This audiobook project would not have been possible without two of my talented friends! We all met in the Sound & Lighting Department at Medieval Times in Schaumburg, IL and it’s amazing to come back to together and see how far we all have come.
Thank you to Elizabeth Sample for audio production, editing, mixing, soundscape design, and mastering—not to mention some exquisite narrating!
Thank you to Zach Bridier for his audio production support when recording my portions of narrations! Check out his work at captiveportalmusic.com.
Interested in having your book turned into an audiobook?
What if you never become the hero of your own story?
What if the spark you’ve been chasing has been hidden inside your favorite stories all along? What if it’s been waiting for you to notice it–so you could write your next chapter with purpose?
Whether you’re a daydreaming bookworm, a dice-rolling dungeon crawler, or a burnt-out survivor searching for meaning, Fight For Your Fairytale invites you to view your life as the epic quest it truly is.
Blending the heart of a memoir with the tools of self-help and the magic of fantasy, writer and editor Colleen H. Ochab doesn’t just share her story–she hands you the tools to shape yours–not as a side plot, but as a hero’s journey worth fighting for.
Through raw and honest storytelling, Colleen shares how she battled breast cancer, creative doubt, and imposter syndrome in her twenties–using the same strategies that shaped her favorite fictional characters. Throughout the adventure, she gives you actionable guidance to uncover your “life’s fairytale”, set meaningful goals, and face your real-life dragons with courage and clarity so you can fly with them rather than fight them.
Because the fairytale in your heart isn’t a fantasy–it’s a challenge. A calling. A fight. And it’s time to pick up your sword.
Available now in e-book, paperback, and hardcover, and audiobook formats.
What People Are Saying About Fight For Your Fairytale
Giving Back: A Personal Quest
“Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.”
- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
Fight for Your Fairytale was born from battle—written in the quiet moments between appointments, scans, and treatments at Alexian Brothers Hospital Cancer Center. That’s where I fought for my own fairytale, and it’s where many warriors continue theirs today. In honor of that fight, 10% of all profits from this book will be donated to support cancer patients at the Alexian Brothers Hospital Cancer Center in Illinois. Your purchase doesn’t just fuel your story—it helps others keep writing theirs. Thank you!
