Everything is going according to story for CeCi (Cinderella), Bianca (Snow White), and Rory (Sleeping Beauty)—until the day that Zell (Rapunzel) decides to leave Grimmland and pursue her life. Now, Zell's best friends are left to wonder whether their own passions are worth risking their predetermined "happily ever afters," regardless of the consequences. CeCi wonders whether she should become a professional chef, sharp-tongued and quick-witted Bianca wants to escape an engagement to her platonic friend, and Rory will do anything to make her boorish husband love her. But as Bianca's wedding approaches, can they escape their fates—and is there enough wine in all of the Realm to help them?In this hilarious modern interpretation of the fairy-tale stories we all know and love, Letters to Zell explores what happens when women abandon the stories they didn't write for themselves and go completely off script to follow their dreams.
Camille Griep's short works can be found in a number of fine online and print magazines. Born in Billings, Montana, she moved to Southern California to attend Claremont McKenna College, graduating with a dual degree in biology and literature. She used her writing skills to move through careers in marketing and financial analysis before taking a hiatus in late 2011 to devote herself to fiction. In 2012, she graduated from Viable Paradise, a residential workshop for speculative fiction novelists. Soon after, she joined the staff of the Lascaux Review, where she now serves as a senior editor. She lives just north of Seattle with her partner, Adam, and their bulldog, Dutchess. Letters to Zell is her first novel.
