Fairytales, myths and legends no matter how fantastic feed into our need to answer the questions and examine the fears that loom largest in our culture and psyche.

If we look at the original Grimm fairytales they tell us very different resolutions to the sweetened versions we know today. Cinderella cuts off her toes, little Red Riding Hood beds the wolf. We shouldn't pretend in our tales, that the savage and macabre don't exist. Or that our fears don't need to be confronted.

I've seen an opportunity to submit my fantasy novel to a programme associated with a publishing house. I'm not saying anything will come of it, but it means I've dropped my current WIP and am back to editing.

My little editing assistant is, as ever, by my side.
