When Tabitha accidentally climbs up Amira's mountain one day, they become friends, and their lives change.Įl-Mohtar was inspired to write the story when her 7-year-old niece asked to be told a fairy tale, but the only ones she could think of involved "women being rescued by men or tormented by other women". Tabitha and Amira are both trapped in fairy tales: Tabitha is marching around the world until she wears out seven pairs of iron shoes in an effort to free her husband from an enchantment, while Amira sits atop a glass mountain awaiting a man to climb all the way up and claim her as his bride.
It was first published in the anthology The Starlit Wood: New Fairy Tales. Which I’ve got nearly enough stories to fill, now."Seasons of Glass and Iron" is a 2016 fantasy story by Canadian writer Amal El-Mohtar.
(The first is set immediately after Grim Tides, and the second is about some secondary characters in the series.) They were both written as prizes for Grim Tides Kickstarter donors, but fear not, they’ll be available in a future collection of Marla Mason stories.
I’ve finished writing a couple of stories in the past few weeks - “Snake and Mongoose” and “A Cloak of Many Worlds,” both related to the Marla Mason series. If you’d like to read the book when it comes out, $10 gets you the e-book. Speaking of short stories, we now enter week two of the Kickstarter fundraiser for my next collection, Antiquities and Tangibles, which is doing better than I’d hoped. Shir took my basic story and very much made it his own, but if you want to read my original version, it’s online at.
Previously seen only at film festivals, a couple of small screenings, and in my living room a few times. The short film adaptation of my story “Impossible Dreams,” directed by Shir Comay, is now available to view in its entirety! (In Hebrew, with English subtitles.) Take 22 minutes and enjoy.
