I had a lot of fun bringing these characters to life and attempting a Beauty and the Beast tale which didn’t end in romance—though maybe you can imagine a bit of romance in Belle’s later life Grin—but was a friendship story.
Of course, in my planned book it was supposed to be the gentleman who kept helping the children search for the magic, but when I went to write the story, it took on a new turn, and I enjoyed it this way much more.
I hope you liked this little tale and the liberties I took with a classic fairy tale.
The Author
Jack chases Dragons on a daily basis though has yet to decide if she wishes to slay the Dragons she finds or ride them. She wishes she had a library as big as the Beast’s, or Prince Adam, or whatever you wish to call him. She’s working on that goal currently, at the same time searching for a house with two stories so she can slide down the banister every morning on her way to breakfast.
As a general rule, Jack doesn’t write sad books, but she might have slipped in this area when she started to write about World War Two.
When she isn’t writing Jack is researching, which means she is reading. And when she isn’t reading, it might mean she’s sleeping, but probably means she’s eating. Especially if the food is cookies.
Currently, Jack is trying out the life of a Dwarf, even though she’s a Hobbit. She’s traveling about, looking for her home, and hoping the end of her search leads her to a cave with a Dragon who needs to be battled and enough Arkenstones to fill her dream library with books.
