Dear Victoria, My name is Helena Sánchez, and I am a Ph.D. student. I have found your novel, Clytemnestra: The Mother’s Blade (2017), to be a significant contribution to my work. I am writing to kindly request an interview (in Google Docs format). Would you be interested in helping me? If so, please let me know. Thank you!
Victoria Grossack Hi Helena - sorry, I just saw this. You can reach out to me more directly at grossackva@yahoo.com if it is not too late. Victoria

Hi! I recently stumbled across The Road to Thebes on Kindle Unlimited. I am surprised I had never heard of it. I loved it. I devoured the remaining 5 Tapestry of Bronze books. They were all great. I love how you found realistic explanations for some of the more outlandish greek myths, while remaining true to the stories. Are you and/or Alice Underwood writing more about the ancient world any time soon? I want more!
Victoria Grossack Hi Angela - thanks for the kind words! Alice and I are working on getting our books recorded at the moment, but we are not currently working together on anything new. If that changes, we will try to let you know. Victoria

Dear Victoria, I am writing a book about Pelops for the series Gods and Heroes of the Ancient World. As there will be a section about the afterlife of the mythical hero and I found your recent book on the internet, I would be happy to learn more about it and of course about you as well. Would you be ready to share some additional information? Please let me know via email or facebook or academia.edu. Many thanks
Victoria Grossack Sure. If you find me on facebook, you can send me a direct message with your email address and I will contact you.

I am loving meryton murder! are there any more coming out? i am enjoying it alot!
Victoria Grossack Thanks for asking! In the same genre, I have written "The Highbury Murders: A Mystery Set in the Village of Jane Austen's Emma."

I have glimmers of ideas for others, but they're going to take some head-pounding before I figure them out.

Note that I have written several Greek-mythology based books, such as "Jocasta: The Mother-Wife of Oedipus," but that they are very different. I think they're good, but readers should not expect them to sound like Jane Austen.

Will you be writing any more books like the Highbury Murders using JA other characters? I love the Highbury Murders and read it in one sitting.
Victoria Grossack Hi Nicole D.! I am so glad that you have asked that question. You are the first one to ask it at GoodReads, but you are not the first to ask it in my life. My husband, my agent, and a number of reviewers at Amazon have also asked it. For a long time the answer was "No," because I could not see an opportunity in any of Austen's other novels - certainly not like there was in "Emma" - and I respect Austen too much to force a story on her works. However, at long last inspiration came and I am well into another Austen-based mystery. And as I am having even more fun writing it than I had writing "The Highbury Murders," I think it will work out well. I will let you know when it is available.
