I love a classic tale retold in new an interesting ways. I also love the whisper of a story line that gives a romance I am reading hidden depths and really asks the reader to think about this love story and that one in a compelling way.

I just spent many days at Disneyland so I have folk tales and fairytales on the brain. 

I am a Disney nerd but mainly because I love the way people of all ages come to play at Disneyland and allow themselves to frolic in the stories being spun.

I saw lots of grown up Steampunk coolness because of the Mad T Party that is going on, Rockabilly hotness (this was strange but yummy), Minnie Mice sexpots, Pirates and then the childern dudded out in every way. 

I saw for the first time little princes all over the places as well as the tulle of little princesses. 

Good times. 

Anyway, I love the base beat of a fairy tale in my romance novels to mix up an old great song with a new melody.
