Sky Sommers
Sky mostly writes retold fairytales with dry humour where secrets are peeled back like onions. Sometimes, in her standalones, she likes to make you choose, depending on your disposition (optimist vs pessimist) - coz the path that awaits depends on the decisions we take. She lives in Tallinn, Estonia, travels a lot, but less now that her kid has gone to school.
Besides fairytales, Sky keeps experimenting with different genres: myths&legends; steampunk; post-apocalyptic scifi; quirky fantasy romance and alternative history to name a few that are currently in the works.

Delve Into Magic Kingdom
Book of the Month
"This is a sweet story of a girl who always thought of others and even when that action cost her life, she couldn’t help but see one more person she wanted to save before she truly left." - Chad, a Goodreads reviewer
"We are ofttimes utterly unaware of the sacrifices our protectors make on our behalf. /.../ Not to mention the consequences and the guilt of a wrong or poorly timed decision. And the author mixes up various situations of choice & sacrifice throughout - “The Little Mermaid” vibe is strong in this tale (pun intended)!"
Remember Me: An Urban Little Mermaid retelling
Lanie’s dead and it’s nobody’s fault.
She should have taken more care before spooking a desperate man with her kind offer to help. As she's propelled toward oblivion, Lanie uses her final wish to save a car-accident victim from the River Thames.
While she watches over the man she saved, realization hits that Death came knocking too soon. Why is she so drawn to Peter, whom she never knew? What will happen to her once he’s hale again? After all, she is already dead.
After a week in a coma, Peter discovers a strange barefoot girl in his apartment. It’s not her Candy Striper uniform but the kindness of feeding his cat that prevents him from calling the cops. Why does she seem so familiar? Does she speak at all? And why are there girly things strewn all across his bachelor pad?
Will love conquer death? Or does fate have other plans for Lanie?
Remember Me is an urban Little Mermaid retelling where Disney-loving optimists and Andersen-honoring pessimists each get their own ending - a HFN for the sceptics and a HEA for the kind-hearted.
