Mirrors have always fascinated me. When we look at our reflection, what do we see? No wonder they’re often used in magic. No wonder a wicked queen used a magic mirror in a fairy tale. What exactly did she see, when she looked at her reflection? What was the true meaning of the question, “Who is the fairest of them all?” How much beauty is actually reflected? How much is in the eye of the beholder?
These questions will face the heroine of ‘Fairest’, as she tries to escape a curse laid upon her, soon after she was born. Even as she tries to escape, she finds herself more and more captivated by the one who cursed her. Escaping becomes less important than saving her enemy from herself.
Look for ‘Fairest’ in Prizm’s anthology, ‘Rainbows Come in All Colors’. May you all find magic in its words!
