Two Story Hearth standalones that stand apart from the Welsh mythology at the heart of the catalogue, and reveal something in the standing-apart.

To Catch a Dream — a contemporary romance with no magic, no folklore, no mythology. Caitlin is twenty-six, strong, and genuinely content with her life. Will makes that contentment feel like it might be missing something she hadn't noticed was absent. The question is entirely ordinary and entirely real. Is what you feel worth the risk of acting on it?

Cabbages & Kings — historical fiction set in 1198, told through Alana Dale's honest and clear-eyed account of the Robin Hood legend from inside the village rather than the greenwood. No magic. Just the cost of seeing clearly when the story everyone tells would prefer you didn't look too closely.

Both of them ask what the mythology asks, without the mythology to carry it. Both of them know that love costs something real.

Finally finished! Not a horrible book as a collection of semi continuous folklore tales go, if you can get through the old English and realizing words don't have the same meaning as they do today. How I think of worship is not what they meant at all, at all. And there are No Quotations to let you know who is saying what. Favorite phrase is "wonderfully wroth." Just don't forget: an can mean and, but,or if. But can mean and. And if can mean anything.
Just don't get lost in the confusion of pronouns.

An absurd collection of tabloid-style articles that marries folklore, fairytales, and nursery rhymes with the issues of everyday life. From Rumplestiltskin being indicted for the straw-to-gold scandal to the sibling drama of the three little pigs, with headlines such as “Game-Changing Name Change for Rumplestiltskin” and “Wolf Suing Pigs for Injuries Sustained” you’re sure to be entertained.

As a lifelong fan of classic fairytales, I found myself laughing out loud as beloved characters were used to mock and poke fun at real-world issues.

Good afternoon, wonderful people! Sorry I'm a little late today, but I did have a good reason; I promise!

Today's quote is a thought worth returning to every so often, because it's very easy to move quickly from one book to the next without giving any of them the time and space they deserve. Some stories really do need to be sat with for a while before they give up what they're actually about.

Have a Thoughtful Thursday. Take care and stay safe. 💙

If you're new to the Story Hearth catalogue and looking for a place to start, the newsletter is a good first step — and it comes with a free novella.

Disjointed Lives is a contemporary story about friendship, toxic relationships, and the way the past resurfaces when you least expect it. Quiet and emotionally honest, and completely free when you sign up.

The newsletter itself covers books, writing life, folklore research, and what's coming up — written like a letter rather than a marketing email.
