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.

Once Upon A Name
A collection of clean quirky, strange and out right unusual short stories collecting donations for Book Aid International to support literacy.
My story, Yumiko’s revenge is probably the most gruesome I’ll ever write, but it’s all about the blood-lapping magic boots. (Hey, it takes a lot of energy transporting people from A to B and cleaning up their messes, so yes, the boots take blood and life-years as payment and resurface again in Cinders: Necessary Evil and Life&Death: The Goddess of Light. And Ash: Crooked Fates as well.)
Twice Upon A Name
A collection of clean short tales of mixups and mistaken identities to support literacy.
My story, To Find A Queen is about Nefarious Russelbulb the Seventh hunting down a girl who would become Queen Gretel Crimsonlocks.
The anthology comes out April 20, 2023 and is currently on pre-order.
To Cure A Curse
A clean YA prequel novella to Cinders: Necessary Evil. If you’ve read my Thumbelina, you’ll find the zombie fairy quite familiar.
This Time Around
Dystopian is a vastly different genre from my usual fairytales, but this is actually the first book I ever wrote (and didn’t publish). I published Goddesses: The Bet instead. Go figure.
Goddesses: The Bet
A friendship fiction book about ancient goddesses grappling with a bet gone wrong. It’s 0.5 prequel to the Goddesses Saga, but can be read as a standalone.
Delve Into Magic Kingdom
Book of the Month
"This book really takes the idea of Happily Ever After and shows us, that it's not over when the HEA happens. Happily ever afters take work. A LOT of work. This book is incredible in the way it portrays how that work happens."
"What a dark and gloomy beginning!!! Good to know that when it comes to Death, there’s a check and balance system in place before the collection. /.../ Death uses an Excel spreadsheet to track soul pick-ups and ‘Valhalla has a tech department’. /.../ Fave quote: ‘Sumtimes hope is da most fearsome ting of all.’ Some sage advice from the author: If you’re going to choose how and when you die, make sure you take into consideration *where* you die."
Love & Money: The Goddess of Luck
One date. That’s all it should take when you’ve already found the love of your life, right?
Unburdened by relationships or her powers, Aphrodita, the Goddess of Luck has been flittering through life for millennia. When a new suitor comes calling who first ignores her and then doesn’t take no for an answer, what’s a girl to do? Stage a red herring of an intervention, that’s what. After all, helping others is so much more satisfying than sorting out her own love life. Or lack thereof.
Recruited from Magic Kingdom by the Warriors at the tender age of 16, Hans is now the chieftain’s right hand man. His timepocket of a dimension needs a new king. Who’ll be wanting a queen. A feisty Barbie of a goddess is a good choice, but why is she putting up a fight?
Will Hans get the girl or will he be derailed by his duties? Will Dita accept that her powers don’t work on everyone? And how many goddesses does a brain surgeon need to perform an operation nobody has attempted before?
Love & Money is book#3 in the Goddesses Series, but can be read as a standalone. Meaning: to read book #3 you don't need to read books #1 Charm & Mayhem: The Goddess of Fate or book #2 Life & Death: The Goddess of Light, but it might be a fun option.
