I'd thought up doing a website where I wrote and posted folk tales only recently, but thanks to my always wonderful wife helping me, it came to existence very quickly as Looking for the Witch. My goal is to post a new story every week to week and a half, focusing on folk tales of the variety before they were sanitized by the brothers Grimm or Disney. They're new stories in that vein of story-telling.

EDIT: Due to an issue with Amazon, where the print and eBooks of the stories are being sold, I had to delete any in finished books from here. But new ones will still be posted.

Picture I drew today for "The Fevering Child".

New story was up a couple days ago: Legs

I have been loving these stories!

I appreciate it. And I'll post part 2 on Sunday evening.

New story: The Shadows are Coming

New story up: Briar Thorns

This one's a semi-sequel to Legs which was posted back in October.

New story up: Thunder Horn and Fire Box

And that's the last one from the book that's going up on the site. Starting next week will be all-new material.

New story, Anyone's Chance, about a guy who thinks he has a shot at a rich girl, and doesn't like being wrong.

First site story on the road to volume 2.

Ffion the Appeaser, about a young woman who lies. A lot.

Art by my wife.

Part 2 of The Sunless Season is posted on the site.

Kind of sort of relevant to Valentine's Day because it has love in the title and for no other reason...

Love Itself

Blessing of the White Elephant

Thanks to Steinman for posting that thread about the white elephant gifts. It provided the spark that got this story rolling.

Even if people aren't into these stories, they should click the link to see the illustration.

A Walking House

A short sequel to the story "Legs" from October 2011.

New story, The Phoenix Heart , about the lonesome phoenix and his search for love.

Next week: Book Two releases!

New story: Falcon

A Rug for Royalty

Thanks go to my wife for saying she wanted me to write about an old weaver. I obeyed.

Looking for the Witch now has a tumblr: http://lookingforwitch.tumblr.com/

I intend to update new stories timely with the main site as well as post the old stories over time. Hopefully this will make following LFTW easier for some.

Also, in case anyone didn't see the news post from the end of April, the last week of May will not have a new story but instead a sample from the novel to be released late summer.

New story: Nadezya and the Devil Hunter, Part 1 of 2

A sequel to Legs and A Walking House.

Your website is quite spiffy, I enjoy how easy it is to navigate

Thanks; as someone who knows little about web design, that's a relief to hear.

The Glum Knight, Part 1 of 3

Not sure if anyone's been browsing, but there have also been samples of my upcoming novel on the site. I won't be making a thread about it until I have some art to show, but there is text on the site. It's almost as good as pictures.

August schedule is up

And at some point I'll have to start post about the upcoming novel (which is not a fairy tale, but still relevant).

Back in the swing of things, to a small extent. Here's a go at micro-fiction fairy tale, at less than a page's length:

The Monster

Going to be a while for the next one.

First story of 2013!

The Charming Foxes

Part 1 of 2

Part 2 is up on the site

Next month will have a contemporary story along with a fairy tale type.

Two-parter coming soon. .

New fairy tale, Part 1 is up on the site.

I liked that one.

Thanks!

New story up!
