Fairy Tales

Fairy Tales For Busy People

Fairy tales were never about literal truth—they’re about patterns: hunger, fear, envy, luck, cruelty, rescue, bargaining, and the thin line between safety and danger. They assume power is uneven, logic is unreliable, and consequences can arrive out of nowhere—which, lately, feels less like fantasy and more like the news.

That’s why I started writing modern fairy tales: twists on familiar stories, compressed for busy people and tuned to the present. They’re small, sharp retellings that let the old shapes hold new realities—funny, bleak, and sometimes weirdly clarifying.
