So happy to have an excerpt from WOMEN OF THE FAIRY TALE RESISTANCE in the Orange&Bee journal today!
It's November, and that means THIS is around the corner! I'll be going up to Alex VA for an event at Old Town Books on Sun 16th, 7pm. Hoping some of my NoVA friends can come! Miss you! And (wink-wink) this book would make a very cool holiday gift :)

This year, one of my favorite "conteuses", @christymarx.bsky.social, shared my blog for Women's History Month 2025. My new list of recs will be launched on 03/01/2026 and feature works by the likes of @kendareblake.bsky.social and @janeharrington.bsky.social. It's tricky choosing the right emojis♀️

Just read the book 2025 needs - Women of the Fairy Tale Resistance by Jane Harrington. Despite my love of fairy tales and studying children's literature for a while, I never knew the true origins of fairy tales in 17th century and the conteuses/female storytellers behind them.
