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.

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.)

"If you're looking for a fun, light-hearted read to whisk you away to a fairy tale land and make you laugh out loud, this is the book. Sky's witty, irreverent sense of humour is almost Monty Python-esque at times, so if you love that style of comedy you'll definitely love this series. One of my favourite kinds of story is the 'behind-the-scenes of a well-known tale, what really happened' type of thing - think Lion King 1.5 where Timone and Pumba tell the story from their side. This is exactly that, only ten times better, because Sky has combined classic fairy tales (Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Wizard of Oz) with the fae, and chucked in a dark angel for good measure, and woven them all into a series of modern retellings with added humour (the thing missing from most fairy tales, I find)."
What if all mirrors were portals and wishes were like curses?
If you believe enough, you could travel the dimensions Alice-style. Or Marina-style, getting stuck in Magic Kingdom for 36 years.
Disenchant a frog? No problem. So what that he’s your one-night-stand baby-daddy & you hate his guts. Help the egotistic huntsman Belle jilted find his HEA? Sure thing. Someone has to do the hard work. Might as well be the witch who ended up in Magic Kingdom by accident. Or a wish gone wrong. (Same thing, really.) At least the mirror cooperates when asked - nicely and in rhyme - and shows glimpses of the lives of others. Magical reality TV - handy when you can’t leave your hut on chicken legs.
Grizelda the witch from Cinders (aka Marina the Goddess of Fate from Charm) takes center stage in this set, meddling through the consequences of her wish.
You might remember the silver and bronze mirrors from Cinders, the iron one from Ash and the golden one from Charm. Or get introduced to them here.
Will Marina ever question the origins of the bronze mirror she uses?
Why doesn’t she leave the same way she came?
And who can take a magic mirror with them when they pop through?
The stories in this set include:
These short stories are related standalones that can be read separately as small soundbites to the author's other books.
