Sleeping Beauty has woken.
The world has been renewed.Everyone is living happily ever after . . .Almost.Sharp, blood-seeking thorns still surround the castle. A feud remains between those who wield magic and those who were subjected to it. And while the kingdom is divided against itself, nothing can thrive.A rebellion may be needed - and that's where Sleeping Beauty's daughter comes in . . .My plain words aren't enough to do this beautiful book justice, but what I can say is this: I implore each and every person to read this emotionally wrenching, bittersweet journey of a novel. A LONG, LONG SLEEP is easily one of the best novels of 2011 - THE BOOK SMUGGLERS
Few books affect me to the point of recommending them to everyone I know and coming back to me long after the last page has been turned. , with its haunting beauty and emotional devastation, is an exception. Keep an eye on Anna Sheehan; she's definitely a talent to watch - THE SF SITEAnna Sheehan has been a dedicated writer since her first year in high school, when her novella won second place in a local competition, losing only to a (now) professional mystery writer. Her first novel was published serially in a local newsletter when she was 16.

Anna lives on an isolated mountain ranch in central Oregon.
