MOTHER OF ROME in paperback!
Although Aphrodite in Pieces isn't published yet, I consider Mother of Rome my middle child -- the difficult one in my trilogy. Writing about motherhood isn't easy when you're an active part of the sandwich generation, both caring for small children and the parents who raised you.

"In Lauren J.A. Bear's tale of Aphrodite, we see her tale described to the artist depicting her. Her tale is powerful and moving, from the various ups and downs of her immortal life, especially in seeing men view her as an object and thing to be owned"

“Euryale could barely conceal the odium in her voice. “And their mothers allow you to enslave their children or leave them for dead?” “The mothers must survive in a world where men and gods—and men who think they are gods—limit their choices.” Charmion’s nostrils flared. “To have choices is to have power.
