I thought for the first ever blog post, I would tell you about how I came up for the idea of The Athene trilogy!

I've always been interested in greek mythology. It follows it's own set of rules, which seem to be do what ever you want. Children can be born from their fathers, your twin could be more than two years older than you...in greek mythology, literally anything is possible. Oh but the stories, jilted lovers, sea monsters, demons. They are truly epic and so fascinating. I've always been particularly interested in Athena. She is the goddess of intelligence and wisdom. She is also the goddess of war. A perfect warrior. One that can balance violence and wisdom. I kept turning the idea of a race of warriors blessed with Athena's abilities over in my head and BOOM! Goddess Blessed was born. As I got deeper and deeper into writing the story, I realized that it was going to take more than one book to really tell the story of Ophelia, Lucien and all of the Athene. That's how the series came to be. Book one, Goddess Blessed is out now (which if you're reading this, I'm guessing you already know!) and I'm currently writing book two, Goddess Marked. I'm only going to post about once a month (to keep writing the books!) and the blog won't always be about writing but I will occasionally post some sneak peeks into book two so make sure you subscribe to the blog on my website (www.theathenetrilogy.com) so you catch the sneak peeks and looks into this author's life!
