Giving away 'Bedtime Stories for Grown Ups' for free

Hello folks,

I'm new to the community and like all good newcomers I brought a gift to the party. If you like short stories with a wry sense of humour then might I be so bold as to suggest taking a look at my contemporary fantasy collection which shakes up the fairy tale order. An honest review would be appreciated once you have read it and if you tell a few friends about it then all the better.

Thanks for reading and of course live happily ever after,

Cearúil

Blurb:
We all grew up with fairy tales; stories of daring deeds, uncovered mysteries and prophecies fulfilled, peopled by princes and princesses, abandoned basketed babies found wrapped in the petals of flowers and gingerbread men on the run from evil bakers. But why do we only ever hear the ancient tales? And what about the more ordinary souls of the magical realm? Where are the stories of the brave knight buying an affordable car, the young man who buries his feelings by the tree in the back garden, the grumpy ogre’s long-suffering clerk who yearns for a new job on her day off or the college student struggling to overcome the violent and vocal resistance of the blank, white walls of his new room? Tales of everyday magic have been in short supply but this collection of short stories makes heroes of the hitherto ignored men and women on the ground. So forget Goldilock, Sleeping Beauty and Rumplestiltskin and prepare to enter the real(ish), modern and still magical world of Bedtime Stories for Grown Ups.
