Curse of the Healing Kiss – Fantasy/Fairy-Tale – 2019
Inspired by French fairy tales of the 17th century, this novella brings emotional realism to a universal story of love, trust, and jealousy, in a fantasy kingdom where curses are all too real.
Amazing and suspenseful read for lovers of fantasy, allegory, and human psychology. Curse of the Healing Kiss gives you enough cloaks, princes, carriage rides, dramatic declarations, and curses to satisfy lovers of magic and fantasy, but unlike many centuries-old fairy tales, it is grounded in a very real psychological dialogue that the struggling lovers engage in with each other and themselves. It’s also filled with breathtaking turns of phrase that echo the poetry that plays such a major role in the plot.
