Ready to leave the past behind him, Leo wants nothing more than to reconnect with his first and only love. Leo Grady knew mirages were a thing in the desert, but they’d barely left civilization when the silhouette of his greatest regret comes into focus in the flickering light of the campfire. Frankly, Lily would like to take him out into the wilderness-and leave him there. It pays the bills but doesn’t leave enough to fulfill her dream of buying back the beloved ranch her father sold years ago, and definitely not enough to deal with the sight of the man she once loved walking back into her life with a motley crew of friends ready to hit the trails. But Lily is nothing if not resourceful, and now uses Duke’s coveted hand-drawn maps to guide tourists on fake treasure hunts through the red rock canyons of Utah. Growing up the daughter of notorious treasure hunter and absentee father Duke Wilder left Lily without much patience for the profession…or much money in the bank.

I love that your first two novels retell the stories of Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast. I’m a sucker for a happy ending, so even though I change and adapt fairy tales to become completely different stories, mine usually end with some sort of happy ending as well. I also love happy endings, and fairy tales are very often full of them (though not always!). They’re full of truth (like ugly isn’t always evil, and beautiful isn’t always good). They’re loved because they resonate with us. What is it about fairy tales that makes you want to incorporate them in to your writing? Today, Dorian joins us here on The Book Rat to talk about what got her into fairy tale writing, what mashups she's currently working on, and setting Beauty & the Beast in feudal Japan!

Yesterday over on A Backwards Story, Bonnie hosted a guest post called " Who's the Fairest of Them All," from author Dorian Tsukioka. Another aspect to highlight in this book is how the author develops the transition of feelings. In addition, the drawings give the impression of being colored by hand. The images have colors of the eye of the child. The illustrations are made on a white background which highlights each aspect of the drawing. In its cover we can see a great heart die-cut, with the edges in different colors and that decreases in size as we explore each of the feelings. One of the aspects that attracts the book is its physical aspect. This is a great book that can be used as a support for the child's socio-emotional development. The language used is simple, lyrical and demonstrative, which is expressed through short paragraphs. The storyline is about a little girl who talks about different types of feelings and how she perceives and expresses them. I like it because it is a book that allows the reader to see himself through feelings. Why can't i just LIKE stuff? it didn't used to be this hard to just.
