SHONNA SLAYTON visited her first castle in grade four and was hooked on history forevermore. With so much scope for the imagination, writing about both fairy tales and history seemed a good fit. Her first series, the Fairy-tale Inheritance Series is rich with tales of family heirlooms, hidden secrets, and, of course, fairy tale magic. She grew up in British Columbia and now lives with her husband and children in Arizona. To stay in touch and learn about new books, join her newsletter at ShonnaSlayton.com
