Book Description

From the creator of NBC's hit series, GRIMM, Stephen Carpenter presents his original novel, THE GRIMM CURSE (Once Upon A Time is Now).

Fifteen year-old Jake Grimm is the last living descendent of the Brothers Grimm, who wrote the famous fairy tales in the 1800's. But Jake grew up never knowing his true destiny until he ran away from his unhappy foster home, to the place of his birth--Woodland--a small town nestled deep in a Northwestern forest.

In Woodland, Jake discovers that the fairy tales are real, and they are happening today. And Jake, as the last living Grimm, is the only one who can stop the witches, big bad wolves, and evil stepmothers who are all alive and well, and about to wreak havoc in the small town of Woodland.

Because once upon a time is now.

THE WOODCUTTER by Kate Danley




Garcia Award Best Fiction Book of the Year
1st Place Fantasy - Reader Views Reviewers Choice Awards
Winner - Sci-fi/Fantasy Category Indie Book Awards

Description:

"Cinderella is dead and one of Odin's hellhounds has gone rogue. The Woodcutter, protector of peace between Man and Fae, is charged with finding the beast and returning him to the Wild Hunt.

Unfortunately, the forces of evil have other plans.

Leaving the comforts of his quiet home, he finds a pixie dust trade raging out of control and a power hungry Queen who will stop at nothing to take over the world.   The lives of Snow White, Rapunzel, and Little Red Riding Hood are at stake in this dark fairytale.  It is a race against time as the Woodcutter travels east of the sun and west of the moon, up beanstalks and down to the bowels of the earth to unravel a mystery that can only be described as Grimm."

NFE Note:  Beloved and Feared characters of the Grimm tradition, re-imagined in a mature, noir-style mystery.  Very imaginitive, fun read.  If you enjoy, or even sort-of-almost-like TV's "Once Upon or Time," you'll really like this because it's much better, and more "grown-up."
