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
"I love this series so much! /.../ Each time, I think I've found my favorite couple, Sommers manages to surprise me with a new, brilliant take on what love, support, and relationships mean. /.../ There are lots of tongue-in-cheek references to current events and first world issues, and I simply love each new story."
Hopes & Dreams: The Goddess of Air (An urban paranormal romance)
What if the person you loved betrayed you after you made them immortal?
After transferring her malfunctioning Hearth function to Theo, Della still has too many powers. She loves being Mistress of the Icy Northerlies and so, the only thing to do is to hand over Change to her boyfriend of 13 years. He’s about to propose anyway, so fair is fair. Things do not go as planned.
Amongst his siblings, Ari is the most level-headed. You have to be when your Father is Time and your siblings dabble in truth, procrastination and chaos. When his human mother ropes him into helping Della with her lodgings, he has no idea his life of serendipitous balance is about to be upended by one flighty damsel.
Will Della find someone to trust her powers with or is all hope lost for Grace and her operation? Will Ari get over his curse of the golddiggers? And what Change awaits us all, depending on who gets those powers?
Hopes & Dreams is book #5 in the series, but can be read as a standalone. Meaning: to read book #5 you don't need to read the love stories of the other goddesses...but it might be a fun option. 😉
