Once Upon A Time: A Collection of Unexpected Fairytales

Once Upon A time: A Collection of Unexpected Fairytales, collected by S. J. I. Holliday and edited by Anna Meade, is finally available for purchase! My husband Robert's story and my story are both included in this collection of flash fiction fairytales.  It includes 89 fairytales that are each 350 words or less, and I can't wait to get my copy!


I am told that the proceeds will be going to a charity. I will update here as soon as I find out which one.


Doesn't this cover look great?

These flash fiction fairytales are a great way to add some magic to your day in small increments of time. Each one is a quick and easy read, great for reading while waiting for an appointment or while sitting on a bus. Actually, they are great to read whenever you have small snippets of time. As a busy mom to small children, I like flash fiction stories because I actually have time to read one or two before being interrupted by one of the children.

And I must admit, I love having my story published!


Here's where you can buy your copy of it in paperback:

Once Upon a Time Anthology


Once Upon a Time Unexpected Fairytales


My flash fiction story "The Guardian" and Robert's flash fiction story "What Daddy Doesn't Know Won't Hurt Him" will be available in an anthology of Unexpected Fairytales along with 88 other stories! It will be available as a print book or ebook! It will hopefully be ready in time to coincide with National Flash Fiction Day on 16th May (when the WINNERS of the contest these stories were entered into will also be announced).

These stories were all contest entries for the Once Upon a Time flash fiction contest of Unexpected Fairytales, hosted by Anna Meade from Yearning for Wonderland and Susi Holliday from SJI Holliday. They had 88 entries into the contest, and, with the inclusion of their own stories, that will make 90 stories for the anthology.

I have had a read through all of the stories in the competition, and I thought all of them were fantastic works of fiction that used fabulous wordplay and wonderfully creative imagination. Some of the stories were remakes of old fairytales with a twist, one was written as a poem, and some were completely new fairytales.

I will be sure to announce when the book is available for purchase, and I hope that you will go out and buy one!
