Torqued Tales
Twisted. That's what Torqued Tales is all about. Taking a familiar fairy tale and turning it a few degrees off center, making it something new. And sexy. The authors of Torqued Tales have taken some of our old favorites, such as Sleeping Beauty, the Little Red Riding Hood, and Pinocchio, and given them a romantic, sensual, and homoerotic slant. Sean Michael, BA Tortuga, Julia Talbot; all of your favorite authors are here, with stories that are as irreverent as they are faithful to tales we all know and love. CB Potts has given the Emperor's New Clothes a hilarious retelling, where two tailors of magical cloth give every man in sight a whole new lease on clothing. Kara Larson's The Nature of the Beast takes on Beauty and the Beast, Kiwi style. And Kiernan Kelly looks at Puss in Boots in a whole new light in The Master Cat. By turns rib shaking funny and steamy hot, these fairy tales are not the morality plays we remember from our childhood. This lighthearted fantasy anthology will keep you turning the page, eager to get your Grimm on and see what the best Torquere authors can do with a little tradition, a lot of imagination, and healthy dose of heat.

From The Emperor's New Clothes
By CB Potts
Long ago and far away, best beloved, there was a kingdom.

And if you don't think that's special, well, all I can say is that you must be new to the land of fairy tales. As such, I bid you welcome and beg you to sit and stay, just for a while.
For anyway, in this Kingdom that should have been an Emperor-dom, there was, in fact, an Emperor. Oh, what a glorious specimen of manhood he was! This is not something that I'm saying simply because I am a lowly teller of tales and the Emperor who ruled this kingdom, which in truth should have been an Emperor-dom (and you'll forgive me, best beloved, if I stop belaboring this point, having now reached the conclusion that it has worked quite hard enough!), has entire legions of soldiers most well equipped with bright shiny implements of destruction. No, I tell you these words because they are the truth, or at least the most ... read full excerpt from Torqued Tales ebook
