A much-needed, creative, and captivatingly different take on fairy tales. Ever since she escaped the tower she was trapped in, Rumaysa has been searching for her parents. Rumaysa is back in this sequel to Rumaysa: A Fairytale (2023), this time with a spin on the classic fairy tale “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.” The purple onyx necklace gifted to her by her friend Sulieman takes her to “enchanted lands and troubled people,” those who are most in need.

Whenever I’m considering point of view in my writing, I remember a moment of play with some young cousins at a big family dinner. They had constructed a play restaurant in the next room complete with kitchen, dining table, scribbled menus, and eldritch decor. They invited me to dine. (Crafting Animal Characters Like an Expert.) “What part shall I play,” I asked. “You be the waiter,” they said, so I headed for the pretend kitchen. “Nooooo!” Great wails of disdain from my young restaurateurs.
