A long time ago
in a faraway land
there lived a woman
who was allergic to dust.
Her name was Cinderella
Funny Fairytales are a twist on the old beloved Grimm and Disney Fairy Tales. They are fun short stories people can read in a couple of minutes when waiting for the bus or on a train ride. Work just like an app, with story plot changes, new adventurous characters, mysteries and danger.
Funny Fairy Tales 1 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
The new Snow White, with the vicious queen Anagrola, the confused and sarcastic mirror Shraga, and the most gifted seven men you've ever met.
The traditional tale, with a new development - snow white is not pretty, but smart, the mirror, Shraga has a hate-hate relationship with the jealous queen, and the dwarfs are each craft masters.
Funny Fairy Tales 2 – Cinderella
The new Cinderella, with the mysterious blue fairy godmother, the cunning step-sisters, and a woman, who for the life of her, just can't stop cleaning!
The traditional tale, with a new development - a new young fairy godmother, cinderella as a neat freak allergic to dust and with step-sisters who are good and desire to save her.
Funny Fairy Tales 3 - Red Riding Hood
The new Red Riding, with the hood that leads to fame and fortune, the mysterious wild wolf, and a grandmother so evil, she could rewrite the history of sin. Red’s not little anymore!
The traditional tale, with a new development - the grandmother is exceptionally vicious and the wolf very wise, red riding hood is a young curious and passionate woman exploring the life of fame, and the topic of false accusation is strong in the book.

What is
the hardest part of writing your books?
I think the fact that this type of book has never been done before, so I have to sort out a lot of technical and style aspects. They are really a new type of book. It works like an app and feels like someone is telling you a story. They are also a very quick read, a bit like a snack, something fun you read on the plane or waiting for the train.

What
songs are most played on your Ipod?
Let it
Go from Frozen and Can't Stop this Feeling by REO Speedwagon. Maybe there's a
connection, but I love them in different ways. They are both very happy songs.
Do you
have critique partners or beta readers?
Yes, I
have one beta reader who is great at giving honest advice at what needs to be
tweaked for the story to work better.
What
book are you reading now?
I'm
currently reading the Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion, which is really funny. I
get inspired by reading humorous stories.
How did
you start your writing career?
I
actually started by babysitting a friend's kid, and telling her the story of
Snow White. Only, when I started I thought how much more exciting it would be
to make it about talent and not beauty, so Snow White was ugly and smart and
the dwarfs had each an expert profession. I then came home one night and wrote
a funny adult version to a friend and that's how Funny Fairy Tales got started.
I can now confirm that Funny Fairy Tales 4 - Hansel and Gretel is out on Kindle, iBooks and Nook, and that Funny Fairy Tales 5 - Rapunzel is in editing. I love how Hansel and Gretel came out. They have to go out into the woods alone to save…. their little brother Charlie, who is addicted to chocolate! They are in way over their heads.
