Announcing the launch of a new book by Kate Farrell,
THE FAIRY TALE HEROINE: LIVE AND CREATE HER JOURNEY, with a release date of October 7, 2024.
This new book is a nonfiction guide to the heroine’s journey based on ancient tales of the feminine quest. We will explore the characters, the tasks, and the three stages of the heroine’s journey, so familiar to us all, presented in a clear, engaging, interactive format.
THE FAIRY TALE HEROINE grew out of Kate’s memoir in which she braided tales of the feminine quest with her life story. She discovered that most readers did not know the basic elements of the heroine’s journey based on fairy tales. It is with great pleasure that we anticipate following her pathway together on this inclusive platform and share in her heroic successes.
Publishing the book on Substack as a series of posts will provide an exciting interactive process between author and readers: https://farrellk.substack.com/ Subscribe today for weekly posts!
