Immortal Works Press Releases Time-Bending Snow White Retelling

Salt Lake City, UT, January 16, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Even after hundreds of years of telling and retelling our favorite fairy tales, they continue to capture the public imagination. Snow White, in particular, has been made into countless animated and live-action films, picture books, novelizations, and even a popular television series. Surely it has been dissected and retold from so many angles that no one can bring anything new to the story.

That is where you would be wrong. Enter Rachel Huffmire and her Amazon #1 Bestseller, "Shattered Snow." In addition to charming characters and excellent writing, Ms. Huffmire’s treatment of this classic fairy tale features an unexpected element: time travel. And it works surprisingly well. Ms. Huffmire says, “Snow White is likely based on a real German countess, Margaretha Von Waldeck, who was poisoned at the age of 21. It was an added bonus that time travel seemed to fit so well into the folktale. In fact, a lot of fairy tales have hints of time travel in them.”

The enthusiastic response to her work speaks for itself. Within 24 hours of release, "Shattered Snow" hit #1 in Amazon’s Fairy Tales category and #9 in Time Travel. "Shattered Snow" has sold copies not only in the United States, but in the United Kingdom and Australia as well. Ms. Huffmire says, “I had personal queries about availability from people in Denmark, France, India, Sweden, and the Netherlands. One girl from England said there was a local seller there who sold out of copies, and wondered when the new shipment would be in.”

“After I had the idea for 'Shattered Snow,'” Ms. Huffmire continues, “I felt excited to see how many folktales are rooted in real-life stores.” Her next project? A similar retelling of Sleeping Beauty.

"Rachel Huffmire is an exciting new voice who takes familiar ideas about fantasy and time travel and shatters those expectations! 'Shattered Snow' is a beautiful reimagining filled with engaging new characters and fresh new ideas. Literary escapism achieved!" - Brian Crosby, Creative Director, Themed Entertainment
