Fairy Tales for Modern Queers

by Emily Reed

Overview

Gay teenager Hart could finish his fairy tale for class if his horrible stepsiblings would stop harassing him. Talia's depression is like a sleeping curse and may kill her if she doesn't ask for help. Independent, overweight bisexual Sienna deals with her "nice guy" neighbor while visiting her grandmother. When a mysterious girl climbs up Rachael's fire escape, Rachael might finally break free from her overprotective mother. Transgender Amelia is bullied regularly for her identity, but she'll show everyone exactly who she is. Princess Rellyn must face down a dragon since she's seventh in line and battle her father since she's not a boy, and she's not sure which one is scarier. An adventurous knight whisks away genderfluid Noll when all they want is a quiet life on their farm. Mermaid Astrid wants revenge on the man who betrayed her, but is confused by her attraction to the one sailor immune to her song. Asexual Myka might love Princess Lysandria, but Myka must learn to control her inner werewolf before the king marries her off to "cure" her. With the help of a witch, blacksmith's apprentice Malcolm must find his missing prince.

You've never heard stories like these at bedtime.

About the Author

Emily Reed has been training as a certified Cat Lady for twenty-two years, which is incidentally how old she is. She graduated from Agnes Scott College with the Foxes (class of 2014) and a B.A. in English Literature/Creative Writing. She knows two dead languages and enjoys video games, knitting, and electric blue eyeliner. Her favorite thing to write is young adult queer fantasy, but she writes poetry and nonfiction on the side. Her ideal Saturday includes playing with dogs and going to the aquarium before settling down with a bottle of wine and Netflix. She would like to remind you all that gender is fuzzy and her answer to "are you a boy or girl" is "yes." Reed hails from Atlanta, Georgia, and believes that any city without a Waffle House is sorely missing out. Hash browns, y'all. She can often be found reading at events around Decatur, where it's greater, or visiting her alma mater, but if you want to contact her directly, she has an author page on Facebook now. She regrets to inform you that her application for a Bat-Signal has been denied, so this is the best way to reach her (and her four cats). Tumblr: http://ereedya.tumblr.com
