E.K. Johnston had several jobs and one vocation before she became a published writer. If she's learned anything, it's that things turn out weird sometimes, and there's not a lot you can do about it. Well, that and how to muscle through awkward fanfic because it's about a pairing she likes.
You can follow Kate on Twitter (@ek_johnston) to learn more about Alderaanian political theory than you really need to know, on Tumblr (ekjohnston) if you're just here for the pretty pictures, or online at ekjohnston.ca.
"Despite taking the perspective of Little Rose's potential savior,
the story has a decidedly feminist slant, focusing on the
princess's growth, power, autonomy, and eventual self-rescue...
Hand this clever work to fans of the companion book."--School
Library Journal
"The framework of 'Sleeping Beauty' plays out against a hot desert
setting, with Yashaa playing the reluctant hero and Little Rose
possessing far more agency, wit, and intelligence than is afforded
to most fairy-tale princesses... Pleasing readers who would prefer
their ever afters to be bittersweet."--The Bulletin of the Center
for Children's Books
"The most powerful stories encompass a paradox. SPINDLE is both
mythic and true, old beyond reckoning and dazzlingly, gloriously
new. You've known this story all your life; you have never heard
its like before. The Storyteller Queen lives, and her name is E. K.
Johnston."--Rachel Hartman, New York Times best-selling author of
Seraphina
