Sleeping Ugly - Kindle Fiction

Sleeping Ugly 
by Jon Jacks 

When you’re immortal, a lifetime on the run lasts forever

Everyone in the world of fashion might think Aurora is in her early twenties – but really she’s still sixteen, has she has been now for thousands of years.
In her long life, she has played many roles, including Egyptian queens and Helen of Troy.
Now she has taken on the most dangerous task of all, however; hunting down her courtiers who were also granted immortality, but decided to use it for their own gain, causing wars and suffering.
The biggest problem of all, though, is that both the Fates and Furies have decided to become involved – and immortality means nothing to them.


About the Author
Jon Jacks has written over twenty books, mostly for Young Adults and Children, including Glastonbury Sirens, The Lost Fairy Tale, Sleeping Ugly, and Nyx, Granddaughter of the Night.

‘Could there be anything more exciting and rewarding than writing stories that appeal to teenagers?’ Jon says. ‘They want stories that involve them, stories that stretch their already extensive imaginations, stories of magic, romance, action and adventure – all the things that are so sadly lacking in much of today’s adult fiction (The Snow Child and the spectacular Game of Thrones being welcome exceptions).

‘New Adult fiction is a world of immortals, guardian angels, vampires, spiritual contact and romance reaching across any form of boundary, even death. Twilight, The Hunger Games, Immortal Instruments, The Knife of Never Letting Go, Pretties, Fallen, The Forest of Hands and Teeth; even the titles scream out at you that you’re in for an exhilarating ride.

‘They’re all stories that, through their seamless intermingling of a reality we can recognise with another, more frightening world, take on an almost fairytale-like quality, much as we see in Dickens’s A Christmas Carol; a story that has been retold many times yet, whether transformed into a modern morality tale or featuring Scrooge McDuck, it still taps into and excites our imagination.

‘How many versions of A Christmas Carol can you think of?

‘Chances are, you won’t be able to think of them all!’
