I got MAJOR Leo ♌️ vibes from that Apollo scene. Which is interesting bc Apollo is the God of Light which basically represents the sun and in astrology Leo is ruled by the Sun! Would it be okay to presume I get Scorpio vibes from Persephone and kinda Ta
I think you’re right on with the Leo for Apollo and the Taurus for Hades. I think it would be ridiculous if I made Apollo anything but a Leo, honestly.
Hades is absolutely an earth sign, can’t really be anything but, and I hadn’t really pinned Persephone for being a Scorpio but it makes some amount of sense.
I’m going to put that one out to everyone who follows me… what signs would you attribute to the major characters in my books?
So awesome to hear about your book. This is a life goal of mine and you're DOING it! It's really amazing that you've come this far and are going even FARTHER! Congratulations and good luck!!!
Thanks but I think you may have intended this for @therkalexander? I can’t even write paragraphs of coherent story :)

Yes, ARCs, says I. 🧐As in Advanced Reading Copies of The Good Counselor when they become available.
O H ??? ARCs, YOU SAY??? 👀👀
There will ABSOLUTELY be physical copies! I will have trade paperbacks for The Good Counselor available for preorder as well as ebooks for preorder on all the usual platforms.

There are 24 chapters in this book and it stands at over 105,000 words. I am almost done. As soon as it’s finished, I’ll to post a preorder link on Kindle and commission a cover from Morgan, who did the first two covers.
I cannot believe it’s this close. Five years after publishing Destroyer of Light Six years after publishing Receiver of Many,
And you’re finally going to get to read the next book in the series:

the sound I just made was inhuman. I’m SO EXCITED!!!!!!
Will we be able to pre-order physical copies, or just the Kindle version? 👀
And I have plans to send out signed ARCs to folx who‘ve been with me since the Receiver of Many Kickstarter days to live blog / live tweet as they read it (without spoilers, hopefully).
As it happens, I am just one of those folx. Where does one apply to receive such a treasure to live blog/tweet and flail over? (With no spoilers, because that’s mean)
So if you were part of the original Receiver of Many Kickstarter at any donation level and want to participate, HMU over DMs either here or on Twitter with a physical address to which to address the signed copy of The Good Counselor and I’ll send it as it gets closer to the release date.

I can’t wait!!! I read these books as fanfiction y'all (and purchased the books later to read many times again). They are so beautiful and honestly the best interpretation of my favorite myth. I love how you feel placed into the ancient world but the characters are also very human. Receiver of Many will always have a special place in my heart.
If the gods exist as reflections of what the natural order is (or what the patriarchs of the ancient world proclaimed to be the natural order, as benefits them), then it would appear that as the king beneath the earth, Haides being older than Zeus refle
That is absolutely going to be answered in my Hades and Persephone book series as it goes along! And no, The Good Counselor is not the last book in it.
