The Other Lane: A Modern Fairy Tale: 1

Lane Benjamin never believed in fairy tales. Once upon a time, she was going to be everything. Mother. Wife. Successful artist. But after a difficult divorce, she’s struggling just to keep a roof over her head.

Lane finds the courage to leap full-time into an art career at the same time the dashing and much-too-old-for-her Abe Fujikawa asks to be her Prince Charming.

The promise of dreams come true are just a fairy godmother away. Can Lane keep her past — and his — from crumbling this new castle to the ground before she’s even had a chance to build it?

The Other Lane is a medium-spicy romance set in the modern-day Midwest. There are TWO balls — er, charity galas — and the heroine saves herself and still gets her happily ever after.

Marla Holt grew up wishing the heroines in the fairy tales she loved had more to choose from than marrying the prince or utter devastation, so now she writes modern day fairy tales with a feminist flare. She earned a BA in Creative Writing from the University of Kansas in 2011. Now Marla is living her own dream come true, writing and knitting in Topeka, Kansas with her husband and three boys.
