Of Fairytales and Stories

I'm a writer, graphics designer, book reviewer, and student just trying to make my way in the world. Here you'll find inspiration for my stories, blog posts, and the occasional graphic that I've designed.

A Review of Coral and Bone

A Review of Coral and Bone

Superpowers and adventures, secrets and antiheroes; it sounds like I’m describing a comic book or a typical superhero movie. I’m not. I’m describing Tiffany Daune’s action and mermaid-filled novel, Coral and Bone. (more…)

"As if God had forgotten to put away His building blocks." My favorite quote so far from Coral and Bone by Tiffany Daune (@tiffanydaune)! I'm only twenty pages in and I'm loving it! #bookquote #quotes #quoteart #oftomes #tiffanydaune #coralandbone #quote

I was out doing errands and thought, "I need to get home." Somehow, I ended up at the beach instead. Which is the same thing, really. 🐬#beach #mainebeach #mainebeaches #beachday #beach🐠 #beachfun #maine #beachselfie

My new Wattpad profile picture. And yes, the time on the watch is wrong, but that's what happens when you take a picture and then realize your watch is broken. 😂

Less than a month to go until the first chapter of Glass Slippers is up! So excited! #fairytale #wattpad #wattpadbook #wattpadstory #retelling #cinderella #fairytalecommunity

So after doing some brainstorming with some Wattpad folks, this is an idea I had for Wattpad. A customizable series Option to make it easier for readers to find the next book in a series. Basically, it would be accessible both on these parts of the site and maybe once the "completed book" message comes up when a reader is done reading. Writers would be able to customize the message that comes with it (i.e. liked "fill in the blank book name"? Check out its sister novels/sequels!) and the books would be in list form in order of when readers should read them. I'm sure other people have thought of the same idea before, but I figured I'd try and visualize it. At least a little. #wattpad #wattpadidea #wattpadideas #wattpadseries #wattpadbook #wattpadstory
