Fractured Fairy Tales?  Who broke ’em?  WE DID!

On Jenna’s Journal this week Patricia Green, Casea Major, and I will begin celebrating the   publication of our short stories–fractured fairy tales that will be released on May 27 in conjunction with the launch of New Dawning International Bookfair, a new e-publisher and “bookstore to the world.”

What are fractured fairy tales?  Take a fairy tale we all know and love, then give it a modern twist of some sort.  The movie Pretty Woman is a twisted re-telling of Cinderella.  Our tales have similar, though somewhat more provocative twists to them.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

becomes

Fed up with Femville’s wussy men, Goldie is looking for a strong-willed guy who’s not too gentle, not too harsh, but just right.

The classic fairy-tale Pinocchio meets the Sopranos as

 A rookie wiseguy with a telltale dick tries to dodge the advances of the mob boss’ daughter he’s assigned to protect.

The Three Little Pigs become Harley-Davidson riders in

A beautiful-but-frustrated woman on the prowl seduces three Harley “hogs” to gain the sexual satisfaction she craves, and the dream bike she desires.

And Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs takes on a completely new image

Hiding from her evil stepmother, Snow White finds herself in the WITSEC program, protected by tall and sexy Marshal Doc DuMont.

All of our tales have a sexy edge the originals certainly did not.  But all of our tales have a Happily Ever After, which some of the originals also did not have. 

We think we have improved on the originals–come check us out and see for yourselves!

New Dawning International Bookfair will release all of the Fractured Fairy Tales on Friday, May 27.  Jenna’s Journal will  hold a Fairy-Tale Ending Contest that day.  The Prize:  copies of all four of the works posted here on Jenna’s Journal. 

To enter is as easy as dropping breadcrumbs like Hansel and Gretel:  Visit Jenna’s Journal each day next week and read the posts by authors Patricia Green, Casea Major, and me, Jenna Jaxon.  Read the blurbs and excerpts too.  On Friday, May 27th I will post five questions about our Fairy Tales and their authors.  Answer all five questions and email the answers to me and you will be entered to receive your very own Fairy-Tale Ending–four brand new stories to read.

I will be posting more about the Fairy-Tales, New Dawning International Bookfair, and our fabulous authors during this week, so stop by and check us out–
