Rian Johnson recommended Fanny and Alexander (1982) in Movies (curated)

"Existential angst, black-and-white landscapes that feel cut out of slate and bone, quivering ruminations on mortality, and symbolic self-reflexive experimentation in film form-that’s all very masterful and inspiring and well and good, but I didn’t fall in love with Bergman until I discovered (via this box set) Fanny and Alexander. A rich adult fairy tale about how we use storytelling in our lives, not for pleasure alone."

An interesting take on fairy tales!
I kept seeing this series being recommended, and I eventually managed to convince my husband to buy it for me for Christmas. I'm glad he did - I loved it!
The Adversary has forced the Fairy Tales out of their homelands and those who have survived now live in New York. They have their own government, and they are hiding from the general population in plain sight.
We join the Big Bad Wolf (who looks human - of course) as he investigates the murder of Rose Red. Other fairytale characters are featured during the course of Wolf's investigation: Snow White, Prince Charming (who is a sleaze ball!), Jack and loads of other characters. I can see the basis of the other comics emerging in this first one, and I really liked the bits at the end: short cartoons and stories about the battles with the Adversary and the Fairytales' escapes. Really good stuff!!

Something new is being written, and I wanted to introduce it here first. 😁

Only in Fairy Tales is a contemporary romance set in Monmouth, a small Welsh border town where the castle ruins are free to enter, the river runs past a medieval gatehouse, and history sits in the stone of everything. A story about a woman who has quietly, without drama or bitterness, stopped expecting love. A man who, from the moment he sees her, pays attention in a way that doesn’t leave him much choice about where it leads.

It's a slow-burning story; a patient one. Set against Welsh border landscapes, old stones, and the particular atmosphere of a place that knows what it is.

I started writing it this week. I'll be sharing the journey here as it unfolds; the setting, the characters, the world of the book, without spoilers, but with enough to give you a feel for what's coming.

Only in Fairy Tales — 2026.

Do you believe that the kind of love which truly sees a person belongs only in fairy tales? 💔

My upcoming contemporary romance, Only in Fairy Tales, follows Nia (53) and Gareth (57) as they cross paths at Monmouth Castle. It is a story about realising it is never too late for a second chance at love.

✨ What to expect:
Later-in-life romance (Ages 53 & 57)
Slow-burn & emotional depth
Fade-to-black / sweet romance
Set against the beautiful history of Wales
Features a realistic, relatable perimenopausal protagonist
The book launches on December 9, and I am currently building my ARC team! 🗓️

Digital copies (ePub/PDF) go out in late September / early October, with reviews due around launch day.

If you love tender, mature romance and want to read early, I would be so incredibly grateful for your support. 💙
