What to Read

   November 13, 2010

Tales of the Big Bad Wolf is/was a series of stories.  Initially it was supposed to be both illustrations and prose but trying to produce both on a weekly basis proved challenging. So the primary content was done in writing.

  • “Red Riding Hood”  began its online serialization in November of 2010 after several years of sitting on the backburner while I played “artist.”    I laid the groundwork for this story several years ago — resulting in a number of concept illustrations (see the Art section) and the text for Chapter 1.  In the 2010  Nanowrimo, I wrote approximately 35,000 words, and began immediately revising that text and adding in new sections during the formal serialization.  From November 2010 to February 2013, I posted almost weekly.  
  • “The Queen of Swans” was the immediate sequel to “Red Riding Hood” and began serializing May 2013 and ceased in 2015 almost near its end. Ten years later, drafting the ending! 

 

Where to start

  • If you are a new reader with just a few minutes of time, I recommend that you read the short story Unicorns Walk Among Us.
  • If you have a desire for a lengthier read, I’d suggest starting with Book 1: Red Riding Hood.  You can read it free at the link or if you are not fond of webreading, it is also available as an ebook or via the Wattpad app.   

If you’d like to skip to the current serial, you are welcome to start with Book 2, “The Queen of Swans” after reading the Book 1 summary.

Chronologically, this is the order of the stories.

It is likely there will be a Book 3 at some point, with a working title “The Fairy King.”
