Book Description
Five stories, five women, five legends. Phaedra, a Minoan princess, marries out of duty and to safeguard her precious home. She falls in love with Hippolytos, her husband’s son and asks the Goddess Aphrodite for help. He spurns her affections. The Trojan War, one of history’s greatest stories ever told. What if the legend as told is wrong? History is told by the victors, and facts changed to twist the truth. Is it possible Helen of Sparta never went to Troy? Hera, Queen of the Gods, is the most powerful goddess on Mount Olympos. For the first time ever in a candid interview, Hera shares what it’s like to be a goddess and wife to Zeus, the King of the Gods. Created by the gods as a gift to humanity, Pandora is the first woman on Earth. Did she know what Zeus intended when he presented an urn as a wedding dowry to her husband? Neither she nor Epimetheus knew what it contained, but they were told never to open it. All Medousa wanted was a life of love and acceptance but one fateful night it changed. While she’s alone in the Temple of Athene tending to the sacred fire, Poseidon pays a visit. No human can stop an immortal from taking what they want.

Book Description
All myths skew the truth... Two thousand years ago, Eros met Psyche. Against terrible odds, romance bloomed, and their love became legend. Two thousand years later, they've yet to find their happy ending. When it looked like Aphrodite would lose her son, she placed a curse on Psyche. To break it, Psyche must make it through three tasks. If she doesn’t, she dies before her twenty-fourth birthday and is forced to reincarnate years later. In each lifetime, Eros finds Psyche, but he never keeps her for long. Fearful his love’s spirit will spend eternity without rest, Eros starts to lose hope. Just when he reaches his breaking point, he discovers that he can end the curse. But to beat his mother, the unthinkable must happen. Eros must become mortal. As he discovers this, a new cycle of his mother’s curse begins. This time not only does Eros have to deal with his waning godhood, but he must also compete with another for Psyche’s love. To make matters worse, Psyche can’t discover Eros’ identity before he’s mortal, or she’ll suffer a fate worse than Tartarus could devise. One way or another, in fourteen days, Aphrodite will lose. Can Eros hold onto his sanity while he does what no god has done before him? Can he keep Psyche safe while also stealing her heart? Will the lovers finally be together?

Curse of the Bearded Girlfriend

ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
"The Curse of the Bearded Girlfriend" is a tour de force of a coming of age novel set in the twilight of the hippie era. The voice is of a grown man looking back on the adventure of his life when he was 17. With a friend, he set out on an epic quest across the country via their outstretched thumbs. The journey turns dark after they hitch a ride with a young woman whose mental state rapidly deteriorates. While black comedy, this story is also a painfully authentic portrayal of a teenage boy grappling with his budding feelings of lust, love and the distinction between the two. Think of Curse as a modern day "Portnoy's Complaint."

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
A highly entertaining novel set in North London, where the Greek gods have been living in obscurity since the seventeenth century. Being immortal isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Life’s hard for a Greek god in the twenty-first century: nobody believes in you any more, even your own family doesn’t respect you, and you’re stuck in a dilapidated hovel in North London with too many siblings and not enough hot water. But for Artemis (goddess of hunting, professional dog walker), Aphrodite (goddess of beauty, telephone sex operator) and Apollo (god of the sun, TV psychic) there’s no way out... until a meek cleaner and her would-be boyfriend come into their lives and turn the world upside down. Gods Behaving Badly is that rare thing, a charming, funny, utterly original novel that satisfies the head and the heart.
