A wholesome ROmance in Oz
What if the Wizard of Oz was a romance? Come with us as we explore romantic
versions of the fairy tales of old (with an Ozian spin.) Dorothy, Cinderella, Beauty & the Beast, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White, all retold in new and interesting ways...
Into a Wicked World
Lions, and tigers, and an emotionally unavailable woodsman, oh my!
When Dorothy Gale said she wanted to get as far away from her narcissistic mother as she possibly could, she didn’t mean an entirely new world altogether. Mystically transported to the Land of Oz, the Kansas college student must navigate the dangers of angry trees, poisonous poppies, and wicked witches, all on her quest to find the Wizard who might be able to get her home.
It doesn’t take Dorothy long to assemble a group of unlikely allies—including a talkative-yet-naïve scarecrow, a princely lionman, and a woodsman whose looks are as sharp as the magical axe on his hip. But when the seemingly cold-hearted woodsman helping Dorothy find the fabled Emerald City begins to warm her own heart, she starts wanting more than just a return trip to Kansas.
Enchanted by a curse that has earned him the nickname Tinman, Nick Chopper just wants to live his lonely life safe in the Blue Forest with the nonjudgmental Fighting Trees and the occasional trip into town for some Munchkin desserts. But his routine is about to be blown away when Glinda the Good orders him to escort a whirlwind of a woman, who has just flown in from a faraway land, to the bustling Emerald City.
Every moment with Dorothy makes his curse harder and harder to bear. But being around her starts to feel worth the pain, and Nick slowly begins to hope Dorothy can see that home is where the tin heart is…
Under an Emerald Spell
She's the woman, behind the man, behind the curtain...
Isaac has lied his way through his entire life. A conman by trade, he has executed his biggest heist yet: stealing the title of the Wizard of Oz. Only this time, his lies have been altruistic as he tries to protect a young girl with a dangerous magical ability. Unfortunately, his secret has recently been exposed to the witch he was falling for—losing her trust, and worse, her good heart.
Glinda the Good has truly earned her golden reputation, sacrificing time and magic to help everyone but herself. Divert storm-flooded rivers to protect munchkin villages? No problem. Put out a barn fire to save the cows? Just another day for the good witch. But no one ever told her that devoting her life to others would leave her without any time for her own.
When the mayor of the Emerald City announces a competition for a powerful wish, both Glinda and Isaac want the reward for radically different reasons, and each is willing to do whatever it takes to win.
Even if that means being a little bit wicked…
Upon a Winter's Curse
True love isn't for the cowardly...
Prince Lional vowed to never harm a living soul. So when the Wicked Witch cursed him into becoming a carnivorous lionman, forced to hunt animals to survive, it made him doubt his very nature. Worse, she transformed his subjects into an apple tree orchard for daring to be loyal. Lional isn’t afraid to take on the moniker “cowardly lion,” but what scares him is the thought that he may never cure his people.
After the Wicked Witch has been run from the castle, leaving a chaotic pile of dangerous wands, Lional must decipher which ones can save him and his people. But the prince needs help—even if it’s from someone who hates him from his whiskers to his paws.
Bellina served loyally at Lional’s castle until her father was caught in the curse-crossfire and turned into a tree. To save him, she has spent every waking moment studying wands and what they can do. Now, Prince Lional has reached out to her in hopes she can find the right wand to lift the curse. The catch? She’ll have to move back into the horrific castle and pretend to be married to the cowardly prince she blames for the whole incident in the first place…
