New Fairy Tale: Ada and the Oarsman

July 10, 2022 By lisa Leave a Comment

cover art for short story "Ada and the Oarsman"

This past weekend, I decided to pull another short story of mine out of the weary “drafts” folder and put it out into the world. It’s a mostly-proper fairy tale, the first I’ve ever attempted. Because of that, the intended audience is considerably younger than what I usually write for. But hey, if Neil Gaiman can do it, so can I. (Hopefully!)

Although this a digital download, I’m hoping it will also have a life in the physical realm one day. I have talked off and on with a friend of mine who does absolutely gorgeous illustrations, and with any luck, we will make some progress on that front soon. For now, though, please enjoy this little fairy tale in its very simplest form. More to come, perhaps.

Introducing: “Ada and the Oarsman”.

I can tell that this is a collection I will revisit frequently. My first read was more out of curiosity about the scope of the work, and while a few poems stood out on that first read, I know that there are others that ask me to come bac...

The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Captivating read It’s been a while since I devoured a book in less than a day, but I could not stop reading this once I had begun. I came to this book knowing very little about it, and I’m glad that’s how it was. Approaching this story ...
