A New Release!

Hi friends! 

I've been on Sabbatical for the last couple years, and I'm still not fully back, but I'm excited to reveal I'm working on a new paperback release collecting my short fiction: OF GODS AND MORTALS --here's the copy!

Two Novellas and Two Short Stories, previously digitally published or otherwise released independently, now collected together in print for the first time, including:

The Lion of Troezen
Ariadne and the Beast
King of the Lapiths
The Siren’s Song


From the conception of Theseus to Odysseus’s passage home in the aftermath of the Trojan War, this collection brings together the stories of three incredible women, and one forgotten son, oft overshadowed by the larger heroes and villains with whom their myths intersect, while exploring the depth of faith in themselves and the gods they both serve and defy as they claim their fates.

Fans of Madeline Miller’s CIRCE and Natalie Hayne’s A THOUSAND SHIPS will find the richly woven narratives of Aethra, Ariadne, Polypoetes, and Aglaope compelling additions to their collections of mythic retellings.

I'm doing final proofs now and tentatively planning an August/September release! Cover Coming Soon!

This will be a companion in style to my Dillin paperback collection, OF GODS AND JOTUNS, which also contains a little taste of historical/mythic retelling outside of the Aegean Bronze Age along with more contemporary fantasy works.
