Fairy tales. They're often the first stories we hear and the ones that remain with us, deep in our subconscious. Princesses and princes, evil villains, dragons, hidden realms, mystical beings, battles between good and evil...these are the classic elements of fairy tales that are meant to suspend our imaginations in a world of fantasy and teach listeners to beware of the evils that lurk in the dark corners of our world. Fairy tales have survived hundreds of years of interpretations and re-tellings. They have been fractured and done anew over and again. But, what about new stories? Stories that embody all the classic features of those that have become embedded in our minds but that offer up new characters, fresh plots, and unique settings? Fantasia Fairy Tales is a collection of new stories told in the classic style that we love. This is the new generation of fairy tales. Step inside and find yourself falling, once again, for the magic of it all. Featuring stories by: Bryan Grafton, E. W. Farnswoth, Claudia Wair, Beverly Reynolds, Rollin Jewett, Anonymous, William Thompson, C. C. Loureiro, Alex Pickens, S. O.

An old Hopi medicine man is brutally murdered during a pilgrimage to a secret shrine near the Grand Canyon. The gruesome murder is investigated by Jenny Hatch, the U. S. Forest Service archaeologist, and all of the clues to the mystery seem to lead back to ancient Hopi legends. The suspects include: a belligerent uranium mine owner; a renegade Indian leader of the Ghost Shirters; the flamboyant spiritual leader of the Crystal Heads; a rebel Hopi politician running for Tribal Chairman; the powerful Kachina Masaw; and even the Hopi traditionalist who was beheaded. Throw in a long lost map, and you have all the ingredients for the wondrous return of Masaw. "Kachina Roulette" is the second book in the Jenny Hatch mystery series, following on the hells of the very popular "Anasazi Strip". It is a fascinating tale of greed, environmental justice, lost legends, and playing with fire as powerful forces come together at the Black Butte Mine, each trying to pull the Kachina trigger without getting killed.
