Wow!!! Omg the whole scene with them squad was so amazingly amazing
Gotta be honest, it was SO much fun to write the Underworld crew fucking around with Hades and Persephone, and entirely borne out of a headcanon I had while writing Destroyer of Light.
I’m glad you liked it too. I also needed (not just for the book but also for me) a lighthearted interlude in the middle of all the super heavy themes currently being kicked around in The Good Counselor.
Thank you so much on the well wishes.
Last night I had a conversation with my producer, and while I can’t disclose who gave her a ‘soft yes’ for the TV series, but let’s just say that their interest that it immediately piqued the interest of another major content outlet, who is also interested in the project. And now they want a season overview and a scripted pilot. (!!) So I’m going to work with a screenplay writer this month and produce A PILOT FOR PAWNS OF OLYMPUS.
I also need to make a 30 second elevator pitch video for why my books should be made into a TV series. (halp!!) Which totally isn’t nerve wracking at all
Hey hey!! I'm a big fan of yours and follow your blog all the time, and it seems like you get a lot of the same types of questions. Is there any way to make a FAQ POST or if you have it post a link for it pls?
Yeah, I haven’t had time to put one together

I’ve read so many books where the author teases the reader with the possibility of ass play in the future and I read that bit in your book and was like, this is never going to be mentioned again, is it? Then I found A First Press of Olives on AO3.
Yay thank you!
After I did the little tease for ass play in Destroyer of Light all I could think about was how that would end up going down (of course she would initiate?),
couldn’t get it out of my head (but what do they use for lube in Ancient Greece?),
and those two ideas promoted me to write something pretty delightfully dirty (meh, no one’s going to want to read this WAIT YES THEY DO uh oh I think I pushed the envelope too far this time OK SO THEY LIKE IT WHEN I PUSH THE ENVELOPE)
and I haven’t looked back since
How is Hades relationship with Dionysus? I imagine a lot of eye rolling
You’ll see.
What do we say to the god of death?
Persephone: knock knock
Hades: who’s there?
Persephone: it’s September hope you’re ready to bang like a screen door in a hurricane

So a few years back, the company POM started following my blog (prob. because I post lots of pomegranate images. I don’t know if they do anymore). BUT I write erotic fantasy romance about Hades and Persephone banging like screen doors in a hurricane. I don’t think they knew what I wrote about, honestly. But from then on, when my friends and I bought POM we would always say…
POM. A family company.™

“I’m not anyone,” Zeus muttered. “I’m her lord husband and more importantly her king. This has to end.” Her loom was empty. He entered the moonlit courtyard. No Hera. And checked the upstairs gynaikeion. No Hera, again. At least Iris had stopped shadowing him. He couldn’t stand that girl. She possessed all the joy of someone who had shoved an unripened fig up their anus.
