    About this ebook

    Fairy tale villains are real, but luckily there's one woman crazy enough to stop them: Veronica Grim, Fairytale Assassin.

    Follow her exploits in the seedy world of fairy tale crime in these two thrilling short stories.

    "Blood Don't Lie" is a 1000 word tale involving blue facial tattoos, a bloody key, and a whole closet full of trouble. Can Veronica take down a killer without becoming one of his victims?

    "Heartless" is a 2600 word action tale. Porn princess Whitney Snow is in a world of hurt with no one to trust--not even her dwarf entourage! Her Stepmom wants her dead, but that's not even the worst of her problems--Veronica Grim is the one hired to track her down.

    What readers are saying:

    "I felt like I was dropped in on an exciting scene from an action movie. It starts quick, and then gets wild as the mayhem kicks in."

    "There are glimpses of a much larger, darkly twisted world and I'd love to see more of this series..."

    "I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for more from this author."
