Hi there! My name's Maddy and I'm an aspiring author. I really enjoy reading modernised fairy tales, and retellings of classic stories, and I hope to write my own in the future. Fantasy stories are my go-to reads.

Say Cheese!
The diver flashed his camera at the strange creature, capturing an image of her waving a bony, clawed hand at him. Her blue hair floated out behind her like a flag gusting on a rather windy day.

I remember him.
He wasn’t a father to any of us – I don’t think he was even old enough to have a five-year-old child, but he supported and treated us in a way that a father would his own children.

What is a Father?
My family is close, and has always been. My parents have been married, happily I hope, for the last twenty five years. I’m the oldest of their three children.

Leave Me Alone
“NO!” She threw another item in his direction, a fork this time. The man ducked, narrowly missing it. “Look, your Highness, I’m here to return you home. You can leave this dreadful place!”

Sweet Melody.
It was the middle of the night. Still. Perfectly still. No birds tweeting, no breeze blowing. No rowdy drunks, wandering back from the tavern. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Stop, Thief
“STOP! THIEF!” Running through the heavy crowd, the boy turned to see three guards pursuing him. Though their height and long legs were obvious advantages for them, the boy was nimble and quick, and weaved between patrons with ease. His view was mainly of legs and skirts, and the occasional wheel as he dodged out of the way of a heavy-laden cart.

What is Distraction?
Distraction. It's a funny word, isn't it? Some people get confused (Not me though). They see things the wrong way, their mind wanders easily.

The Mermaid
The Mermaid A call, a Mermaid, and the claws of death. A voice called out from below. The man they sought, dressed in a simple white shirt and black trousers, leaned over the edge of the dock, and smiled widely. He reached down towards that voice.
