Wait so there will be eight books in total????
You're blessing us so well. Thank you!!
I better not die before I get to savour the remaining five 😭
Also in the initial chapters of The Good Counselor there is a reference to Poseidon raping Medusa/ chasing Athena's priestesses. Will we be seeing a feminist retelling of that too? I genuinely love how you write the women characters and goddesses as multi-dimensional.
It's really insightful how they are aware of the awful patriarchy that binds their freedom and know that there are limits to their resistance to it even if they are goddesses.
I have always felt that women have been condemned unnecessarily in mythology and history. So I liked the part in DoL where Persephone speaks for Pandora. So I guess I'm just eager to see how the other myths would be retold through your perspective.
Yes! There will be eight books in total.
I am not going to write a retelling of the Medusa story because it already took place before Receiver of Many.
However, my good friend Eris Adderly, @goldenapplegrenade is writing an erotic feminist Medusa retelling right now to be titled The Mortal Coil.
As to your second point, there is a lot that I have to say about that in The Good Counselor, and this exchange between Demeter and Hera in an upcoming chapter of my book definitely sums it up:
