Red and the Wolf

On Amazon  /  Smashwords

Red and the Wolf


...or, What Sharp Teeth You Have!

by... Me! 


Is finished!!! 


I can  hardly believe it, it's taken so long, but I finally decided that's enough editing, enough critique, enough feedback from my lovely, lovely, patient, kind (but still helpfully critical) beta readers, it's time to let my little girl go out there into the big wide world!

I don't know if everyone will agree, but I absolutely love the way the cover came out in the end!

So, this is how I've retold the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale. It's dark, it's a fantasy, and I hope it's a good story. I've put it out on pre-order through Smashwords and Amazon, so that's where you go to put your order in, and quite soon it'll be on Barnes & Noble, iBooks, Kobo and the rest. And you will, won't you, because you just know it's going to be good! The 6th of April is the Day! 

Want to know more? I'm not going to reveal the secrets, but here's the blurb:

This tale of the dark, twisted truth lurking behind the children's fairy tale will set its fangs in you and not let go. You thought you knew the story of Little Red Riding Hood? Think again. Think hard. Do you really want to know the truth? Some books are better left unopened.

What incident so scarred the psyche of a community that it preserved the memory over generations? What really happened when Red delivered the cookies to Grandma's cottage? How did the woodcutter arrive just in time? Careful research into the origins of the folk tale in Eastern Europe has revealed the frightening truth. This book presents those findings in the form of a story of what really happened so long ago.


Of course, if any of you want an advance review copy, I'd be delighted to let you have one, just send me your email address and what format is best for you.

I look forward to hearing from you!
