Author Joshua Rivoli and his new book "Gods and the Dust" |
Comic-Con . In today's blog I want to tell you about an author named Joshua Rivoli, whom I talked with and found the concept of his book fascinating (of course I bought one).
THE BOOK: Gods and the Dust: Greek Mythology as a High Fantasy Epic - The author described the book to me as putting all of the Greek myths together as one cohesive storyline. The myths were all written separately, and never had a common thread connecting them, until now! As a fan of Greek Gods and Goddesses, I had to buy this!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Greek mythology is stranger than you might think. This dramatic fantasy novel collects many stories from the ancient sources and strings them together as one fluid plot, fleshing out the sparse details for a modern audience. At the dawn of time, the Earth and Sky mated to populate the world. Their most powerful children are the gods and goddesses – living personifications of all things great and small, physical and conceptual. These powerful deities have human emotions that drive them through an interconnected string of relationships and misadventures, dispensing wrath and favor in equal measure, resulting in murders, love affairs, offspring, and wars.
