Two years ago I started working on a reprint anthology of stories that retold fairytales (and a few folktales). There was a wealth of material to chose among, and it was a lot of fun putting the book together. My efforts are coming to fruition this summer when you'll be able to pick up a copy of Happily Ever After. And you will want to pick up a copy as chances are at least one of your favorite authors has a story in the book:
