Lots of talk on Tumblr about the unfairness of casting Hades as the antagonist and a sort of “devil”. My friend Eva Pohler has cast him as a concerned father, and later an ally in The Gatekeepers Saga. The first book of the saga is FREE in our Gods and Mortals box set (available on Amazon U.S., U.K., CA, AU, Kobo, B&N, iBooks and Google Play.)

Modern myths and angels!

So that thing I did with my friends? It’s now free at Amazon U.S., Amazon U.K., Amazon CA, Amazon Australia, and Amazon Germany (and GooglePlay, iBooks, Kobo, B&N, and Smashwords too, and YES those file types will load up onto your Kindle.)
If you BOUGHT this box set, please do me a favor. RETURN IT (instructions how to here). The other authors and I are feeling terrible that some people in some countries have purchased it. We live all over the world, and have fans all over the world, and hate that Amazon selectively made it free in the U.S. and not other countries until we badgered them about it.
Is there a country where it’s not free? Let me know so I can send Amazon spreadsheets showing how people on GooglePlay are downloading it free all over the world.

my cousin sent me this picture of elsa from frozen and he claims it’s frozone? what the hell? it’s obviously elsa
When he couldn’t find his super suit, Frozone was forced to let it go.
I approve of this myth mashup

….maybe that’s why I listen to Skyrim and Mass Effect when I’m writing.

Just going to leave that there for anyone who needs it
this is true. whenever i study, write, or other university things, i always listened to game music, film musics and classical. (and maybe a playlist of adventure time and starwars). it makes me super focused!
More advice from a gamer and psych major. Make two playlists! One with the softer, more flowing music, like what you hear while traveling in a game. Name it “Field music.” This kind of music is supposed to just keep the flow as you travel in the game and it keeps pressure even.
Now take all the high-intensity battle music and make a playlist called “Boss Fight.” This music is supposed to make you feel just a bit desperate, but also empowered and badass. This is good for VERY CLOSE DEADLINES and “HOLY SHIT THREE PARAGRAPHS TO GO I GOT THIS.” It helps you get reenergized and gets you pumped to push through the last bit.
This is how I study and write papers.
For those of us who like lyrics, pick something NOT in the language you are writing in. When you’re writing in English and listening to English music it lowers your ability to write as well as you could because your brain is also interpreting the music.
Holy cow this really works! Best writing day in a while even though both of my kids were home sick and I was repeatedly called up for drink refills and requests for buckets (thankfully, the bucket requests were in vain and the gastroenteritis is leaving our house).
