"I was his prey, and he was my Bluebeard" This is a correlation of shorts stories based on the Character Bluebeard from a very old folktale. The story has been around for centuries, but it was first written by Charles Perrault in 1697. I will sometimes make references to the original story within my short stories, but the stories themselves are my own. Each story will be a different genre, and Bluebeard will not always be the bad guy. All Rights Reserved.

He arrived in the middle of the night, banging on their door in the midst of a raging storm. "I'll take her," he said.

Written specially for the WP LGBTQ+ "Once upon a time" contest! "Hi. My name is...hmm. I can't give that away yet. I can however tell you that I'm in the tale I am about to tell you. Maybe I have a tail and maybe I have beautiful eyes the likes you have never seen. It doesn't matter. I have a story. You see sometimes, they tell you things the way they see them. I am about to tell you the REAL story. Buckle up. First of all, his beard wasn't blue...yet".

Tessa James knew that when Mr. Vale, the village's most feared man, came to town it was to collect a new bride. This time, Mr. Vale has his eyes set on Tessa who goes only to protect her younger sister. Tessa enters a world full of wealth and grace and she makes new friends at the castle- especially one servant boy named Gabriel. When Mr. Vale has a business trip to attend for the weekend, he leaves Tessa alone with a set of keys telling her that she can explore every room but one.

Another realm exists just beneath the skin of our mundane one and children's stories and nursery rhymes hint at hideous creatures who prey on humans. In that world, true love can be both your greatest strength and your greatest weakness. Violet Fitcher is Bluebeard's eternally-sixteen ex-spouse and the mother of his child. They're also the leader of a team of undercover fairytale cops from all corners of the mythical world that hunt the monsters out of children's bedtime stories. They're on the prowl to take out Bluebeard once and for all, and they've finally got him pinned down in Arizona, where a string of murdered teenage girls have been found in pieces in the desert. Then Violet meets Nick Arai, a senior at the local high school where Violet and their team have gone undercover to ferret out Bluebeard's contacts. Nick is sweet and gentle, and he's wonderful with Violet's son. A regular Prince Charming. Unfortunately Violet is a living fairytale and true love is a curse their kind can't escape. Against their better judgment, they find themselves falling for Nick. But they still have a mission and a homicidal ex-husband who won't hesitate to eliminate anyone he views as a threat to their "love." When evidence suggests that Bluebeard isn't the real killer, Violet and Nick have to deal with a threat on two fronts: on one side, Bluebeard wants Violet back and Nick dead; on the other, a centuries-old evil known as the Deathlysser has targeted Nick and his family, who are more connected to the fairytale world than either of them ever suspected.

Prince Charming is dead. Everybody is doubting everybody. How could the most dashing and protected royalty fall victim to murder? It's down to P.I. Beauty née Belle to solve this web of lies and hidden evidence. Who is friend, who is foe?

Fifteen-year-old Anne tends goats while daydreaming of fairy tales-until the day she finds herself in one. When a wealthy nobleman marries her older sister, they're both swept off to his castle deep in the woods. Upon entering this world of finery, lush gardens, and nightly balls with dashing suitors, Anne believes her own happily-ever-after is just around the corner. She has almost forgotten the rumors surrounding the estate-tales of the castle's tragic history and whispers of ghosts-when her sister falls mysteriously ill. To save her, Anne must uncover the shadowy pasts of those who share her new home. Her sister's husband refuses to speak of the disappearance of his last wife (or possibly wives), the domineering housekeeper hides her own secrets in a forbidden garden, and the handsome, enigmatic gardener urges Anne to escape the castle and leave her sister behind. There are signs, too, that something dark and supernatural haunts the estate. If Anne misplaces her trust or fails to discover where the real danger lies, she'll forfeit her sister's life-and her own. Told through the diaries and letters of those who live within the castle, this reimagining of the Bluebeard fairy tale is perfect for fans of Crimson Peak, Erin A. Craig's House of Salt and Sorrows, Lyndall Clipstone's Lakesedge, or classic Gothic horror. Note: this is only a sample of the full novel.

My parents hoped I was born like my sister, gifted with white magic. Me? I was cursed. Well, breaking out with scales could only be a curse, right? I'm not even sure if I am human or a monster. This curse was a means to save my life when I was an infant. Yet, I often feel it has been a lifetime punishment for being born. Sometimes I can't help but think it would've been better if my father hadn't tried to save me... I wouldn't be spending my life looking like a freak. I want to be normal. Instead, I have to hide my curse--hide in my room and watch other people live normal lives from outside my window. If I do go out, I can feel the stares from people, always watching me and when I walk by, they shove their children into their houses as if my curse is contagious. I wish I could just leave... be a hermit living in the forest somewhere. My sister and I used to be close. I avoid her most of the time. She's always trying to make me feel normal and instead, I just get annoyed. Then she went missing. She and father are the only ones who see past my curse. I am worried about her and I miss her. I have to find her and tell her that I'm sorry for being rude. I regret that I didn't spend as much time with her and if anything has happened to her... I'd hate myself even more. Maybe I am a monster...

An original twist on the fairytale of Bluebeard written by Chloe Innes.

Marie-Fey is married to a ghost. At least she might as well be for all she's seen of the man she married two years before. Far from home in a foreign land of endless sand and rich oasis, in a palace filled with women she won't connect with, all she wants to do is go home and stay there. Her monotonous life changes however after an incident that shakes the palace to the core. With everyone under investigation, Marie-Fey's husband is spurred into action. But rather than coming himself, he sends his younger brother. Lord Zaydan is not who Marie-Fey wants, but she's stuck with him as they look into the dangers that are creeping into the palace, one after another, threatening Marie-Fey at each turn. And all the while, an old and dark secret is lurking in the darkness, waiting for another victim. ~~~~~~ Cover art: Promotional Poster for The Magicians Uncollected Fairytale Series: Order: The Rose Quartet Steel Roses Sleeping Roses Painted Roses Red Roses The Dancing Series: Dancing on Glass Dancing on Ice Dancing on Strings The Kingdom Series Kingdom in The Sand TBA TBA
