WOW – You guys are amazing! Loved seeing all of the posts and tweets with the For the Love of Hades book trailer – very cool! What do you think of the trailer?
Making a book trailer is so much fun. It’s part of the creating process – just like making inspiration boards. I’m kind of in love with Pinterst over allowing me the ability to make virtual boards versus the old print-cut-paste thing I used to do.
Want a glimpes of my Hades board… Here’s a particular favorite image of mine. It’s exactly how I imagined the firestorm that plays such a pivotal role in For the Love of Hades AND Medusa, A Love Story.
Excerpt time… I’m sharing a snippet that makes me giggle. Hermes is one of my favorite characters in the series… Oh who am I kidding? I really enjoy working with all of the characters in the Olympus series.
Excerpt:
“Is the impending marriage of a king and a Goddess frivolous?” Hermes asked. “Demeter requested you come.”
Hades felt a sudden weight upon his chest. “Whose marriage?”
“You know,” Hermes said softly.
Hades swallowed. “How will attending such festivities appease me?”
“If she means naught to you, as you claim, this will cause you no discomfort. Indeed it might do you good to see her wedded and bedded. You can move on, free of her.”
His breathing became challenged.
“Demeter wanted to thank you for shielding Persephone from Poseidon. She has arranged offerings for you at the celebrations.”
Hades wanted to hit something. Hermes was goading him, knowingly. He wanted to hit Hermes.
“Or you may stay here, reject the offerings, and brood over the loss of one that was never yours to lose. Not because she would not have you, but because you would not have her,”
Hermes finished, a taunting grin upon his face.
Hades roared, his anger evident, “You have come to torment me, then?”
“You’ve assured me you cannot be tormented.”
Hades stared at him, fighting his fury.
Hermes moved forward, picking up the sword Aeacus had left. “We could wager on it.”
“No.”
“If I defeat you, you will accompany me.”
“No.”
“If you win, I will never speak of Persephone to you again. Ever.”
Hades’ eyes narrowed. “Ever?”
Hermes lifted the sword, tossing the hilt back and forth in his hands. His face was expectant, enjoying himself immensely. “Ever. Though speaking of her should provide you no distress, considering your proclaimed indifference to her…”
Hades swung the sword, bringing it down upon Hermes with all of his strength. Hermes sidestepped the blow, laughing.
See what I mean? Love this excerpt…
Okay, onto the entry-earning tasks part of the post… Ready? I’ll go easy on you, promise.

Love these pictures. I’ll tell you all the mythology related stuff all over your guys’ blogs today is really rekindling my own interests (the interest never really went away but one of those out of sight out of mind things). I haven’t had much chance to check out your stories in depth yet (I will be at some point for sure though), but just based on my own impression of the Olympians I’d say that much of your casting is spot on. In searching for the answer for the Hugh Jackman question I came across your Poseidon casting and thought Gerard Butler a really really good choice for that particular persona. He does both calm and collected and wild (like the sea) quite well.
One of my favorite movies of all time is the most recent version of Phantom of the Opera with him in the roll of Phantom.
OOooh Anthony – I loved him in Phantom! And yes – he’s my character you love to hate… I’m a huge Gerard fan, I currently have Machine Gun Preacher lined up for tonight’s viewing.
I love Greek Mythology – perhaps a little too much. And I’m glad that exploring our posts has rekindled a passion – that is AWESOME!
If you do read Hades or Medusa, let me know. I’m all ears when it comes to readers thoughts and impressions. And Thank You!!!
What great pics! They are very inspirational! I love the characters. Good choices. I tweeted the link to all my followers. Good luck with your book.
Keep Writing!

Nice casting choices.
Shut the front door. Can’t believe I missed the contest, but I have to say your ‘Loves of Olympus’ covers rock, sister.
Don’t have Pinterest.
But the board makes me want to read the book!
Hi! I liked and shared! Thank you!!
