New Story in DSF

Check out my latest Fairy Tale retelling, The Frog Prince’s Reluctant Bride, at Daily Science Fiction.

"The Frog Prince" was never one of my favourite fairy tales. I understand that she needs to keep her word, but marry him? That seems an excessive trade for a ball (even for a golden ball.) In the original version of "Iron Henry", not only does the manservant get a name, he gets agency. The Princess gets none of this. That always irritated me. And so, during a Storied Imaginarium workshop, I was inspired to tell her side of the story.
