My novel Perseus should be going live on the Kindle Store and Nook in the next few days. It’s a retelling of the old Greek myth. I went through a bunch of the original versions of the story to get back to the basics, then added the important backstory of the internecine fighting between the Greek gods.

Excellent~
…and excellent timing, as I will be getting a device fit to read it on within the next two weeks.

…My Iconia A500 arrived yesterday, and this morning I got the Kindle App. First purchase? That’s right, you may begin appreciating me now~
I enjoyed the preview you posted, so perhaps it can be mutual appreciation.

Chuckle…you are duly appreciated. You can call it a birthday gift, if you like.
Thanks, man. If you like it, talk it up; we struggling artist need all the help we can get.

I finished Perseus on Monday, and enjoyed the read.
I see what you mean about the odd formatting the Kindle App causes – that must have been extremely annoying!
Your reworking of the tale put me in mind of the mood and fun-loving spirit of the first version of the tale I read when the dews of creation were still wet upon the Earth. I appreciated the addition of the interplay between the various deities, as well as the incorporation of modern dialogue with period attitudes. As a kid, I imagined that both Perseus and Theseus would be insufferable to spend any time with, but you managed to add a sense of humanity to Perseus which made him more interesting.
Good stuff~

Thanks, sir! I always wanted to flesh out the gods — they’re very human in some ways; Jung considered them architypal — but I wanted to make them strange enough to be new. Perseus in the old tales is a good man, much different from the later heroes. If this does well, I’m goung to take a crack at Hrcules.
And yeah, unless you bust down to the HTML the mobi format is a nightmarw to deal with. ePub works so much better.
