Behind the Scenes: Immortal Dreams
On the outside, there is nothing remarkable about Ellie Cavannaugh. Of average height, average looks, she is sensible and wholly competent.
But inside, she has the soul of a goddess.
Nik Deimos is a god. The son of Ares and Aphrodite, his duplicitous nature often has mortals cowering in fear or writhing in lust. Except for his personal assistant, that is.
She seems wholly unaffected. And it intrigues him. The more he learns about Ellie, the more he is convinced she was meant to be his.
There is only one problem: Ellie is already married.
Mythology has always been a favorite interest of mine, especially Greek mythology. I find it absolutely fascinating, and love to lose myself in tales of gods and demigods, heroes and heroines. But I also have a personal interest in it as well, because Greek culture is part of my ancestry.
Not only do I enjoy classical mythology (Perseus & Jason, I’m looking at you), but I like reading mythology-based paranormal romances as well. I mean, I love my shifters and vampires, but Greek gods and demigods? Sign me up, baby.
It seemed a foregone conclusion that I would eventually write one as well, creating my own heroes and heroines based on myths and legends and putting my own spin on things.
It started with a simple question: what if the ancient Greek gods of myths and legends were still around? (Yeah, I think about stuff like that). What would they do? Would they be all "look at me, I'm a god and I'm awesome" or might they have mellowed over the years and learned a little humility?
Enter Mystikos, the company founded and run by ancient deities incognito. Among those in upper management is one Nik Deimos, a terror of a boss (in human terms, anyway; as far as Greek gods go, he's pretty tame).
And, since every super powerful being needs an Achilles' heel (more myth!), I gave him Ellie, a completely ordinary human woman with superhuman patience and tolerance.
The result is Immortal Dreams: A Mythological Romance, a sometimes funny, sometimes heart-wrenching story about two people who should be together, but aren't.
But don't worry, I'm upholding my promises to deliver "happily ever afters, always" and "no cliffhangers, ever".

Happy reading!
