I have never thought of using Fairy Tales as inspiration for my own writing but I loved them as a child and they have stood the test of time over generations of children. What better foundation than that could anyone choose, and we all need a sprinkling of magic fairy dust in out lives. I shall look forward to reading the Snow Queen - lovely title and intriguing blurb. <br />Thank you Rosemary for introducing us to Lindsay.Gwen Kirkwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201272628774727921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278356786329973174.post-44779752832994188302012-02-09T07:38:39.288-08:002012-02-09T07:38:39.288-08:00Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite fairy t...Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite fairy tales.

I took the idea of Sleeping Beauty and added, 'What if the princess doesn't wake when she's kissed?' and moved on from that.<br /><br />Jane - I agree about Angela Carter - I loved her 'Company of Wloves'. (Glad you like my title, too!)<br /><br />Gilli - I think all story-tellers (which you and I and other authors are) use fairy tales, or the fairy tale structure. Thanks for calling me an expert! I certainly don't feel to be.<br /><br />Margaret - I agree about faery and paranormal being natural 'fits' - both dark, magical genres.
