Thanks for the mention, Jeannie! I have really loved the spiderman movies, both the ones with Tobey Maguire and the brand new one that came out this past summer, which was a whole new spider man, a little bit grittier, but still clean and exciting and just great!
I think my first book was more of an "inspired by" Sleeping Beauty book, and my other two have been retellings of Beauty and the Beast and Snow White. The reason I think retellings of fairy tales works so great is because fairy tales are short, without a lot of detail or characterization, so an author can take the story and the concepts behind it and just really expand it and really make it a great novel and still stay true to the original story concept, which doesn't alienate them from fans of the original fairy tale. And a dozen authors can take the same fairy tale and still come up with completely unique stories. I love it! :-)
