of paranormal, I don't think Fair Maiden is an ordinary retelling, though. I suppose my love affair with Fairy Tales is the reason why those antique stories have influenced my writing.
My top 3 favorite Fairy Tale heroes are:
#1 Prince Charming ~ What girl doesn't long to meet her own prince charming? I think even as we grow up we might secretly still wish for that. I don't think he always needs to be perfect, because silly personality quirks are what makes him even more lovable. Just like Flynn Rider in Tangled...#2 Shrek ~ Need I say more?
#3 The woodsman in Little Red Riding Hood. ~ A tough guy with an ax who can take on the big bad wolf is always hot, right?
Now for the prize:
For one winner I will ship a signed paperback copy of Fair Maiden with a matching beaded bookmark. (USA only)

I'd love to see a modern retelling of Sleeping Beauty and Snow White!
I want to live in Rupunzel's old tower now that she's moved back to the castle. That place had a killer view! I'm referring to the one from Tangled of course.
I also love Anastasia although growing up Cinderella was my favorite fairy tale but it has been retold many times.

I would love to see either Sailor Moon retold in modern times or the story of Fire and Ice; an animated 80s movie! I grew up watching both and so to me those are my classic fairy tales! XD
i love all the fairy tales! and i would love it if there was really a book like the one they have on once upon a time where all the fairy tales were told together and they all interacted with each other in the same story : )
I would love to see a retelling of Cinderella that isn't cheesy, but beautifully done.
I love Shrek too. It's sweet and original and I want donkey to make me waffles :)
I love your writing!
I would love to see The Snow Queen made into a movie. :-D
I would love to see retellings of The Six Swans and Snow-White and Rose-Red.
I love the new movie coming out in June called Brave. I like that women aren't always the damsel in distress.
I love fairy eales too and was so excited to see this blog hop!
Thanks for the giveaway! I absolutely LOVE the Disney movie Tangled!! I watch it all the time! :)
There have been so many retelling's that I have read and really loved. I think a modern day day Goldie Locks and the 3 bears would be kinda fun!!!
There have been so many already retold. I can't really think of one.
I think a retelling of Sleeping Beauty would be awesome! And-- I'm sure there's already one out there somewhere-- a retelling of Snow White would be pretty sweet, too.
I have always dreamed of being Snow White from Snow White and the Seven Dwarf's, because I thought she was just a beautiful representation of a fair maiden. :)

I've always had a soft spot for Rumplestiltskin. I would love to see that retold or the Little Mermaid.
I'd like a re telling of Hansel and Gretel.
I love Sleeping Beauty. Disney version is the second movie I ever owned so it holds a SUPER SPECIAL place in my heart
I haven't seen alot of Sleeping Beauty, it's always Snow White.

I would love to see a modern retelling of The Little Mermaid, Disney version not the original. I like happy endings :) Thanks for the chance to win!
Cinderella is one of my favorites right now, because I liked CINDER and ASH so much
I love Beauty and the Beast.
I want to see a retelling true to the original book of The Little Mermaid.
My favorite fairytale is Beauty and the Beast, a tale not only of romance but of friendship and redemption. However, there are many re-tellings of this fairytale, so I'd love to see a modern re-telling of "The Little Match Girl" or "The Matchbook Girl".
Thank you for your generosity, and for participating in this blog hop!
I'd like to see a retelling of Snow White.
Read "Cinder"! It's a really good book about Cinderella as a cyborg :)
I would really like to see a retelling of Hansel and Gretel. It is an often overlooked fairy tale, but a really cool and creepy concept. thanks for the giveaway!
Robin Hood is probably my fave. I love what he stands for. Just a great tale, and I could use more retellings of his story! Or her!

i really am not certain of what story i want retold. I love cinderella and all the renditions of it.
The Princess & The Pea is one of my favorites that I'd love to see retold :)
I'd love to see the Swan Princess retold. Thanks for the chance!
My favorite fairy tale here is Prince Charming. He's a classic!
I'd love to see sleeping beauty retold. She could fall asleep hundreds of years ago and reawaken in modern times. I think it would be fascinating to see.
Loved Pinocchio! Dreams do come true. I had the record and book that I would play on the record player over and over when I was a little girl.
I love retellings of The Ugly Duckling. I think it translates very well to modern day stories. Thanks for the chance to win your book!
I really like the tale of Bearskin. I have only seen one children's book. I'm hoping to find other adaptations someday. For now, I may consider writing my own for NaNoWriMo.
I've always loved Rumpelstilskin, so I would love to see more retellings of it.
and the Twelve Dancing Princesses!
my fave character is Cinderella
I love me some Peter Pan!!!!!!! :D
Tigerheart by Peter David is an AWESOME re-tell of Peter Pan!!!
I would love to walk through the different forests in The Twelve Dancing Princesses. Thanks for the giveaway! I am participating in the hop as well (#27 ~ Fairday's Blog!) Have a great night : ) ~ Jess
I'd like to see a modern version of The Emperor's New Clothes, though probably not about clothes, or the lack thereof. Something about the gullibility of some people and how foolish they actually can be.
I could read the story of Beauty and the Beast over and over. And Anastacia is a great story too!
Thanks for all of the GREAT comments!!! I really do appreciate that you all took the time.
Thank you, Lexie! xoxo
Hmmm, I wonder how I can do an unusual retelling of Beauty and The Beast, or Anastacia, or Cinderella, or...
And now I need to check out Cinder, but a cyborg Cinderella? Really. ~shivers~ LOL
