Pump Up Your Book Guest Post with Rebecca Reid, Author of The Coop

The contemporary Fairytale

As children we all grew up wrapped in the world of the fairytale. Its magic was simple, encapsulating all who dipped into the opening paragraphs. Snow White, Cinderella, Hansel and Grettel; they were and still are the staple tales passed down from parent to child, but these tales are evolving.

Hollywood has embraced this genre and stripped it back to its roots. In today’s movies we see themes reminiscent of the fairytales darker beginnings, stories harking back to the days the Grimm brothers sought them out and captured them in time. These are not for children, there is no guarantee of happy ever after, no definite true love; they are gritty, disturbingly dark and more than ever, broaching on reality. Could it be that our contemporary take on the fairytale is dragging it kicking and screaming further into darkness?

The Three Lost Kids and the Death of The Sugar Fairy by Kimberly Kinrade Guest Post

Here is a wonderful post from Kimberly Kinrade:

Do you see the magic in the everyday moments?

As a fantasy writer, I create magic all the time. My characters dive into darkness, challenging monsters, overcoming fears, and mastering their powers.

But what about in real life? How does a writer of magic find the magic in something so benign as doing dishes? Escapism and the willing suspension of disbelief are wonderful tools to let us immerse ourselves in story. Staying in the present is the tool we need to immerse ourselves in our own magical lives.

**DISCLAIMER: This is not a novel suitable for younger readers, and if it were made into a movie, the rating would be somewhere nestled between PG-13 and NC17. There is a considerable bit of adult content in the second half of the book**
