Description
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a woman who was allergic to dust. Her name was Cinderella.
In the same land, there was a frustrated sarcastic mirror. His keeper never stopped asking, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” And he wanted to burn her alive.
“Why are your eyes so big?” asked a famous girl in a red cloak, who ate magic mushrooms for the first time.
Unexpected twists in this world of Grimm and Disney Fairy Tales, where some things happened that should never have happened:
ultra smart and attractive dwarfs
a woman chosen for an arranged marriage with the wrong prince
hair long enough to tempt the kingdom’s greatest bully
a man turned into a beast in desperate need of love
mysterious wolves and dangerous fantasies
a handsome sarcastic dwarf competing for the heart of the girl who hates him
women standing up to evil fairies, or winning a beauty pageant after a big junk-food binge
confused genies stuck in rusty lamps
lies about ‘magical’ beans that only a man with no IQ could believe
love at first sight
mind-reading gone wrong
plotting grandmas
terrible lack of hygiene
BIG life-changing makeovers
and…LOTS of chocolate.

Bio
Mother, hiker, Amazon bestselling author and total foodie living in Edinburgh, Scotland…
Reut graduated as a trained Opera Singer from the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, and then worked in Berlin, singing church music by Mozart, Haydn and Bach. While arranging concerts in the city and managing artists, she discovered her passion for business. She joined fellow entrepreneurs in the 2013-2014 class at the University of Oxford, with a scholarship to study business (MBA), where she found that creativity goes far beyond art. She later had a taste of corporate life, seeing the inside workings of some of the world’s largest finance, energy and manufacturing companies. Leaving the world of corporate drama behind, she now pursues her dreams of becoming a fiction novelist, a self published vegan author, blogger and youtuber. She first arrived in Scotland as a hiker, eager to explore the mysterious highlands…
Well, no not really… The true story is:
Once upon a time…
Reut was born in Camelot in the year 1201, following the famous explosion of the northern dragon tower.
She has a degree in fantasy and science fiction from the University of Atlantis and this record can be found in the central library, now twenty thousand leagues under the sea.
She likes phoenix riding, dragon fighting and painting the roses red.
And Grimm’s Fairy Tales 🙂
