So why do the Olympians not like Thanatos?
They’re afraid of him.
He carries around Kronos’s sickle, and during the war he aided the Olympians by killing every last one of the Golden Men.
He represents a fear that none of them are supposed to have: that the Deathless can die.
Ok so, I just read both books and I LOVED LOVED LOVED it!! Ahhh I can’t stop thinking about how amazing everything was!!! I’m so excited for book 3, it needs to come soon!!! But I’ll admit, holy hell, Demeter was super frustrating and so selfish. I just wa
I think Persephone let Demeter have it pretty good at the end of Destroyer of Light!
Something I love about writing The Good Counselor is watching their relationship heal a bit in the books. You’re going to see Demeter grow a bit and evolve over the course of the next book, and there is a free preview of The Good Counselor available here in the meantime.

Thanatos and HypnosIt’s been awhile since the last time I made a content about Receiver of Many. I bought the ebook version yesterday via Smashwords and it got me really nostalgic. Can’t wait for The Good Counselor. Hang in there @therkalexander!
(I still can’t believe that Hypnos is the older twin. Beauty sleep really does wonders huh.)

You’re assuming I have music on my computer, I can hit shuffle on. I could choose 10 random CDs.
Then choose ten random CDs you adorable Luddite!
How can we audition for the upcoming show?
Contact my EP Summer Helene via Twitter.
We’re not at the casting phase yet but believe me that I will definitely let everyone know once we get there.
Will The Good Conseller come out in 2019?
Probably not. I still have a lot left to write,and I want to make sure it’s thoroughly edited before I release it.

If I bake you cookies will you tell me what you know about the show? Also on a non-POO basis- how do you get your son to eat anything?
Ohhhh, I can’t say shit about shit. Not for all the cookies in the world. On a related note, here’s a pie I made last week…
But nope. I can’t say anything just yet. It’s too precarious, too nebulous just yet to have anything concrete to report until I retain an entertainment lawyer. And once I do that I will definitely let everyone know because that will mean the option will be on the table at the very least.
.
As for getting my son to eat…
I’m in a bit of an easy situation in that regard. He has my zeal for food, and my husband’s eerily high metabolism, so I’m effectively parenting a black hole.
An occasionally picky black hole.
I have a snack bag that I haul with us everywhere I go, replete with squeezey packets, Cheerios, snap pea crisps, veggie straws, cut up hotdogs or chicken, and leftover oatmeal or pumpkin pancakes.
I can get him to eat more variety at breakfast than I can at dinner, so I usually introduce whole fruits like blueberries, strawberries, peaches, etc at that point.
Lunch is either the disparate contents of the snack bag if we’re out and about, or a quesadilla or peanut butter sandwich when we get home.
My husband and I have started doing “afternoon tea” with him when he wakes up from his nap, because it helps quell the savage beast while I make dinner and still puts him in visual range of the kitchen. He likes chai or heavily milked, lightly sugared decaf black tea.
Dinner is tricky because he’s starting to fade and doesn’t have the patiences to get food on a fork or spoon. And if he had a snack at tea time he’s even less likely to eat his whole dinner. We feed him what we’re eating, and if he doesn’t want it I usually default to rice and lentils or mac n cheese.
And vegetables… which is always an uphill battle… I have a local farmers market I go to almost every week and basically set him loose there to pick out his own fruits and veggies. He used to hate peas until he found out that they could be picked out of a pod that he gets from one of my local farmer friends, and now he insists on them. But only if they’re still in the pod. He will eat zucchini, but doesn’t like it cooked; only raw. Same with carrots. He likes corn but only on the cob. And I’ve definitely hidden cauliflower in his fruit smoothies and spinach and kale in pesto sauce for his ravioli.
