Readers will find four gender-bending fairytales that challenge conventional portrayals of love and heroism. The narratives are designed to engage both adults and children, featuring elements such as battles, monsters, and magic potions, while steering clear of typical tropes like weak female characters or flawless male figures.

Official synopsis Publisher
Growing up gay or lesbian is difficult enough, but having no literature which exemplifies this lifestyle sends a clear message to every gay little girl and boy that they should remain invisible. All fairytales scream heterosexuality. Just once, I’d love to see Cinderella bump into Snow White’s glass coffin on the way to the ball, give her that proverbial kiss and live happily ever after in lesbian bliss. This is the basis of my book Sticks and Stones. These are four gender bending fairytales affirming that all lives are sacred and all love is good. There is no preaching, no weak females waiting to be rescued by the handsome prince, and no two dimensional men without flaws. These are the gay community’s politically correct fairytales. Complete with battles, monsters and magic potions they will keep both adults and children waiting to see what happens next.
