Oh also of course my book and its follow-up (a similar medieval queer romance/thriller) are also looking for a new home. This book’s sales INCREASED every year purely on word of mouth. Imagine what could be done with marketing. Captive Prince x Song of Achilles:

The House of Atreus trilogy comprises Clytemnestra’s Bind, Helen’s Judgement and Electra’s Fury. All three are ready to go. Currently writing a standalone retelling of a famous but lesser-explored Greek myth. #GreekMythology #HistoricalFiction #Retellings

I’ve just finished these two novels, which I enjoyed immensely. Very well-written and unique perspectives on familiar legends. I’m excited to see what the third will bring (hoping to return to Clytemnestra and the further fall of the house of Atreus).
