The Fairy Stories Renaissance Series
Mirrors and Ashes:
A Snow White Retelling
Coming April 27, 2022
Fairy tales have been with us forever, since most of us were too small to remember a time when we did not know them. The stories of princesses, heroes, dragons, magic and everything that falls in-between carries different weight for each of us. Yet, what if what we thought we knew about these stories is not the real story? What if the princesses were commanders of their own fate? What if the Princes were more empathic? What if there were angles to the magic we never heard about? And what if there were relationships--outside of the Prince and Princess--that command the string of fate? The Fairy Stories Renaissance Series follow these tales as we uncover the strong princesses, the caring princes and the characters lost to the mists of time.
Of Gold, Salt and Steel:

“
You are truly an inspired author, and I count the days until we get a new piece.

The emotion your stories pack is absolutely tremendous... to create the overall mood ...marvelous, simply marvelous
“
Honestly, it’s too far low in number the amount of these kind of stories there are. I really love your portrayal of their relationship and a few of your chapters had brought me to tears because of how impactful they were and how much you nailed their characters in the small scenarios you created.
You add so many little details, fleshing out not only the relationship but the...society as a whole. Is it any wonder why I count you as my primary inspiration...

I will NOT cry...I will NOT cry...I will not...
Okay...
I cried...

Meet the Fantasy Therapist
"We are more than the sum of our parts." That is how I look at a novel--it is more than just words and sentences but is rather the emotion, the meaning, the connection behind it. These are friends and family we have yet to meet and its their journey we are getting to join. It's their growth we're getting to experience. It's their adventure that becomes our adventure...together.
I'm Cat Bowser, a licensed therapist and fantasy writer. All my life, I have been fascinated by fantasy, by world not our own and all the little elements that create those worlds. The impact of relationships, culture, religion and all the other aspects we encounter. It's these factors I pour into my stories and I hope you can lose yourselves in the world I build as much as I have.
