I’m so excited to be a part of this hop! There are so many
new and exciting authors to get to meet. I’m glad you stopped by to say hi to
me today. I’m just an average gal with a very overactive imagination.
I’ve always been fascinated by myth and legend. At the top
of my list for fun additional reading in high school, was anything I could get
my hands on about the Greek gods and stories. Of course it didn’t stop in high
school and I’ve branched out from Greek myths, but they are still my favorite.
It was no surprise to me when the character for Aphrodite
popped into my head and began whispering stories in my ear. Pool of Souls was
born and Open House is the first in the series.
Pool of Souls Series revolves around the Titan version of
Aphrodite and her rocky relationships with the other gods on Mt. Olympus. Ares,
the god of war, is poised as her love interest and their story will unfold
throughout the series. Each book focuses on a pair of human souls Aphrodite is
trying to help form a bond. So the books flip back and forth between the two
plot lines.
Open House: Pool of Souls Book 1 is already released and the
next book in the Pool of Souls saga will release in a couple of months. I hope
you will love Aphrodite and Ares as much as I do. Here’s a sneak peek….
“Ditee,
what brings you to my doorstep?” Ares rose from his seat on a large chaise
lounge. He set the laptop on the cushion where he’d been relaxing. His gaze
swept over her figure with obvious lust. She ignored his heated stare and
didn’t slow her stride for a second. His eyes widened, and the corners of her
mouth curved upward into a smile. He was hers.
She
stopped a mere three feet from him and looked up. His six-foot, six-inch frame
would have been intimidating for most, but Aphrodite knew her power and used it
to her advantage. The pheromones wafting from her skin would have turned the
meanest ogre on the Olympus plane into a worshiping groupie. Ares’s immortality
offered him no defense. She was the daughter of a first generation Titan; even
Zeus himself had fallen sway to her charms on more than one occasion. He’d even
named one of his daughters after her. The young goddess was shallow and vain,
concerned only with physical pleasure and lust.
“Where
are Chaos and Strife?”
“Looking
for Stephen Ross.” Ares’s eyes glowed red in anger; he’d recognized her
pheromones and called up his powers to cleanse them from his system. “Shit,
Ditee! That’s not fair.” He growled and sat back down on the chaise. He snapped
open his laptop and flashed another angry glare.
“You
cretin.” Aphrodite snatched the laptop from his hands. She hurled it angrily
against the wall. It smashed into several pieces before falling to the floor.
“Call them back.”
“No.”
“Call.
Them. Back.”
“No,
I told you he was mine.” His smug look of satisfaction fueled her anger.
“No
one is yours, Ares, least of all a soul trying to bond with its mate. Your
lackeys will be sorry they interfered.”
Ares
shrugged and sneered. “It’s too late, Ditee. Pawns have already been put into
play, and your pieces will be dropping soon.”

Just a little about me.... Well, I was born,
raised, and currently live in TEXAS. I am married to a wonderful man who supports
my dream of writing and allows me to spend many evening and weekend hours glued
to my laptop. During the day I moonlight as an elementary music teacher. In
addition to a doting husband, a young daughter is also part of the picture and
keeps us both hopping! An ornery little Welsh Corgi completes our
household.
