Guest Blog: Have the myth-busters gone too far? by Morgan St. Knight
Have the myth-busters
gone too far?
By Morgan St. Knight
I’ll be honest: this is a
hot-button issue for me. I’m a huge fan of classical mythology. I am not a huge fan of the whole
“reimagining” trend that seems to have skewed the portrayals of mythological
characters in print, movies and television these days.
I know I walk a thin line myself with some of
the creative license I take in my first book, “Curse of Prometheus: a tale of
Medea”. My interpretation of the myth of
Prometheus, not to mention the deaths of Medea’s children, is definitely
rewriting the standard storyline. Oh Muses, let me not be a hypocrite, let not
my own words come back to bite me in the posterior!
It’s not that I don’t understand
the need for reinterpretation to keep a story fresh and relevant for a modern
audience. I really do. But sometimes, it just goes too far.
So where do I draw the line? As the
late Supreme Court justice Potter Stewart said about porn, I know it when I see
it. My gauge is this: does the interpretation make me say: “Well, it could have happened that way,” or does
it leave me saying “No way, that’s absolutely ridiculous!”
For example, “The Mists of Avalon”
was a compelling reinterpretation of Arthurian myth that was absolutely
believable. I could see the story unfolding that way. Marvel’s interpretation
of Thor and the other gods of Asgard? Yeah,
I can buy it.
When does it cross into the realm
of the unbelievable? For me, it happens when a writer takes away the original
dignity of the mythological figures involved and reduces them to caricatures.
For classical mythology, the trend
started in earnest in the 1990s with the “Hercules” series starring Kevin
Sorbo, and continued with the spinoff series “Xena: Warrior Princess” and
“Young Hercules”. All of them reduced the Greek gods to one-dimensional clowns
or penny-dreadful villains who took delight in torturing humans for no reason. Aphrodite
as a Valley girl? Apollo as a surfer dude? And, most heinous of all, the
plotline at the end of the Xena series which allowed the gods of Olympus to be
killed. Just like that.
No, no, NO! The gods of Olympus are immortal. They do not die. But
writers jumped on that bandwagon, and now it’s become a feasible plotline when
dealing with Greek gods (look at “Wrath of the Titans”). Making the gods into
all-too-human characters who are quick with a wisecrack but can’t get out of a
locked closet (because humans don’t pray to them anymore, and that apparently
is the only source of their power) is a common trope now.
I know there are those who will
argue that making characters like Greek gods vulnerable is a necessary
adaptation. I attended a workshop taught by a writer who insisted that you
can’t have an immortal main character, because the reader needs the tension
generated by the possibility that the character could die. That same writer
also said you should never, ever write a book in the first person because that
character can’t die believably if you want to keep the first person narration
uninterrupted, so automatically the reader will lose interest.
I guess she never read “The Lovely
Bones” or “The Vampire Lestat”, both of which utilized first person. Both of which, if I remember, did very well in
book sales. So much for readers not being interested.
So yes, I may be a stick in the
mud, but when I write about the ancient gods in a modern setting, I intend to
keep their original majesty and power intact. I’m not going dumb them down.
It’s not about being stubborn or blindly adhering to some cannon. It’s about
getting creative with what is already there, rather than tossing out the basic
premises just because they pose challenges.
If you tell your guests you’re
serving hamburgers, then get good beef, mix in good seasonings, and fire up the
grill. Don’t head out to McDonald’s for the dumbed-down version of a good
hamburger. If you’re giving your readers Greek gods, give them honest-to-goodness
Greek gods, not watered-down clowns who couldn’t find their a** with both hands
in the dark.
As for the gods being immortal, as
many writers in the paranormal genre can tell you, there are far worse fates
than death, especially if you have to live that fate for eternity. In that
sense, the gods really do have it harder than the rest of us.

The ancient world's most notorious sorceress has just become the modern world's only hope for survival.
Book Description:
How do you fight a god of light who has been seduced by darkness? That’s the challenge Medea Keres must meet. Posing as a wealthy young heiress in modern day Atlanta, no one knows she is the original Medea, the sorceress from ancient Greek legends.
As priestess of the witch goddess Hecate, Medea is charged with hunting demons that would otherwise overrun the world. Now she must face a far greater adversary. One of the twelve shining Olympian gods has turned rogue, violating the edict against human sacrifice. As the body count quickly rises, Medea knows her enemy is getting stronger.
With the help of the underworld nymph Orphne and the hero-god Heracles, she must find a way to unmask the evil so that the other Olympians will take action.
But as she probes deeper into a blood-soaked labyrinth of suspense and intrigue, Medea finds a net of deceit and treachery that will require all of her cunning to escape.

Excerpt
Pasiphae
turned back to Heracles, her nose wrinkling instinctively at the sight of the
two corpses he was carrying, one slung over each shoulder.
“And
these would be?”
“Someone
I need help with,” I offered tentatively.
Circe
raised an eyebrow. “I know you understand the healing arts better than that,
Medea. These two are a long way past help and... Heracles, what are you DOING?”
Her
voice became progressively shriller as Heracles approached one of the hall’s
spotless divans. It was upholstered in beautiful pastel pinks and mauves.
“Just
putting these chaps down, my dear,” Heracles said cheerfully. I’d chosen the
least mutilated corpses among the field hands, but they were still quite a
mess.
“You
most certainly are not!” Circe’s golden eyes were already flashing. Heracles
froze in mid-stoop, quickly re-adjusting his balance to stop the bodies from
falling onto the sofa. I couldn’t help giggling a bit at the comic pose, but I
don’t suppose he saw anything funny about it.
“For
pity’s sake, it took me nearly a hundred years to perfect the magic to weave
dawn’s light into fabric. I will NOT have you putting those—things—on the
furniture,” Circe fumed.
She
turned to me.
“It’s
always delightful to see you Medea, and your friends,” she condescended to give
a slight nod towards Orphne. “And I realize you’re living a more Bohemian
lifestyle these days. But really! You can’t tell me your human friends would
appreciate you bringing two dead bodies when you come to call. Couldn’t you
just bring chocolates?”
“I’m
not going to leave them here, Aunt Circe,” I reassured her. “And I promise I’ll
bring some chocolates next time I come. But first, I need you to help me find
out something about them.”
She
snorted impatiently.
“They’re
dead and they’ve started to rot. There, that’s two things about them. Will you
kindly remove them now?”
I
smiled and shook my head.
“I
mean something specific. And you and Pasiphae are the only ones I know who have
the skill to do it.” I was buttering them up shamelessly, and they knew it.
Heracles
cleared his throat diplomatically.
“Not
that they’re really any sort of burden to me, but do you mind if I put these
fellows down now? I think one of them is seeping.”
Pasiphae
rolled her eyes. “Certainly, just toss them anywhere. We don’t mind oozing
corpses on the floor at all. Why not invite the Harpies over for a potluck
while you’re about it?” Now that was overstating the case a bit. The evil
half-bird, half-woman monsters were voracious eaters. If they left anything
uneaten, they fouled it with their shit out of sheer spite.
Circe
held up her hands in a gesture of defeat. “Just let me handle it,” she said,
facing Heracles and lifting her arms. The two bodies floated off his shoulders
and remained suspended in mid-air. He stood up, making
a relieved sound in his throat. Sure enough, there was a large smudge on his
skimpy outfit.
“Here,
let me,” I said. I went over and put my hand on the stain. Of course I could
have done it without touching, but what the hell, why not cop a feel if the
opportunity arose? The muscles of a god are nothing to miss if you get the
chance.
I
removed my hand after a few seconds, and the tunic was immaculate.
“Could
we please get back to the issues at hand?” Pasiphae interrupted as she gestured
towards the floating bodies. “What do you need us to do with those?”
“I
need you to bring them back to life, so they can tell me about their deaths,” I
said.
Circe
and Pasiphae looked at one another. Whether or not they were communicating
telepathically, I was certain they were thinking the same thing.
“Well,
that settles it. You’ve become completely unhinged.” Pasiphae said with
resignation. “Why would you bring two dead humans here for something that you
could just as easily ask Hecate to do? In the privacy of your own home, if
needed. You’re her priestess, after all. And if I’m not mistaken, she is an
underworld goddess, no? This should be a specialty of hers.”
“Yes,”
I admitted. “But I can’t get her involved just yet. I’ve got... a slight
problem to deal with.”
The
refreshments had arrived. Wine was being poured at a table surrounded by more
divans, and another nymph had brought in a tray of pastries soaked in honey.
Circe
gestured to the seating area, extending the move a bit to wave the bodies away
to a corner of the room. They hung like sulking children denied a place at the
grownups’ table.
“Tell
us all about it. And make sure to include all of the juicy details.”
I
wondered if she’d regret her invitation once she heard what I had to say.

Guest blog and Giveaway: Why I Write with Deanna Kahler
Why I Write
By Deanna Kahler
People write for
many reasons. Writing not only allows you to express your creativity, but is
also therapeutic and can help you deal with complex emotions. It enables you to
explore various concepts, live out your fantasies and temporarily escape to
another world. And for many, writing is just plain fun. However, there is a much deeper and more important
reason to put pen to paper. By sharing your words with the world, you can make
a difference in someone else’s life. This is why I write.
When I set out to
write my first book, From Pain to Parenthood,
I had a goal in mind. I wanted to share my life’s experiences in order to
encourage others. I had suffered two miscarriages and spent two years in the
adoption process, so I knew what it felt like to lose a child and long to be a
mother. I also knew that many people who were going through similar challenges
could be helped by what I learned. And they were! After I published From Pain to Parenthood, I heard from
readers who said I inspired them. They told me that my story gave them hope. It
was an amazing feeling to be able to touch lives. I quickly realized that I
must write more.
For my second book,
I tried my hand at fiction and wrote Echoes
of Paradise, which is a paranormal love story about the afterlife. The
interesting thing about fiction is that you can still share important messages
and inspire others with your story. It doesn’t have to be real to have an effect
on someone’s life. Many fiction books are thought-provoking and life-changing,
and they may include some of the author’s life experiences woven throughout. This
is definitely the case with Echoes of
Paradise. I had some interesting paranormal experiences that I believed
others would find intriguing, so I took a few of them and transformed them into
a story that many people can relate to. Again, I was able to inspire others.
I’m now working on
my fourth book, another paranormal novel titled Sara’s Soul, and I really enjoy what I do! What I learned from
writing books is that once you start, you just can’t stop. Words are powerful.
They have to ability to enrich lives, teach lessons, entertain and, in some
cases, can even spark a change in your career or life’s path. So when someone
asks me: “Why write?” I really can’t think of a good reason why not.

Book Description:
Connor’s dead. But she can still feel him. Is it just her imagination or something more? Celeste wants to know. And she’ll stop at nothing to find out.
A once-aspiring artist, Celeste is going through the motions of life. She’s stuck – in a job she doesn’t love, with a man who isn’t right for her, in a web of painful memories from the past. Adding to her despair is the sudden and unexpected death of Connor, her true love. As she struggles to make sense of the world around her, strange coincidences and mysterious events lead her to question her sanity. When the happenings persist, she wonders if Connor’s spirit is trying to tell her something. Her jealous husband Dave insists it’s all just her imagination. But when Celeste’s young son has an experience of his own, she is determined to uncover the truth.
Join Celeste as she risks her marriage, her career, and her own safety to escape the demons from her past and unravel the mysteries of life and death. With so much uncertainty, there’s only one thing Celeste knows: her world will never be the same.

Short Excerpt:
Celeste began sobbing uncontrollably. She struggled to see the road ahead of her through tear-filled eyes. The landscape became a fuzzy blur of moonlight and shadowy trees. The world around her spun into an unrecognizable mix of darkness streaked with occasional rays of dim light. As she drove blindly ahead, she felt as if she were plunging into nothingness. And she didn’t even care.
She would have continued in her oblivious state, but somehow, out of nowhere, she heard a very clear and distinct male voice pop into her head. She thought that surely she must have imagined it, because it sounded like Connor.
Pay attention.
Suddenly a deer darted out in front of her, its startled eyes aglow from the blazing gold headlights. Blood pulsed through her veins as she abruptly swerved her car to the right, narrowly missing the animal. With her heart still pounding, she took a deep breath and tried to regain her composure.
“That was close,” she said aloud to herself. “Stay focused, Celeste. Keep it together.”
Although she was alone in her car, she noticed a distinct presence. It felt like Connor was somehow with her. First the voice, and now this? Surely she must be losing her mind! Even so, she had an irresistible urge to talk to him. Maybe it was silly or useless, but she couldn’t fight this desire brimming inside of her. She didn’t just want communication with her deceased former love; she needed it—even if it was one-sided. She began to have a conversation as if he were right there with her.
“I’m so sorry,” she sobbed. “I’m sorry I didn’t stay in touch with you and try to be a part of your life in some way. I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you or able to help you. I’m sorry for the night I left you. I’m sorry I didn’t let you get closer to me or tell you that I love you. I’m just so sorry.”
Tears streamed down Celeste’s face like the rain on a shiny glass window, and she gasped for air. What she wanted most right now was to know that Connor still existed somehow, somewhere. She wanted proof that his spirit lived on. She wanted to know that he was alive and well in heaven. Although she had been raised Christian, her faith had faded as she’d grown older. Life’s circumstances, unanswered prayers, and the cynical, materialistic world around her had left Celeste with doubts and questions. She now wondered if God and the afterlife even existed at all. She wanted to believe. She just didn’t know how.
Right after she spoke to Connor, a song came on the radio. The words caught her attention, and she stopped crying long enough to listen. It was a tune by Nickelback titled “Someday.”
For a brief moment, Celeste noticed a tingling sensation run down her spine. She felt like Connor was speaking directly to her through this song. It felt as if he were trying to respond to her. Were the words to this song meant for her? Did he somehow hear her cries? Was he trying to tell her he was going to help her in some way?
“No,” thought Celeste. “You’re being ridiculous. This is all just a coincidence. Connor can’t hear you or help you—he’s dead.”
Somehow, even though her rational, logical mind told her this, her heart told her otherwise. Maybe Connor really was alive in the afterlife. Maybe he really could hear her. She needed to know the truth. She wanted answers.

Interview and Giveaway: No Biz Like Showbiz by Julie Moffett
Please share a little about yourself, your genres,

release.
NO BIZ LIKE SHOWBIZ is a geek’s perspective on a reality dating
television show. I put my self-conscious but brilliant geek girl, Lexi

show contestants, it’s game on!
Are you a mom?
I’ve got two
boys aged 7 and 18. I’m a single mom and they keep me very busy!!
If yes do you find it hard to juggle writing and
parenting?
Extremely difficult. The hardest part is finding quiet time to
write when I’m not already brain dead. J
Have you ever based your book or characters on
actual events or people from your own life?
Every book has characters to have my
qualities or those of people I know or have met. I always take from my own life
experiences to enrich those of my fictional characters.
Is there a theme or message in your work that you
would like readers to connect to?
It’s okay to laugh at yourself and with others.
What would your readers be surprised to learn about
you?
The CIA recruited me when I was in college studying the Russian

Okay, so it’s not exactly as it seems, but that’s what is happening on the dating reality television show called “Geeks Get Some” that I, Lexi Carmichael geek extraordinaire, am called to work on.

So what happens when I get there? Well, the producers convince me to continue my investigation from the inside. What should be an easy hunt for the hacker turns ugly when he sets his sights on me. Add to that a studio obsessed with ratings, a bunch of nerdy contestants, and my own confusing love life, and unraveling this mystery might make me a star—or get me killed.

Excerpt:
No Biz Like Showbiz . . .
My name is Lexi Carmichael and I have a problem with most of today’s television programming. Not because of the sheer implausibility of a majority of the shows—although that does factor—but because too many programs seem to feature a tech genius who can solve the problems of the world with one stroke of a keyboard.
Here’s how it happens… a tech head is desperately trying to hack into a system. Death, the collapse of the free world, or the apocalypse is imminent if he fails. (Yes, tech heroes always seem to be guys since I guess in Hollywood a woman doesn’t know her way around a keyboard.) He types commands frantically as the clock ticks down to Doomsday. As the scenario continues, our frazzled hero takes a moment to run his fingers through his perfectly styled hair before he types just one more command and bingo, he’s in. He’ll then have a whole millisecond to navigate a completely unfamiliar system, find the magic switch, and shut down the entire system in time to save the day, world, girl, whatever, with one stroke. All of this while the super expensive, cutting-edge government system or expensive black-market technology used by the show's villain will aid our intrepid hero by providing helpful visual prompts like Access Denied or Access Granted in big bold letters across the screen as he works his hacking magic.
Just shoot me.
I’m a real hacker and yes, I’m female. I double-majored in mathematics and computer science at Georgetown University and have spent most of my twenty-five years learning how to bypass cryptographic protocols, exploit system vulnerabilities, and finesse distributed denial of service attacks. I’ve never had to avert an apocalypse, but if I did, I’m pretty sure it would take more than one freaking minute, and I wouldn’t be worried about my hair while doing it. My first successful hack on a relatively simple system took five hours. It might have taken four, but my mom kept distracting me by yelling through my bedroom door that if I gave ballet class just one more try she’d give me a hundred dollars to spend however I wanted. So, watching these types of shows and movies is hard on both my nerves and stomach.
