In the midst of the Author of the Month voting enthusiasm we are excited to take a moment and announce that Starry Ink Press has signed Melissa Wise's 'A Thread of Magic': A Rumpelstiltskin retelling. 

​Melissa Wise, fantasy romance author of Hades' Queen (Page Publishing, 2001), has signed a 10-year exclusive contract with Starry Ink Press to include print, ebook, and audiobook rights for A Thread of Magic. 

A Thread of Magic is planned for release in late 2022. 

Starry Ink Press signed this steamy fantasy romance as one of our debut novels because Melissa Wise's masterful storytelling will keep our readers on the edge of their seats. The creative reimagining of characters, traditionally considered to be villains, as swoon-worthy heroes and heroines is an art that Melissa exhibits to the highest standard, which makes A Thread of Magic truly stand out in the genre.
