I'm sorry this post was delayed for so long. After all the intense blogging due to the event, back-to-back blog tours, and work/daily life, Misty and I took a little break. Plus, this post was DAUNTING! It eats time for breakfast and STILL wants a snack...
Want EVEN MORE fairy tales? Most Thursdays, I run a feature entitled "A Twist in the Tail" for all things mythological, as well as fairy tales, mermaids, classic retellings, etc.

GIVEAWAY WINNERS:
Those of you who have read my giveaway policy already know that winners are contacted via email and not announced on the blog, but for the sake of FTF, here's a brief list of winners!
If you find yourself listed below, please let us know in the comments or by email if you no longer want your prize winnings, so we can find a new home for your prize. One that will give the book the attention that it deserves; take it for walks, let it play with other books. Maybe have children in the home to play with it and keep it company... ;) [But seriously. If for whatever reason you no longer want your prize, let us know ASAP!] If you're not sure if you're the one listed (some of you have same/similar names!), ask us and we'll clarify. Congrats!!!!
