I only found one author to fill the Q slot of this A to Z series — Anna Quindlen, with one of her children’s books. I’m open to hearing about authors I missed, and if someone wants a pen name in a little-frequented section of the alphabet, I can recommend this letter!
Happily Ever After by Anna Quindlen
This is the story of Kate, a tomboy who loves both baseball and fairy tales. Her aunt Mary gives her a magic baseball mitt, and Kate wonders, just once, what it would be like to be a princess. Her actions in the fairy tales are not what anyone expects, and she’s quite happy to go back to her own life.
This is a sweet little tale that I’m happy to share with my own daughter (even if I’m not a baseball person myself). A fairy tale for the modern age.
Anna Quindlen can be found on-line at annaquindlen.net.
Hey there Erin … I just read your story in Daily Science Fiction … very cool concept … mind you, there are probably some ancestors we’d rather not have peering over our shoulders, or inflict upon the next generation!

That’s probably true, but there are certainly some of my relatives I wish were still around. Glad you thought the story was cool. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
