Cameron Dokey

Cameron Dokey is yet another author of re-told fairy tales. (Pretty soon we're going to need a special icon for just for those, aren't we?) I've read more imaginative and richly characterized examples of the genre, but Ms. Dokey's books are well-written and entertaining, with the added charm of being inspired by some highly unusual source material, including Arabian Nights and Mozart's "The Magic Flute".

Aftertaste:
Ms. Dokey only has one fully original novel on her résumé. (Clearly a woman born for fanfiction.) In addition to the re-worked fairy tales, she has also written novels for various TV shows, including Charmed and Buffy.

Availability:
Everywhere.
