Bonjour!
Welcome back! Grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea (whichever you prefer) and come join me under my cherry tree. I have an exciting bit of news which has me bursting buttons!
Drumroll, please.

IT'S FINALLY HERE! The Bear of Rosethorn Ring is officially on the shelves of literary classics! I have been dying to see the hard copy of this beauty since I heard of its beginnings. Unfortunately, I must hold off on my excitement for just a few more days until the paperback is available on Amazon.
But, if it seems as if you can't wait, you can click this link to get it on Kindle!
But in the meantime, we have a special today. Included with the release of BoRTR, the author is holding a blog tour for the next few days. I highly recommend jumping on the wagon and joining the fun!
Today's special is...
...Fairytale Tag! If you don't know how to play, don't worry! I've never done it either... XD
It's actually super simple and crazy fun! Go here to learn how to play!
After you've read the rules, grab a snack and a pen and get scribbling!
Here's my answers:
- What's your favorite fairytale? If you can't whittle it down to one, give us a list! I like The Little Match-Girl, Rapunzel, and Snow White and Rose Red, among others.
- What's your favorite fairytale retelling? Or retellings, since most of us have more than one? My favorite retelling? Well, I haven't read many, but out of the ones I have read: Spindle Dreams and Secret of the Hazel Tree by Kirsten Fichter; With Blossoms Gold by Hayden Wand.
- When were you first introduced to the fairytale Snow White and Rose Red? I first read the story in an old reader we owned. It was printed probably close to a hundred years ago now, and contained a number of fairytales and folktales. *fangirling over old books*
- If you awoke one day, cursed and lumbering around as a bear, what would be the first thing you'd do? Do you know why you're cursed? I would promptly scream or faint. I wouldn't know why I was cursed; maybe because I ate the last piece of chocolate or something? XD
- Snow White and Rose Red kept a pet lamb. What would your ideal fairytale pet be? Well, I'm allergic to cats and dogs, so maybe a goat or rabbit.
- If you were to have a color-based name like Snow White or Rose Red, what would your name be -- and why? Cherry Red. Yeah, it's not sparkly or unique, but that's me.
- Snow White and Rose Red's mother planted two rosebushes in front of their cottage, one with white roses and one with red roses. Would you plant roses in front of your house, or perhaps another plant? Why? I love roses, but they're not my number one fave. I would probably go with daffodils, lilies, or marigolds.
- A stranger knocks on your door during a blizzard, begging for shelter. Do you let him in? Yeah, probably...once I was sure he wasn't a burglar. XD
- Would you rather have your hair (or beard) caught in a tree, in a fishing line, or in an eagle's talons? In a tree. I have already had my hair caught there before.
- The dwarf offers his treasures to keep himself from being eaten by a bear. What would you offer the bear to discourage him from eating you? My lunch, of course!
I hope you enjoyed my answers! Comment below with a link to your page so I can read yours! If you want to continue in the fun with the whole blog tour, click this link --> A Synesthete Writer's Blog Tour
