Tell us about your new novel, Persephone Plus
Persephone Plus is a modern retelling of a Greek Myth that a lot of people don’t know about: Persephone’s fight with Aphrodite over the mortal Adonis.
In this short story, both Goddesses have been banished by Zeus to modern day academia and given a year to negotiate their mediation.
We join Persephone at the end of her journey and get to see her dynamics with both her husband, Hades, and her partner, Adonis. Its an engrossing tale with a happily ever after for those who just want to read and run, but readers who find themselves wanting more of Persephone’s world can look forward to the release of Persephone Plus: Seasons of Change on Kindle Vella this summer.
What did you edit out of Persephone Plus?
There are SO many back stories in Persephone Plus that didn’t end up in the final draft. I wrote it as part of a submission for another project, but ended up cutting so many of my desired sub plots due to length, that it was almost impossible not to turn it into a full-blown serial.
My favorite non spoiler that was cut from this story was the fact that Hades had his mortal father sent to the Underworld a little ahead of schedule in order to gain more freedom during his time in the modern world.
