Immortal Works Press Releases Time-Bending Snow White Retelling

"Shattered Snow" is a YA science-fiction retelling of Snow White, featuring time travel. It is based
on the real-life history of Margaretha von Waldeck, a sixteenth-century countess that may have
inspired the Grimm brothers’ fairy tale.

Salt Lake City, UT, January 16, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Even after hundreds of years of telling and retelling
our favorite fairy tales, they continue to capture the public imagination. Snow White, in particular, has
been made into countless animated and live-action films, picture books, novelizations, and even a popular
television series. Surely it has been dissected and retold from so many angles that no one can bring
anything new to the story.

That is where you would be wrong. Enter Rachel Huffmire and her Amazon #1 Bestseller, "Shattered
Snow." In addition to charming characters and excellent writing, Ms. Huffmire's treatment of this classic
fairy tale features an unexpected element: time travel. And it works surprisingly well. Ms. Huffmire says,
“Snow White is likely based on a real German countess, Margaretha Von Waldeck, who was poisoned at
the age of 21. It was an added bonus that time travel seemed to fit so well into the folktale. In fact, a lot of
fairy tales have hints of time travel in them.”

The enthusiastic response to her work speaks for itself. Within 24 hours of release, "Shattered Snow" hit
#1 in Amazon's Fairy Tales category and #9 in Time Travel. "Shattered Snow" has sold copies not only in
the United States, but in the United Kingdom and Australia as well. Ms. Huffmire says, “I had personal
queries about availability from people in Denmark, France, India, Sweden, and the Netherlands. One girl
from England said there was a local seller there who sold out of copies, and wondered when the new
shipment would be in.”

“After I had the idea for 'Shattered Snow,'” Ms. Huffmire continues, “I felt excited to see how many
folktales are rooted in real-life stores.” Her next project? A similar retelling of Sleeping Beauty.

"Rachel Huffmire is an exciting new voice who takes familiar ideas about fantasy and time travel and
shatters those expectations! 'Shattered Snow' is a beautiful reimagining filled with engaging new
characters and fresh new ideas. Literary escapism achieved!" - Brian Crosby, Creative Director, Themed
Entertainment
