Sorry if you’ve been asked this already, but will there be a chance to get signed copies of The Good Counselor?
I have a standing deal with Coastside Books, a local shop in my area, where I sign books and they are willing to ship them to you ANYWHERE. Anywhere in the US, anywhere internationally.
And outside of shipping and handling, there’s no added cost tacked on to get signed copies of my books. I just crawl out of my bog and go down there every so often to scrawl my signature on a handful of books, and they’ll handle the rest. My way of supporting a local business and circumventing the Amazon monolith.
I will let everyone know as soon as paperbacks can be preordered through their store.

The sanctuary of Artemis at Brauron, situated in one of the few wetlands of Attica. Artemis was the goddess of wild nature, but she was also worshiped as a kourotrophos (“child nurturer”, a name given to gods and goddesses who were believed to protect young people). A maturation ritual for young girls, the Arkteia, was said to take place at Brauron. Before puberty, Athenian girls would stay in the sanctuary for a time and serve Artemis as arktoi (“bears”) in order to be prepared for marriage and motherhood.
The archaeological site and museum at Brauron didn’t seem to be much frequented, which was a shame since it was a really nice place (it was a little bit difficult to find the way to it, though).

One who is twice woven, cannot remain your own. Two the ether bound, who shines the torch in darkness. Three the blessed harbinger who reaps the reaper’s heart.
Nearly a century has passed since Hades and Persephone’s children were foretold, but their efforts to conceive have been in vain. A secret rite on Samothrace conducted by the gifted hymnist, Orpheus, might finally bend the will of the Fates and give the King and Queen of the Underworld everything they have ever dreamed of, or pave a path of unimaginable suffering.
Hades and Persephone’s sway over the mortals has only grown, drawing the covetous attention of the Olympian gods. When a hastily made oath, a silver lyre, and the returning restless dead put the gods below at odds with Olympus, it could shatter the peace that has existed between the realms since the Titanomachy.
The Good Counselor continues the erotic Underworld romance that began with Rachel Alexander’s highly-acclaimed novel, Receiver of Many.
