Free Fiction: Standing Up for Grace
Imperia Encanto, the oldest daughter of Prince Charming and Cinderella, can’t stop the girls at her exclusive private school from picking on her sister Grace. In her home Kingdom, Princess Imperia merely frowns to make everyone do her bidding. But in Beverly Hills, no one believes in fairy tales.
Too young to have magic, unable to charm like her father does, Imperia relies on something strictly American—her fists. But the punch heard round Los Angeles only makes matters worse. Imperia must make things right—even if she doesn’t want to.
“Standing Up For Grace,” the first Imperia Encanto adventure, showcases the difference between our world and the fairy tale world. The adventure stands alone, but fans of Kristine Grayson’s novel, Wickedly Charming, will note that this story takes place while the divorced Prince Charming falls in love—illustrating the difference between what kids tell their parents and what actually happens. Much like the difference between the fairy tale and the story behind it.
“Standing Up for Grace” by bestselling author Kristine Grayson is free on this website for one week only. The story’s also available as an ebook on Amazon, Kobo, iBooks, Barnes & Noble, and from other online retailers.

I can’t get the “send to kindle” to work on this story. I’ve tried on different days with different computers. ?
This story was only up for one week, Martha. It’s no longer available. I think the send to Kindle was out of order last week. Sorry!
I just bought it 🙂 But I see that send to kindle isn’t working on this week’s story either. That’s disappointing. 🙁
Glad you bought the story. Bummer on Send to Kindle. I’ll see what I can do when I get back from this convention. 🙁
Damn. Damn. Damnity-Damn.
I read this on Monday, and I really wanted more Imperia Encanto stories. Grudgingly, because I don’t want to read about Prince Charmings, I buy The Charming Way and Wickedly Charming e-books with the knowledge that Imperia figures somewhere in the mix.
I read the The Charming Way at the laundromat on Tuesday night. No Imperia, but it was fun, just long enough to keep me occupied from the washer loads to the end of the dry cyles. One question occurs to me. How does she expand this into a whole novel?
Well, now I know. I’ve just finished Wickedly Charming. I had things scheduled to do on Wednesday, lady. Please accept my heartfelt surly and resentful gratitude. Grrrr, thanks. Now I’m going to bed because I have twice as many things to do on Thursday than I expected.
(More Encanto stories, please!)
LOL. Thank you, Michael. That made my morning. And yes, more Encanto stories. They’re on my really-want-to-do list. 🙂 If you like Imperia, you might like Tiffany, Brittany, & Crystal, the Interim Fates. (Particularly Crystal.)
All your shameless marketing is in vain, mostly because I bought all three (and some others) immediately after I left that reply. So nyahh.
LOL. Thanks, Michael. 🙂
That was great! I’d love to see more stories in this series.
Thanks!
