hey FFFers – this blog tour features an anthology (collection of short stories) from the Fellowship of Fantasy that includes cats. How cool is that? I mean, the ancient Egypians used to worship cats.
Cats have never forgotten this. Heh.
Here today is Savannah Jezowski.
FFF: Hi Savannah, welcome to Fairies, Fantasy, and Faith! I love the idea about a fantasy cat anthology. Can’t wait to read it.
SJ: Thanks for having me, Pam!
FFF: Can you tell us about the inspiration for your story, The Witching Hour?
SJ: The original inspiration for this story came when I was trying to enter a Cinderella retelling for a contest about four years ago. Instead of a glass slipper, I wanted a glass city, instead of fairy godmothers and ugly stepsisters, I wanted wizards and evil beasties. There also wasn’t a kitty in this story. Which is probably the reason the story never went anywhere, because how could any story be complete without a cat?
FFF: I know, right? So, what happened?
SJ: Unfortunately, I never did anything with the story idea or the characters. When I heard about the Paws, Claws, and Magic Tales anthology I went through some of my old notes to find a story idea that might be appropriate. There were two that jumped out at me, but this one grabbed hold and dug deep. What if there was a Kitty instead of a fairy godmother? GASP! Light Bulb! I ended up scrapping most of the Cinderella themes, so although you’ll still find the ball, the glass city, the fairy kitty, and the wizard…you probably won’t even recognize that it’s a fairy tale retelling.
FFF: Hahahahaha! I love it! Do you think you’ll do more with this story? What are your plans?
SJ: Do I have more planned for this story? I’m so glad you asked, because I do! I am drafting a second story following the events of The Witching Hour, where one of our lovebirds tries to run away from their royal obligations and creates pandemonium throughout the city…and sets some Hounds loose as well. Naturally, Romeo will need to sort everything out and save the day…again.
FFF: Fun! The best thing about fantasy is being able to do pretty much anything we want! Thanks for stopping by! Looking forward to reading your story!
SJ: You’re welcome! I hope you enjoy it!
