because I love Hades and Persephone so much...

I've loved the myth of Hades and Persephone ever since I was a kid. So that's why one of my writing projects was doing a retelling of the myth in the form of my Seeds trilogy. I researched various aspects of the ancient world so that looked at one way, Seeds could be seen as historical fiction, with gods actually existing in our world. Worthy of Love and Khthonios were written with the same premise in mind and I am really proud of what I did with these novels and the world I created, and the stories I put in it.

I have one more book - Tapestry - set in this world, but I've always wanted to do science fiction and I have a couple of projects planned in that genre.

For a while now I've been batting around the idea of a science fiction version of Hades and Persephone. There's a fair amount of modern-day H and P retellings and I've enjoyed such stories from other authors, but you don't see much of fairy tales oe mythology in general in science fiction, and recently the idea has been really percolating and solidifying in my head for a fun science-fiction take on the myth of Hades and Persephone. Keep tuned!
