What's not to love? <br /><br />The Twelve Dancing Princesses is my favorite source for retellings. I have a document that contains twelve different ideas for retelling the fairy tale. (In the time since I made this post, I've even plotted out another one). It's got so many fascinating elements.

(I don't have the research skills to attempt straight historical fiction, but I might gather up the courage to try it someday.)<br /><br />And thanks for the compliment on "Out of the Tomb"! I'm so flattered that my story has gathered positive responses from people who aren't into sci-fi.Ashley Stanglhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00965253957750296989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129398931875244152.post-89564170359766711452017-02-21T19:02:32.382-06:002017-02-21T19:02:32.382-06:00I love The Twelve Dancing Princesses!

Though I write almost entirely straight historical fiction myself, I'm continually amazed by the variety that you fantasy writers come up with when you mix fantasy with historical settings.<br /><br />By the way, I read your story in <i>Five Magic Spindles</i> and thought it was terrific—and that's coming from someone whose tastes are usually as far removed from sci-fi as possible! :)Elisabeth Grace Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073159989691222645noreply@blogger.com
