What are HighTower Fairytales?

HighTower Fairytales lean more toward the original sources (NOT Disney) with rich semi-historical settings. They have magic. They have scary monsters. And, most importantly, they have unique and complex characters who are trying hard to improve themselves.

They also include plenty of humor and all the heroes marry their prince/princess charming and live happily ever after at the end!

Basically, these stories meant to inspire, but have a very difficult and occasionally dark tower to climb. They are conservatively marked at 14+ and are appropriate for teens and young adults.

Currently these stories include:

Winter Falls: A Tale of the Snow Queen (2017)
Cry Wolf: A Tale of Beauty and the Beast (2020)
Depths: A Tale of the Little Mermaid (2020)
Letters by Cinderlight: A Tale of Cinderella (2021)
Robin's Hood: A Tale of Sherwood Forest (2021)

And more on the way!!!

Jacque Stevens

Jacque Stevens has always been drawn to stories where shadows hold secrets and love has to fight to survive. Long before she became a USA Today bestselling author, she was a nursing student scribbling chapters between shifts, escaping into worlds filled with fae bargains, broken crowns, and the kind of magic that comes at a cost. What began as a quiet act of relief soon grew into a passion that shaped her life and an entire library of fantasy retellings that breathe new life into old legends.

Raised under the open skies of Arizona and now settled in Utah, Jacque grew up surrounded by tales that never quite ended the way she hoped. She found herself rewriting them in her mind, wondering what happened after the glass slipper fit or the curse was broken. Those early musings became the foundation of her signature style: emotionally grounded fairy-tale retellings that blur the line between hope and heartbreak.

Her acclaimed HighTower Fairytales series reimagines classics like Cinderella, Swan Lake, and Beauty and the Beast through characters who are imperfect, resilient, and deeply human. In stories such as Letters by Cinderlight and The Swan Bride, magic becomes both a gift and a test, forcing her heroes and heroines to confront the very things they wish to escape. Readers often describe her writing as "noblebright," a world where darkness exists, but light always finds a way through.

When she is not building new kingdoms or untangling ancient curses, Jacque works as an editor, helping other writers find their voice. She still carries that same quiet wonder she had when she wrote her first novel by lamplight, the belief that even the most familiar stories can surprise you if told from the right heart.

Jacque Stevens continues to craft tales that blend myth and emotion, reminding readers that courage often hides in the softest moments and that sometimes, the greatest magic is choosing to hope.
