Using my Ask Me Anything page, Scott asked, “When are you continuing the daughters of Zeus series? I’ve been dying to read more of it.”

Scott, I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the series! There is an Artemis series outlined and (very) roughly drafted. It took a back seat so I could pursue a different project, which I just finished yesterday. So, I’ll be turning my attention back to the Daughters of Zeus while that other project makes its way through the publishing world.

I never intended to go so long between series. I wanted to get one or two more books out that weren’t under the Daughters of Zeus umbrella as a bit of a palette cleanser between series, and to explore some other interests. The first of those books came out in April of 2019. I made pretty good progress through 2019 and 2020 before the world ground to a halt due to covid, which you would think would be great for writers, but surprise homeschooling my daughter for two years took a lot of my creative energy and time. Then when she went back to in person school, I got an amazing opportunity in my day job to shift from teaching to school librarian. I’ve absolutely loved every second of my new job, but it was also a huge investment of time and creative energy while I found my footing. There were also the typical personal obstacles in that span of time that compounded the delay. Some illnesses, some losses. Some major transitions.

But my daughter is now a thriving high school student, far beyond my ability to homeschool, I’ve had enough time at my new job to settle into a routine and not reinvent the wheel for every lesson and event, and while life always has fun curve balls ready to throw your way, with my working day finally stabilized, I’ve *finally* made my way back into a healthy writing routine. I’m super excited for my new project to make its rounds, and I’m ready to go back to the familiar world of the Daughter’s of Zeus.

In addition to Artemis, my daughter has recently become obsessed with Epic the Musical (which is amazing, and you should definitely check out if you haven’t yet.) and has been *begging* me to write a prequel series about the Trojan War with Cassandra, Helen, and Athena that she very much wants to lead into Athena’s point of view on The Odyssey. I absolutely love all the lore around the Trojan War, and I grew up on The Odyssey, but the amount of research that would have to go into that to do it justice is daunting, so for now, I plan to stick to modern day.

But who knows what the future will bring.
