New Title: The Nine Muses (Coming Soon)

Hi everyone,

I have been working on a fun new project that I wanted to share with you all. The story will be based on Greek mythology. The release date is soonish (October 16th). Check out what I am working on below 😊

Thank you for reading and I hope that you have a great day!

The Nine Muses by Aisha Urooj

They say Muses inspire the greatest of artists, artisans, thinkers, and poets, but what inspires them?

The nine daughters of Zeus are struggling with their talents, so their father orders them to go to a mortal high school. The muses are not amused at being sent to the mortal realm to find inspiration. Thalia, the muse of Comedy, proclaims that ‘High school is where creativity goes to die’. Her sisters agree, but is she right?

Will Zeus’s experiment work? Will the visit spark his daughters’ interest and inspire them to do their best, or will this be the end of creativity, as we know it?

The humans will meet the Muses for the first time. Perhaps the greater question is: Can the mortals survive the nine feisty daughters of Zeus? Or will they fall victim to their mischief?

Don’t miss this fun new release!

The Nine Muses- Coming soon!

My newest book is about the nine muses. The nine muses, goddesses in Greek mythology, each inspire a special talent.

According to Greek myth, these nine sisters rule over the arts and sciences. They are the deities of song, dance, and memory, who give the gift of creativity, wisdom, and insight to a fortunate few.

Polymnia is the goddess of hymns, who is often seen wearing a veil in her depictions. I imagined her to cast a spell over the mortals with her beauty. In my story, she has many admirers.

Erato is the goddess of love poetry. Based on her talent, I made her a hopeless romantic and popular with suitors as well.

Clio is the goddess of history, who carries with her a scroll. Based on that, I saw her as a meticulous note-taker, practical, and an analytical thinker. In my story, she becomes obsessed with board games and puzzles.

Melpomene is the goddess of tragedy, who wears a tragic mask. I imagined her as introspective and quiet.

Terpsichore is the goddess of dance. I imagined her dancing everywhere she went, and having fun learning new dance moves from the mortals.

Urania is the goddess of astronomy, who carries a globe. I wrote her as someone whose eyes are always searching the stars, and one who quickly joins the astronomy club in the mortal high school.

Thalia is the goddess of comedy, and keeps a shepherd’s staff. To me, she is the queen of funny (and punny) jokes.

Euterpe is the goddess of music. You won’t find her anywhere without her flute… which becomes a problem when Headmistress Ehtel confiscates it.

That leaves Calliope. Goddess of epic poetry. The ringleader. The chief of the muses. Zeus’s most troublesome child. In my story, she is feisty and outspoken. A rebel who refuses to do as she is told, but does as she feels.

I hope that you grab a copy of The Nine Muses 😊

Release day: The Nine Muses

It is here!
The Nine Muses by Aisha Urooj
Today’s the release date for The Nine Muses! 🎊

I told you about the nine muses in my previous email. (If you missed it: https://preview.mailerlite.com…)

But what’s a story without a villian?

Or is it, what’s a villain without a story?

Boredom and monotony can sap the creative energies of our muses, but what if there was a real external threat?

Their father, Zeus, god of thunder, has many enemies including sibling rivals, Hades and Poseidon. Their mother, Mnemosyne, is titan goddess of memory herself!

The muses themselves, however, also have rivals.

So, who is the villian of the story?

(And who would want to mess with such a powerful family? And why?)

I can’t wait for you to find out!

I promise the reveal will be epic 😎

The Nine Muses is a myth retelling of the Greek goddesses of arts, inspiration, and poetry.

Ebook is only $0.99 for a limited time. The Nine Muses is available on paperback.

In other exciting book news: I received an update my book, The Stone Mermaid, is now available on audible and iTunes. The narrator, Dante E. Chandler, did a phenomenal job capturing Victor’s alluring voice.

New fantasy release!

New release!

The world fears them, for they possess the power to shape destinies: Lachesis, Klotho, and Atropos. Yet, what truly strikes fear into the heart of one of the three Fates? Her own sisters.

The weaver, Lachesis, has fallen in love with a mortal and is terrified her other siblings will find out. What is thicker than blood? Could it be love… or does family and duty triumph over everything else?

Who is the mysterious stranger that has captured her mind and soul? Even Lachesis isn’t sure. She hopes the inflexible one, Atropos, never finds out or she will cut his life cord away. Her other sister, Klotho, will rewind the thread and make it seem like he never existed. Does Klotho already know and has been keeping quiet, or has she been neglecting her duties, too?

Despite the danger, Lachesis plans to see him again tonight and steal a few moments away with her beloved. But her heart is in flux. Her lover said he has something important to ask of her. What could it be? Will he finally reveal his true identity… or will Lachesis discover something she wishes she had never known?

Book release day ✨️

Dear readers,

My new book, The Seven Pleiades, is now available! Thank you everyone to those who purchased! I hope that you enjoy it 😊 This book is the darkest in the Sisters of Mythology series, based on the original Greek mythology. Here is the blurb in case you missed it:

In the shadowed depths of the cosmos, Atlas suffers an eternal punishment—trapped beneath the crushing weight of the world, his torment silent and unending. Without him, his seven daughters, the Pleiades, are left unprotected and utterly vulnerable. As daughters of a primordial Titan, their ancient lineage haunts them; their bloodline is a curse—a whisper of lost power and judgments borne.

The other gods have shunned the seven sisters entirely, their gaze recoiling from their plight, leaving them to navigate a treacherous landscape of despair—left to fend for themselves alone. Artemis, their steadfast protector and cherished benefactress, battles tirelessly in their defense, however, her efforts are futile against the mounting threat.

In the brutal game of life, you are either the hunter or the hunted. As the Pleiades face their most formidable foe and unwittingly become prey in his deadly pursuit, they are left to wonder: who, if anyone, will save them now?
