Would you consider hiring a small town Bostonian? I love writing mythological books and am working on an African Mythology story. (Unfortunately, that kind of defeats the purpose, as I am also a white American male.) XD
I would really love it though...

Also, I didn't realize how much research is required for a book like this. i've been gathering research for over six months. Plus, trying to put just the right twist to make it entertaining? DUDE! Its soooooo challenging!

I think perhaps with Rick Riordan Presents, maybe you should collaborate with authors to incorporate whichever mythologies to be part of your mythos.
