If you’ve been around my Instagram lately, you already know my big announcement. This is something that has been in the works for a few months now, but I’m finally getting around to sharing it.
I’m taking part in my very first multi-author series!
To say that I’m excited is an understatement. I’ve always wondered about multi-author series and wanted to be a part of one, and the opportunity to partake in this particular series is just awesome.
About the Series
The Cornerstone Series is a collection of clean romances through Beyond the Bookery. These Christian, non-magical novellas are written by 16 different authors, and each one will feature a different fairytale. I am absolutely in love with the fact that we’ve got some of the traditional, favorite fairytales AS WELL as some more obscure ones and tales that you rarely see being retold. Fancy an Ugly Duckling story? A Wounded Lion retelling? Yeah, we’ve got it all. The books will begin releasing in October of this year and continue through next spring. I am seriously blessed to be working with this passel of amazing writers.
You can stalk more about this series on either its Goodreads page or the Amazon page.
Additionally, you may want to follow Beyond the Bookery on IG for more updates on the series as we draw closer to the release times.
About My Book
I’m super stoked to announce that my contribution to the Cornerstone Series is A Noble Match: A Thumbelina Retelling.
I can’t release too many details about my book yet, but I’ll be (Lord willing) talking about it more as we get closer to the release date. I chose Thumbelina as my retelling, and I’ve been enjoying twisting this fairytale up without magic. Thumbelina may not be as tall as a person’s thumb, but the swallow is now a main character! I would definitely classify this story as fantasy and not steampunk, but it’ll have a few elements of steampunk-ish-ness — like a flying suit.
A Noble Match: A Thumbelina Retelling is book #2 in the Cornerstone Series, and is scheduled to release on October 8, 2024. Mark your calendars!
Cornerstone Cover Reveals
I really wish I could brag more about all the different authors and fairytale retellings, but I’ll let you discover those on your own. Especially since we have cover reveals coming up!
YES! We are ready for covers! Are you??

Thank you!!! I’ll admit it’s been a challenge retelling Thumbelina without magic, but I’m loving it! I’m getting to explore so many of the original fairytale elements in new ways. Hopefully, it’ll still be recognizable as Thumbelina once I’m done! XD
