Wickedly Ever After: An Anthology of Retold Tales
About this ebook
Villains are the heroines and heroes of their stories and in this anthology they are going to be the leading players–and finally find love. In these 10 stories you will find villains from fairy tale, folklore and myth. From the familiar to the fantastic. From Hades to Grendel.
You’ll meet:
A man who gets more than he expected by binding himself to a selkie,
A woman who discovers the loveable Beast in the young man she once knew,
A mermaid who is not meant to be with a prince,
A witch who has so much more to offer than a cabin made of sweets,
A singer who has promised something she cannot deliver and gets help from an unexpected source,
And more. If you’ve ever rooted for a witch, an evil fairy or a wolf, this anthology is for you.

Barbra Campbell writes fast and hot contemporary romance/erotic romance as an escape from the regular world.

Life happened. New paths were taken, and she’s finally escaped most of the rat race to dream up sexy fantasy worlds where the characters are guaranteed a Happily Ever After, or at least a Happy For Now.

After a mid-life crisis and failing out of college at the age of 20, Sara Marks decided to live the life she wanted, not the one expected of her. Now a librarian with two master’s degrees, she plans to never stop getting over educated. She started writing as part of the National Novel Writing Month program over 15 years ago. She likes to write women who are like her: feminists who learn to live their life their way; rarely worrying about their age, weight, marriageability, or fertility. They fail and find second, third, and (sometimes) fourth chances to correct their mistakes. Sara’s a hopeless romantic who is unlucky in love. She cries at nearly every movie she sees (ask her about when she cried at a horror movie), but it’s full-on weeping for Disney animated movies. She loves reading across genres but likes to write women’s fiction, romance, and horror. She believes you have to find a balance with the reality of the world if you’re going to be a hopeless romantic! You can find more about her works at www.saramarks.net.
