Blog Role: Supernatural Fairy Tales Blogazine

Supernatural Fairy Tales Blogazine requested a SurLaLune shout-out:

Supernatural Fairy Tales features fairy tale inspired paranormal short stories, articles, art, and book reviews. Starting in October, I will be adding, Silverweed, my YA novel inspired by Little Red Riding Hood. It will be serialized in its entirety, one chapter a month posted in two parts. (In December, the eBook will be available.)

And here is a blurb for the novel:

Once upon a time Granny was attacked by a werewolf. Eighteen years later her grandson, Aiden Young, arrives in Indiana for his aunt’s funeral, and his unfortunate discovery of the family secret leads to a fatal mistake. Before the weekend is over, he’s trapped by a blizzard along with his superstitious cousin, Diesel, and Scarlet, Diesel’s manipulative girlfriend. In his grandmother’s spooky, old house in the middle of the woods, the teen faces life and death decisions: who can be trusted, and who needs to be saved? However, he must first figure out what the true monster is… werewolf or fear. Because in this Little Red Riding Hood-inspired supernatural fairy tale, the roles of prey and predator become interchangeable.
