Heather asked Emily Roberson:

Do you think you'll write more contemporary-ish Greek myth inspired stories like LOGM?

Emily Roberson Yes, definitely, I don't feel even close to done. In fact, my current (secret) WIP is another myth, one of my oldest favorites. The challenge is figuring out a way into them. I want to tell the story in a way that hasn't been done before. For LIFESTYLES, the key was Ariadne. Her voice came to me from the beginning, and I knew with absolute certainty that she wasn't someone who would fall instantly in love with Theseus. Not that she wouldn't think he was cute, but that there was no way she was handing over her thread right away. For the new one, I'm still finding my way.

I have so many ideas. One of my back burner, someday/maybe goals is to do a retelling of the story of the origins of the Trojan War. I have many thoughts about the generals and Iphigenia and the rush to war, but I don't quite have my way into that one yet.
