So excited to get my author copies of Clamour and Mischief!

Orders are open: Order in America or Australia

The anthology

Clamour and Mischief brings a veritable storytelling of crows to the corvidae, the bird family known for intelligence and cunning and for their connection with folklore and urban legends. These storytellers come from around the world and include award-winning and -shortlisted authors as well as emerging writers and fledgling authors in their professional debut.

This anthology’s sixteen striking stories are imbued with all the humour, darkness, wisdom, artfulness, vengefulness and magic of the birds that inspired them. Take them as a jest, a guide, or a warning – but don’t, whatever you do, ignore them!

My story

“Branwen and the Three Ravens”  is a retelling of the Grimm’s fairy tale “The Seven Ravens”: The creepy adventures of a woman attempting to free her brothers from a curse.

In those days, one could walk to the palace of the Sun. It lay at the last point of land before east became west and day became night. As a child, Branwen had read of the home of the Sun, with its open blue skies and green fields, its maze of a garden laid out in tangled rays, and a palace of bright white walls that had no ceiling.

The reality of it was somewhat different.

My story is called “Branwen and the Three Ravens,” a retelling of the Grimm’s fairy tale “The Seven Ravens”. The creepy adventures of a woman attempting to free her brothers from a curse.

If it was on Ao3, these would be the tags:

Fairy tales, curses, animal transformations, magic and feathers, ravens are tricksters, difficult family dynamics, courage, determination, creativity, cleverness, grief, loss, repentance, long journeys, the sun moon and stars are not benevolent, gardens, very creepy gardens, mountain made of glass, death, rebirth

This was such a wonderful project to work on! The whole anthology is fantastic.
