Monique Singleton Interview

1) What fairytale(s) have you chosen to retell and why?

Snow White And the seven dwarfs. I always liked that one.

2) What makes your story unique?

It has become a funny revers-harem story where Snow is a bad-ass sexually prolific princess, the wolves are vegan, the stepmother is a doll and the prince is gay. There were so many options I really had to reign myself in to make sure that I didn’t include every single fairy tale character into the one story. I had a blast writing it.

3) What was your favorite fairytale growing up and why?

Cinderella, because she wins in the end, despite all the issues she has to go through, and I like the idea of a fairy godmother.

4) Who was your favorite villain?

The Beast in Beauty and the Beast. I like the big surly types.

5) Is this a standalone or do you have more books planned?

This is a standalone in the fairy tale retellings. I generally write dark Urban Fantasy. Though I really did have a lot of fun writing this story, so you never know. I just might have the fairy-tale bug now.
I liked combining the fairy tale with shapeshifters; my usual genre. It was also a lot of fun to do a humorous story instead of my usual dark fantasy.
