School of the Legends
School of the Legends is a YA fantasy series based on fairy tales, myths, legends, tall tales, nursery rhymes, and so much more. It is planned to have four books.
What is School of the Legends about?
Madame Goossen's School for the Majicked, Gifted, and Cursed is exactly what it sounds like; it is a high school specially designed for unique individuals to accommodate to their abilities. Majicked describes people who are skilled in magics, such as wizardry or witchcraft or anything of the sort. Gifted people are born with powers, likely due to a mutation. Cursed refers to those whose powers were inflicted onto themselves by another.
What are the origins of School of the Legends?
I have wanted to write a fairy tale parody since about fifth grade. I have always had a soft spot for fairy tale parodies. There is no direct origin, but it has evolved into many forms over the years.

Where am I in writing School of the Legends?
I am putting a greater priority on writing The Secret Portal, so I am still in the early planning stage of SOTL, but plan to have four books in the series. However, I do have five chapters drafted that I am pretty proud of.
I am currently making my way through reading up on source material to prepare for adapting the different legends, tales, and other stories, taking color-coded notes in the process.
