Chocolate Aphrodite

I don't remember what twisted strain of conversation lead to "chocolate Aphrodite" being today's warm-up topic, but I do know that the best way to a goddess's heart is to give her a milk-chocolate replica of herself. Better than flowers anyday.

I might color this whole thing when I get home. Then again, I might not.


and I did decide to color it. Now it's prettier.

  4. Please hurry, I love your books and I want to read the next one on Aphrodite. I have read all the others and they are super duper good and I love your series.
    Please keep writing your books.

    Why don't you write one about Helios next.

  5. Will Adonis and Anchises be in Aphrodite's book and what about Eros and Psykhe and the Graces?
    Please hurry and please tell me when it comes out!

  6. Oh, hey Jessica, I only just saw this-- it was on an older post so I missed it.

    Adonis is briefly in Aphrodite, Anchises will not (but will probably be seen in the next volume of Olympians, Ares). The Graces are heavily featured and are even on the newly revised cover, as is Eros, but I had to cut Psyche. I really wanted to do their story justice and simply didn't have the room-- hopefully in some other format.

    The book comes out in late 2013, early 2014.

  8. My sister, Monica, has an Mediterranean tan exactly like Aphrodite's. She also has long brown hair like Aphrodite. Her three BFFs (Blair, Fiona, and Emma) look just like the Graces. Oh and Aphrodite is my sister's fav goddess. What a coincidence!

    PS. Aphrodite (i called Aphy) is my 2nd fav goddess, the forgotten goddess Hestia is my fav.
