Book Description
Goddess Girls follows four goddesses-in-training – Athena, Persephone, Aphrodite, and Artemis– as they navigate the ins and outs of divine social life at Mount Olympus Academy, where the most priviledged gods and goddesses of the Greco-Roman pantheon hone their mythical skills. In each book, readers get to see how each goddess became who we know today. These much-beloved classic myths are given a modern twist and follow storylines familiar to modern tweens, from dealing with bullies (Athena and Medusa) to first crushes (Persephone and Hades). Athena the Brain follows Athena's first days at Mount Olympus Academy. She always knew she was smart and special, but she didn't realize that she was a goddess! When she's whisked away to MOA, she worries about fitting in and dealing with her dad (Zeus). Luckily, she meets the Goddess Girls and finds the best friends she's ever had. In Persephone the Phony, Persephone develops a crush on bad-boy Hades. Her mom (Ceres) doesn't approve, and neither do her friends. Persephone finds herself sneaking around to see him, but he ultimately tells her that she should tell them the truth and it's revealed that he isn't all that bad, just misunderstood! The GG support her and eventually her mom comes around too. Aphrodite the Beauty features Aphrodite, goddessgirl of love, as she deals with jealousy after giving Athena a makeover (godboys pay more attention to her!), and dealing with a crush from an unlikely place -- the nerdy Hephaestus (god of the smith).

The naive newlyweds believe their love can conquer all, but Jaysons older brother Stefano, patriarch to the Theonopilus olive oil fortune, feels otherwise.

Yet upon meeting Andra, Stefanos prejudice quickly turns to passion. He develops a powerful attraction to her, imagining her as the Greek goddess Aphrodite. Worse, Andra also finds herself drawn to the brooding, charismatic Stefano. But when Andra is kidnapped by a deranged serial killer, the brothers must put aside their differences and work together to rescue the woman they both love before she becomes the kidnappers next corpse. Aphrodites Stand shares the captivating tale of true love, forbidden passion, irrational prejudice and international intrigue where despite the stacking odds, it pays to take a stand for love.

Book Description
Set in Alexandria, the novel tells the story of Chrysis, a courtesan, and the sculptor Demetrios. A Galilaean with long golden hair (source of her Greek nickname), Chrysis is proud of her beauty and her skill at winning the devotion and servility of men. Demetrios, for his part, is worshipped by the women of the town, but has grown tired of their devotion. He has come to prefer his statue of the goddess Aphrodite even to his lover, Queen Berenice, who posed for it. Chrysis is the only woman who does not care for him; piqued into desire by her resistance, Demetrios is spurred to commit theft and murder for her, to win the three objects she demands in return for her charms: a rival courtesan's silver mirror, the ivory comb of an Egyptian priestess, and the pearl necklace that adorns the cult image in the temple of Aphrodite. As part of our mission to publish great works of literary fiction and nonfiction, Sheba Blake Publishing Corp. is extremely dedicated to bringing to the forefront the amazing works of long dead and truly talented authors.
