To Dance with the Fae
(short story collection)
The beat is an aching itch, a bone-deep need to dance.
He turns and pulls me into his rhythm,
light on my feet, flying in time with the sound of my heartbeat,
the brush of the music, the rush of his movement.
To Dance with the Fae is a collection of fairy tale retellings and fairy tale adjacent short stories crossing a variety of genres and settings, including both previously published and new content.
Here you will find a Baltimore woman with six unruly pigeon brothers, a nanny who is Very Tired of her job, a young girl with nightmares of a gingerbread house in the forest, a lonely woman seeking her home. There are scattered breadcrumbs, a wisp of sea foam, diamonds, and maybe even a few shoes. This collection includes the popular “Forged in Iron and Blood,” as well as a previously unpublished sequel.
