Hi! I’m Brittany Fichter, and I currently hail from the kingdom of northern Utah (where the Air Force has placed us for the time being). I’m a military wife, homeschool mom, lifelong nerd, arts and crafts geek, history buff, fantasy writer, drinker of coffee-flavored creamer, and conservative Christian.

Giveaway 1: Princess of the Silent Moor
A Novella Retelling of Finola and the Dwarf
A mysterious young woman held captive on a silent moor.
Her captors plotting revenge.
The unlikeliest hero determined to save her.
When the king of Eridan decided to eradicate the Ruby Witches from the land, he knew it would be difficult. But he had no idea the crushing form their revenge would take. And though he does his best to prepare for their retribution, he knows it may never be enough.
Angered by the king’s attempt, the witches spread their malice all over the land, taking a young woman captive and preparing her for the cruelest of fates. Her only hope of rescue lies in a poor, mute man who is unable to even save himself.
But the king’s efforts weren’t all in vain. There may be hope yet if this unlikely hero can find the courage to do the impossible–and sacrifice as none have before to save the princess of the silent moor.

I was somewhat mystified by this tale when I was little. It was unusually gruesome, but there was so much backstory that I knew wasn’t explained in my fairy tale book. And as no one has stepped forward to give me more, I decided to fill it in myself. This is the first time I’ve made this story free! But it’s only free for a little while, so make sure to download it now!
Event 2: An Announcement and a Vote!
Remember when I gave a teaser about a company that I had hired to do work that just wasn’t up to scratch?
Well, that work was designing special edition hardcovers for my Before Beauty Trilogy Kickstarter! Only… the work just wasn’t up to standard.
So instead of delaying the project to find a new designer that might take months to finish the same project… I took a risk and designed the books myself.
AND I LOVE HOW THEY TURNED OUT!!!
I don’t have the physical copies yet, as I’m waiting for some of my commissioned art to come in, but guys… there’s so much COLOR!
Speaking of custom art, I hired the amazingly talented Jenelle Hovde to create custom art for the endpapers for each book, and this… this is what she came up with for Before Beauty!!!
AREN’T EVER AND ISA GORGEOUS?!
And there’s going to be two more images just as gorgeous!!!
*Happy sigh*
I’m ALSO using this spot to announce my upcoming BRAND-NEW Ever and Isa novella, Beloved Beauty: A Novella Retelling of The Steadfast Tin Soldier! This one won’t be released as a special edition, but it WILL include the early release of the paperback for the Kickstarter, so you’ll be able to get it with the special editions!!!
Unfortunately, I’m not able to do worldwide shipping right now for all of the books in the Kickstarter, BUT unlike last time, I’ll have the special editions available for international shipping for a few new countries as well! And the digital goods will be available everywhere.
If these are stories you’d love to have on your shelf, make sure to follow my campaign here!
In the meantime, I have a poll for you! I have to decide which stretch goals to include if we go above and beyond our first funding goal! And I need your help! If you were to be a part of this Kickstarter, what stretch goals would you like to see?
Loading ...
Have another stretch goal idea you'd like to see what wasn't here? Put it in a comment, and I'll take it into consideration!Giveaway 2: Silent Mermaid
A Retelling of The Little Mermaid
How does a silent mermaid win a war of song?
How does she break the siren song of the one holding her beloved captive?
After being touched by the sun at birth, Princess Arianna has grown up imprisoned between two worlds, neither fully mermaid nor fully human. Her life is one of solitude and dreams. But when she loses her family and her kingdom in a war between man and merfolk, she is forced to flee into the arms of the enemy. Her only hope of protection lies in the penniless prince that she once saved and his two boisterous nieces.
Prince Michael is at his wit’s end. After the great maritime war, he must clean up the pieces of neglect, folly, and evil that his grandfather has left behind. With his people starving and his treasury nearly empty, the familiar girl from the past that falls piteously at his feet cannot be afforded his attention. He has only the resources and time for the barest of good deeds to pay back that which she gave him. But the more Michael begins to hear the girl beneath her silence, the more he realizes she just might be the distraction he cannot survive without.
All the while, darkness is beginning to poison the ocean, and an evil foreseen by neither Arianna nor Michael threatens the very existence of both peoples. If they wish to restore their kingdoms, Arianna and Michael will need to reassess their alliances, their beliefs, and an ancient prophecy that’s been all but forgotten. Most importantly, however, they must decide whether they can move past their personal pain and trust one another. Because if they can’t, everything and everyone they love will fall.
Silent Mermaid is fifth in the Classical Kingdoms Collection but can be read as a stand-alone. Buy Silent Mermaid to escape into the world of the Classical Kingdoms Collection with clean, passionate romance, magical mystery, and heroic happily-ever-afters.
Event 3: Quest for a Coloring Sheet
If you were at the party last year, you might remember that I shared how I was going to run a Kickstarter for my first middle-grade fantasy novel as a gift for my son. He really wanted to get into bigger fantasy books, but they were just hard enough that he was feeling frustrated.
As a homeschool mom and a teacher, the last thing I wanted was for my son to give up on fantasy just because he needed a little help stepping into such fantastical worlds. I’ve also run into the problem of finding so many fantasy books for children that contain content that, as a Christian, I am not okay with my kids being exposed to in their literature.
So I decided to write a book just for him. But it really wasn’t just for him. It was for all the little (and big) fantasy readers who need a fun, safe, magical adventure. Which is how Quest for a King was born.
This epic dragon fantasy quest is an adventure that the whole family can embark on–an adventure that’s safe for all readers, from young to old. And though it’s not technically a traditional fairy tale retelling, it is a tale with fae, so I mean… it is technically a faerie tale.
Teaching our children not just to read but to be readers is more important than ever. And just as important is giving them quality literature that emphasizes godly character traits such as strength, courage, kindness, humility, and self-sacrifice. In a world as dark as ours, they need hope and light.
A dash of humor doesn’t hurt, either.
In case you were curious as to how it turned out, I want to show you the final version of the book–the ultimate hardcover special edition. It really took my breath away, and I’m SO grateful for the chance to create something like this for my kids.
If this sounds like a story you or your kiddo might love, you can find the books and/or merch here. The paperback and corresponding parent / teacher guide are available on Amazon, but you can also order a signed and stamped copy , and I even have some special editions and book boxes (a limited supply) available as well!
And as my kids are obsessed with audiobooks, I even have it available in audio here!
So why am I sharing this? After all, it’s not a traditional fairy tale (though it IS a tale, and it does have fae). Aside from trying to give you another safe reading option for your young reader (or for you, if you’re looking for a quick adventure), I’m giving you a free printable coloring sheet! Print it as many times as you like!
Giveaway 3: The Huntsman’s Heart
A Retelling of Snow White
Princess Snow and Prince Henri couldn’t be more different.
Their kingdoms and families have been at enmity for a thousand years.
But when a new dark queen rises, they have little choice but to join forces.
If they don’t, not only will their kingdoms fall…but the entire western realm.
Princess Snow has been sheltered since she was born, hidden in a secret garden at her terrified father’s behest. But when her father dies, and her older brother grants her the freedom of which she’s always dreamed, she feels as though the world is finally hers. Just as Snow’s life is about to begin, however, her brother’s new wife reveals a heart full of jealousy and fear. Barely escaping the castle alive, Snow stumbles upon a group of kind-hearted mountain men…and the aggravatingly handsome prince who claims her brother asked him to find her.
Crown Prince Henri Fortier of Destin had no intentions of journeying into the heart of his enemy’s land. But when the newly crowned king of Tumen sends word, begging for help to find his missing sister, Henri goes in hopes of making peace with the new king. What he finds, however, is not what he expected.
The princess is indeed alive, but she won’t remain so if the king’s new wife has her way. And with the new queen’s blossoming powers, Henri knows he must intervene, not only for the princess’s sake, but for the entire realm. Intervening would be much easier, however, if the princess didn’t resent him so much. Which makes it even more confusing when he finds himself drawn to her…and wonders whether she’s secretly drawn to him, as well.
None of that will matter, however, if the evil queen has her way. If these two unlikely allies can’t stop her, a shadow of misery and oppression will overtake everyone they love.
If you want the magic of Narnia and the romance of fairy tales, read this clean fantasy retelling of Snow White today to escape into the Classical Kingdoms Collection, a series of clean fantasy fairy tale retellings with magical mystery, clean, passionate romance, and heroic happily-ever-afters.
Author’s Note: The Huntsman’s Heart features the same royal family from Beauty Beheld, but it can be read as a standalone novel.
This book was a labor of love, and I labored over it for over five years before it ever hit bookshelves. And now, for the first time since it launched, you get it for free!
The Huntsman’s Heart continues the saga of the Fortier family, but even if you haven’t read Isa and Ever’s stories (Before Beauty, Blinding Beauty, and Beauty Beheld), you can still enjoy their adopted son Henri’s story as a standalone!

A dependable oldest sister is walking home from the market with her two younger sisters in their mysterious mountain city, crossing the treacherous pass, when a sudden avalanche nearly kills them. A mysterious knight appears, helping the eldest sister save the younger ones. He never says a word, and MFC eventually deduces he is under a curse of silence, but he vanishes before she can learn more about him. Their paths keep crossing under odd circumstances (runaway horse tries to trample her, forceful wind tries to blow her off a bridge, etc.) and strike up an unlikely friendship, learning to communicate without words. One day he offers her a beautiful, unique sapphire ring with a poetically written proposal. She is initially delighted, even as she’s troubled to marry someone under an active curse, but he won’t meet her eyes or put the ring on her finger. When she tries to pick it up to put it on herself, he suddenly snatches it and flings it into a nearby field, storming off. As she stares after him in shock, a child mysteriously appears with the ring in his hand: “Miss, I found this in the field. Is it yours?” The knight turns in horror just as she takes the ring and a tingle runs through her. The “child” was actually the witch that cursed the knight and has been trying to kill the MFC with all the “accidents,” since MFC comes from an ancient, nearly forgotten line of magicians who could defeat her attempts to gain power. She had cursed the knight, and when he kept circumventing her death attempts she blackmailed him into proposing with a cursed ring to bring MFC under her power (the ring, which can’t be removed, prevents MFC from accessing her dormant power). Now MFC and knight must work together, with some help from the precocious little sisters, to break his curse and the ring’s spell before it’s too late.

Once upon a time, in a small country village , Magpie was scrounging around for a new place to lay her head to sleep. The stars were shining brightly and the moon was full.

Sound asleep and wrapped in her worn out cloak, Magpie was startled by someone mumbling standing right next to her! She jumps to her feet scaring Mischief half to death.

Nearly reaching into the clouds stood a nearly impenetrable sentient castle in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg. The castle was older than time or memory, and the cliffs the stone structure clung to was known as, the Bock. Lauraleigh Brooks had known its secrets for nearly 22 years. As the oldest, and by far, the most responsible daughter of the Grand Duchy, she yearned for answers to the whispers throughout the castle of the ancient curse that would soon befall her. Nearby, in the quaint, but charming village of Piesport, Germany lived a Raven King, part German and part Irish. James Patrick Carroll was known far and wide as the intended husband of Lauraleigh. They had only met once when they were both children and were as opposite in looks as the sun and moon. James’ olive complexion and jet black hair with just the faintest glimmer of midnight blue was a stark contrast to Lauraleigh’s fair skin and platinum long hair that reached to her waist. . .to be continued.
Celia, always the dependable older sister, takes the care of her younger siblings seriously; there was no time for frivolity because seeing that 7 younger brothers and sisters are fed, clothed, protected, and kept out of trouble doesn’t leave much time for anything else. Her parents are wonderful and caring, but have their hands full with their medical practice; they are often away helping those in need. It takes a lot to provide for 8 children and the several nearby villages. Their reputation has even made them indispensable to the royal family. Celia would love to join them, having a knack for healing herself, but she has no time to truly study. She also has another problem, magic! When she turned 16 magic began to bubble up within her at the most inconvenient times. She’s been afraid to say anything because no one she knows has magic, and it has been taboo since the royal family’s experience with a dark magician.
A mysterious warrior passes through her village on the way to the castle; she has no time to gawk at him like the other girls, who are swooning over him and his good looks and apparent gallantry.

What sane person would want to get mixed up with her?
Celia and the villagers learn that the warrior has been sent to find a bride for his prince. It cannot be just any maiden; she must be one of valor, wit, and creativity, for a spell must be broken that has fallen on the kingdom. Apparently, the royal family didn’t look at titles but character. Learning this, Princess Giselle set her sights on becoming this bride; she can’t resist the opportunity to become queen of a mighty nation, being the younger sister to the very popular princess Corina, makes this option appealing in her hunger for power.
The warrior has a list of questions and challenges for all the young ladies interested in engaging to prove themselves. Celia would slip away, uninterested in the “games.” She had too many other things to worry about, besides taking on a kingdom’s curse.
However, when a sudden sickness begins to take hold of the villagers, and Celia’s family is affected, she sets out into the forest to find the herbs her parents need for the remedy. In her frustration at not being able to find the plants she seeks, she lets out a cry, awakening her magic in a way she has never experienced, and it draws her to the very plants she seeks within minutes. Suddenly, she is aware of the life force of every living thing in the forest. It overwhelms her. She drops to the forest floor under the weight of the experience. She is discovered there by the warrior, who felt a ripple of power through the forest as he traveled from another town towards her village and the castle. He helps her and shares that he is familiar with magic, that it has been welcomed in his land for generations, though the curse has made some question its value. He helps her gather the herbs and takes her back to her home. He promises not to tell her secret, though he encourages her to talk with her parents.
Celia now becomes the focus of the warrior; she is not sure why, except for her magic. There is something mysterious to him, and she is not sure she wants to know.
He believes she is the answer to his country’s problem and could be the right person to marry the prince. He invites her, Princess Giselle, and another girl from a neighboring village to travel with him back to his homeland to see if any one of them can break the spell and free the prince.
A radiant, sunshiney princess has spent her entire life hidden away in her family’s towering castle—kept “safe” from a world her overprotective parents fear. She’s curious, hopeful, and just reckless enough to dabble in magic she doesn’t fully understand. Enter: a battle-worn, perpetually unimpressed knight who arrives at court on royal duty. One impulsive spell later—meant to make him “speak from the heart”—goes spectacularly wrong. Now? He can’t speak at all. The kingdom panics. The court wizard faints. The visiting king demands solutions. But the ancient spellbook reveals the only cure: a blossom that grows in a hidden magical forest no one has entered in a hundred years. But who is to retrieve it? The princess—determined to fix her mistake. And the knight—furious, silenced, and stuck escorting the very girl who caused this mess. She talks – constantly. He communicates through sighs, gestures, heroic rescues, and the occasional “hmph.” And the forest doesn’t release the cure until love is confessed… not through grand speeches—but through action.
Suzette, an excellent and highly dependable oldest sister, must thwart an overconfident prince as they both race to solve a sentient castle’s puzzle and save Suzette’s younger sister, whom the prince has decided to claim as his true love.

One disastrous meeting between the two awakens an ancient curse that threatens the lives of everyone they know. Will Orion and Lynn be able to work together to break these series of curses or will they fail and the world breaks to turmoil?
