I have a new book today! All right, it's a short story. Lesbian fairy tale ahoy!


Giants' Peak holds adventure and love that is anything but typical for Molly Whuppie...

When food supplies run low in their large family, Molly and her two older but less capable sisters are sent away by their parents, forced to fend for themselves. Molly soon realizes she must put her skills to the test in order to save them all, from starvation, from the sinister woods, and from the fierce giants and vengeful giantesses inhabiting Giants' Peak.

But an encounter with three beautiful giant sisters gives Molly hope that not only will she and her siblings survive, but she might also find unexpected love along the way...

Too late to be in the drawing, but I do want to suggest that if you don't already know about Peter Cashorali's Fairy Tales: Traditional Stories Retold for Gay Men (and its sequel), you really should pick it up. I'm a lesbian, so it didn't always work for me as far as some of the gay culture references, but it was interesting to see how Cashorali manipulated the stories and came out with, sometimes something grander. Also, they are very traditional, which I like. I have Grimms and a dozen folklore books from other cultures.

Since you are one of three who left a way to contact you, I'll be happy to send along a copy.

I hadn't encountered Cashorali. But I do like Zipes' Don't bet on the Prince

I really enjoy re-doing fairy tales, since I grew up on them.
