Fairytales — Emilia I. Rutigliano

Veronica's Story Continues. Veronica's story continues. Have you ever wondered why there is so much gore in the storybooks that we read to our children? Is it because the stories are, indeed, appropriate preparation for life? Amidst the balls, gowns and champagne, there are evil stepmothers, death and disease. There are also valiant princes, kindly matriarchs, and enchanted lands. There is no alternate reality, though. It is still modern-day New York…and Paris, of course. Still, Veronica needs to get up and go to work, take the kids to school, and play nice with the ex's new wife. Each layer, though, is enchanted with its own romance… and each lover becomes a benevolent wizard. There is Ben, Jeremy and Edmonde. And then there is KD. Why choose? These are the games your mama never taught you. These are men's games played by a woman, and a woman is only eligible to play when she is taught to see the world differently. It isn't just a matter of calculations…it is a matter of proper education. What Jeremy taught in NAPOLEON becomes a world of experience in FAIRYTALES… What was a parochial life with known participants and variables becomes a new world with more and more opportunities. Each opportunity comes with a privilege and an obligation â€" and Veronica has never shirked an obligation, not even in a fairy tale. It is a fun journey. What it is not, though, is a known destination.
