Guest Post for “Myths Untold: Faery” with BA Tortuga

by
BA Tortuga

BA Tortuga hosts a great guest post for Myths Untold: Faery by Skye Hegyes – where she talks about going Beyond Faery: I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not really a fairy fan. I mean, I like them, but they were always my younger sister’s thing. Dragons were mine. Still, I’ve always wanted to write a Faery story. I just didn’t know I’d ever get a chance to do so with other great authors. When Scott asked me to join him, Gus and Brandon in writing this anthology, I was thrilled. That doesn’t mean I knew what I was doing. I had … Read more

Elizabeth Noble

Elizabeth Noble hosts a great guest post for Myths Untold: Faery by August Li – all about the cover evolution process: Hello everyone, and thanks for having me on the blog today. I’m happy to be here. My name is August (Gus) Li, and I’m here on behalf of my fellow authors J. Scott Coatsworth, Skye Hegyes, and Brandon Witt to talk about the cover art for our anthology, Myths Untold: Faery. One standard approach to choosing an image for a book cover is to represent one of the main characters. In an anthology containing four novellas, obviously I couldn’t do … Read more

A Great Review for Myths Untold: Faery from The Novel Approach!

by
The Novel Approach

Just in – a fantastic review from The Novel Approach: – here’s what they said about my story, “Through the Veil”: Author J. Scott Coatsworth closes out Myths Untold in a fantastic way with Through the Veil—and gave the other stories a tightly contested run for title of my favorite in the collection. In an alternate San Francisco of the future, a dystopia that lends the story its mythical atmosphere, Colton lives a hardscrabble life as a gondolier and occasional thief. He is a man of needs and contradictions who meets his fate on Alcatraz island in the form of Tris, a stranger from the … Read more

“Myths Untold: Faery” Stops By Sue Brown’s Blog

by
Sue Brown

Today, Sue Brown hosts another stop for Myths Untold: Faery – this time, Brandon Witt talks about exploring Faery: One of the reasons I jumped at the chance to be part of this Faery Anthology was for the opportunity to do something different. The idea of this book was two fold. Center around fairies and LGBTQ themes. When I was asked to take part, I wrote back quickly and asked, “Does that mean it doesn’t to be a romance?” The second they said that was exactly what it means, I said yes. I’ve grown to love romance, but I wanted … Read more

“Myths Untold: Faery” Stops By Andrew Q. Gordon’s Blog

by
Andrew Q. Gordon

Today, Andrew Q. Gordon hosts another stop for Myths Untold: Faery – this time, an interview with all the authors: TELL US SOMETHING UNIQUE ABOUT YOUR MAIN CHARACTER. Gus: Glyn has an eerie beauty. His eyes are violet, though he’s always been told they’re just blue but his blood vessels are near to the surface. Since he’s been a boy, people have always been uncomfortable around him. Brandon: Quay sees himself as damaged and worthless, yet prides himself in being strong–not letting anything get to him. There is nothing he won’t sacrifice for his younger brother. During the arc of … Read more

More Myths Untold: Faery Blog Tour Stops!

by
3 Chicks After Dark

The Three Chicks After Dark are hosting a stop on our blog tour today, and Skye talks about what’s on her playlist: I always hear authors talk about a specific playlist they listened to while writing. It’s both awesome and daunting. I see a list of ten to fifteen songs they listened to while writing their works, and I’m envious of such lists. Why? Because I’ve never had such lists… See the Full Post And over at Cia Nordwell’s blog, Cia interviews all four of us about the book: What was your first encounter with the Fair Folk—a story, a … Read more

Great Review for Myths Untold: Faery!

by
Anna Butler

Just got an amazing review from Anna Butler for our new anthology, Myths Untold: Faery: I’ve never grown out of my love for myth and faery stories. In their purest forms, they’re primeval, subversive, eldritch, enlightening, sinister, unsafe and ultimately unknowable. When I graduated up from Grimm, it was to Warner Townsend and Dunsany both of whom have moulded my views of what Faerie is, or may be: minutely detailed, threatening worlds with their cold, inhuman and amoral peoples. Get some of that into a modern day take of faery, and I will be satisfied. Four very different authors. Four very different … Read more

And the Myths Untold: Faery Blog Tour Gets Rolling

by

“Myths Untold: Faery” launched this morning, including my new story “Through the Veil“. And along with it, the blog tour is in full swing. 🙂 Over at Melanie Marshall’s Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words, all four authors are talking about how we write: How do you write – are you a plotter or pantser, or both? Skye Hegyes: I’m a bit of both. With short stories and some of the novellas I’ve worked on, I can take a vague idea and run with it, writing it without planning too much. That said, novels are another story. I recently tried pantsing a … Read more
