Cinderella’s Hearth is Closing

For many years, I wrote about home keeping and gardening for a small weekly paper, and I enjoyed it. So I decided to bring some of that experience to The Fairy Tale Magazine through Cinderella’s Hearth. It’s been great fun doing it, but I’ve always prided myself on knowing when to move on. I stick like super glue to relationships with people, but I need a lot of creative stimulation, and I’m ready for a new challenge. But first, shoutouts to Kelly Jarvis and Lissa Sloan for their frequent excellent contributions. Thank you, both, you fabulous friends and writers!

Starting early next year, I’ll be writing posts on fairy tales, folklore, myth, magic—the subjects we always write about here, but I’ll be engaging in research and falling down rabbit holes, I hope! I’ll be sharing what I discover here on the blog, and I may even dabble in creative nonfiction and delve into explicating folkloric rituals. I’ll hope you’ll enjoy the results.

For now, Cinderella, my favorite fairy tale heroine, is going to bank the fire in her hearth, blow out her candles in her kitchen, and roll off to new adventures in her glorious pumpkin carriage.

See you in the new year!
