Author Description

What happens when a closeted lesbian fairy tale princess falls in love with a witch instead of the handsome prince she's destined to marry? This is Mary Melancholy's story. The rules of being a fairy tale princess are simple: 1. Always overdress. 2. Always play to win. 3. Share with those less fortunate. 4. Stay true to yourself. 5. And for heaven's sake NEVER fall in love with a WITCH! Princess Mary Melancholy has no idea how to be happy. Self-conscious and socially awkward, all she really wants is to believe in something the way everyone else does. Her royal troubles abound since she's engaged to be married as part of a peace treaty between two warring kings and has a weird habit of singing out in public. Mary meets a witch named Salem who is cantankerous, bawdy, and banned from the land because of her evil intentions. But when Salem accidentally kisses the princess and they both feel a spark of attraction, a forbidden romance begins that threatens the future of two kingdoms. Will Mary choose love and scandalize the family as The Evil Princess or accept responsibility and protect her people? This self-contained story is a fractured fairy tale and tragic parody, with socially awkward characters, and an emotional roller coaster of an ending. If you like dark comedy novels, horror-fantasy, and fairy tale political satire, The Evil Princess will cast a spell on you! ADVISORY: Although a comedy novel, The End of the Magical Kingdom also contains graphic violence, harsh scenes of emotional trauma, and controversial subject matter.
