Piracy is bad, mmkay. Especially for indie authors and artists. We work very hard on our product, and for many, this is our livelihood. If there was something at the store you wanted, but didn’t feel like paying for and you take it anyway, it’s called stealing.
#piracy#and for those with flexible gray areas#stealing from a publishing company vs. stealing from an indie author#is like#stealing a coffee mug from walmart vs. stealing a handmade coffee mug from a local vendor at a farmers market#walmart will tackle you and you’ll face a fine/jail and their loss won’t be very high#the local crafter can only yell ‘HEY!’ and hope someone helps them and their loss is a financial impact#similarly#stealing from an indie author literally takes food out of our mouths#most of us are our own marketing team#our own pr#our own agent#and our own legal team#and while DMCA can take down piracy#it takes a lot of time for one person to play torrent whack-a-mole vs. a giant corporation#that’s time we don’t get to spend writing the books you like enough to pirate in the first place#so think about impact before you pirateBecause these tags were a necessary addition to this post.

The marriage of Hades and Persephone blossoms...
The marriage of Hades and Persephone blossoms and their mysterious grove in the world below thrives…
…while the sunlit world withers.
Demeter holds out in Eleusis, pushing both mankind and the gods to frozen starvation in order to reclaim her daughter. The newly married rulers of the dead must reach an accord with Persephone’s mother to stay her deadly course— and come face to face with sacrifice, responsibility, and the balance of power among the gods.
Destroyer of Light concludes the erotic romance begun in Receiver of Many: a battle of wills among the gods is writ large across the dying earth, a cruel sorcerer-king faces his trial, and the King and Queen of the Underworld realize a destiny that the Fates alone could have foreseen.Destroyer of Light, the sequel to Receiver of Many, debuts on March 20, 2016. Available for Preorder in Paperback and eBook

Rachel Alexander did it again!!! Yes. That’s right. Here comes the Hades and Persephone nerding session!
Remember how I REALLY love the story about Hades and Persephone? Oh yeah, of course you do. I talk about them all the time. Well… Rachel Alexander released a book last year called Receiver of Many! AKA my favorite book. Receiver of Many was the story of how Hades and Persephone came to be husband and wife. After a few months of a rocky, but loving, marriage Persephone finds out that her mom, Demeter, has been starving the planet of crops, therefor starving livestock and humans. Demeter has been refusing to listen to Zeus, the ruler of the Gods and keeps starving the mortals out of her grief and fury for her only child was “kidnapped”.
Destroyer of Light starts where Receiver of Many left off. Persephone must make a choice in order save the lives of the mortals. The choice might mean that she has to give up her love for Hades. Balance must be restored and it is Persephone’s job to do it.

FAVOURITE RETELLINGS:
Of course the title for that, has to go to #rachelalexander’s wonderful retelling of the myth of #Persephone and #Hades. I’ve read nothing that can top, #ReceiverofMany and #Destroyeroflight.
I’ve read both of them when she was putting them out online, before she publishing. I haven’t gotten my copies of these babies yet, but I wiill soon enough, because “Destroyer of Light” is coming out this month!
