Read My New Sci-Fi Fantasy Fairy Tale Retelling
April 19, 2022

Introducing A Tail of Two Worlds


I wrote a sci-fi fantasy retelling of The Little Mermaid for Fictionate.me‘s short story contest and now it's part of their anthology! Read it here.

The language of the merfolk was like the singing of whales, more felt as subtle vibrations in the sea than heard. -A Tail of Two Worlds

A choice made.


A chance encounter.


Doubts created.


Lyra thought she created her own happily-ever-after, but a year later, doubts are settling in. A rumor spurs her to revisit her past, until a chance encounter with a charming stranger complicates her choice. Must Lyra decide between land and sea?


Set in a sci-fi fantasy setting, A Tail of Two Worlds is a retelling of Han Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid.


If you like the story, please make sure to  it on the title page to help me with the contest and share this post. Thank you so much!
