'Zeus: The Autobiography' is a historical satire dictated by a deity to a mortal ghost writer who may have mixed motives.
Zeus emerges to share the truth of the universe and his life. He boasts of absolute power and knowledge yet struggles with family, sex, romance, loss, middle age, usurpers, and other ongoing hassles of running the universe. Zeus seems oblivious to female forces that hold as much or more influence than he does. He takes us through creation to his birth in exile to leading the war against older gods to the peculiar origin of mortals to ancient history to early Christianity.
He claims to still command the universe and protect mortals, yet why did he withdraw from view just as selfish trickster forces started to lead the world astray?
I have studied Greek mythology, the Classical period, and Christian history for decades. I strive to amuse readers with both dry and ripe wit while inspiring compassion and skepticism.

Shadows of Laurel and Flame
In modern-day Southern California, gods walk among mortals disguised as CEOs, professors, crime lords, and celebrities-powerful, immortal, and manipulative. But not all gods are free. Persephone Karras, a literature professor in San Diego, is cursed by her mother Demeter, Zeus, and Hera to live endless mortal lifetimes without memory of who she truly is. Every life ends on her 30th birthday, unless Hades-Adrian Thanos, the feared mafia boss of Los Angeles-finds her in time and claims her through marriage and union, restoring her divinity and breaking the cycle. For Adrian, Persephone is his only light, the one good thing in his shadowed existence. For Persephone, he is both danger and salvation-an untouchable figure who appears in her dreams as a king of fire and night. But the curse is not the only obstacle. Other gods and goddesses shape this world and the immortal one: As Persephone's 30th birthday draws near, her dreams grow more vivid-visions of shadows, pomegranate seeds, and a crown forged of flame and laurel. Adrian must defy Zeus, outwit Hera, and even resist Demeter's wrath to save her. But fate is cruel: if Adrian fails, Persephone dies again, the curse resets, and her immortal essence slips further from reach. If he succeeds, their union will not only end the curse but bring forth a child-a being of shadow and bloom, mortal and divine-destined to change the balance of both worlds.
Of Magic and Storms
Elesteria Jackson is the daughter of Sally Jackson and the Sea God Poseidon. But before that, she was a normal human being who read the series "Percy Jackson and the Olympians." The only thought in her mind after registering her situation was "Fuck my life." Granted, what Percy Jackson went through wasn't too bad. If you didn't count the multiple near-death experiences and watching all your friends die fighting monsters part. Ok, so pretty bad. After much consideration, Essie decided to prioritise her mental health and her new mother's well-being - Sally was an angel who did not deserve the fate that was handed to her - and embarked on her journey to avoid the gods. And she succeeded, for like 15 years. Before fate came knocking down her door. Bringing a bunch of gods with her.
Hades Legacy (Hades Series #3)
*to be edited: please excuse any continuity errors and / or mistakes in regards the writing quality of Hades* Ellie is just like every other normal eighteen year old girl in the world, except for one big reason. She's the daughter of Hades. And an immortal goddess in charge of managing suicide in the world. And she's been locked in the darkness of the Underworld for her entire life. So basically, her life couldn't get any more abnormal if she tried. Ellie longs to experience life like everybody else her age, but for as long as she can remember her parents haven't let her travel up to the surface, and she's been forced to imagine the upper world through the stories her mother told and the books she read. Until, one day, her parents finally give in and let her go up to the surface to see the world through her own eyes, and her world explodes with colour. Then, just when she thinks her life couldn't get more exciting, she stumbles across a very particular green-eyed god; one who throws her perfectly organised world into complete chaos and shows her what it means to live in the light. But what Ellie doesn't know, is that the Fates have a prophecy for her. A prophecy that she couldn't escape if she tried. A prophecy that has tangled it's gnarled fingers into the threads of her life, and may just throw the world into the darkness Ellie has spent her whole life trying to escape. "He's the son of Aphrodite, she's the daughter of Hades. He's light, she's the oncoming darkness. He advocates for love, she's the embodiment of death. What could possibly go wrong?"

The God-Emperor the Ten Year War
(A rewrite of the King of the Gods the Titanomachy) I remember the life I lived before this one-a life of fleeting mortality, ignorance, and helplessness. But that life ended, and in its place, I was reborn-not as a man, but as Hades, eldest son of Cronus, King of Naziru, First Throne of the Triarchs, Supreme Chief, All-Father of the gods... the architect of destiny itself. I was given a second chance to rewrite the past, to bend time and power to my will, for the Great Devourer comes-a force that will consume everything I love, every world, every life. And I will not fail. I will master all pantheons, forge empires from the bones of gods, and carve my name into history so absolute that even eternity will bend to my design. I am Hades. I am the king of all thrones, the inheritor of every divine secret, the master of life, death, and fate. The world may tremble at the shadow of my ambition, but it is my world to protect-and my enemies, even gods, will learn that I am no mere son of Cronus. I am its savior, its conqueror, and its last hope. #ReincarnationFantasy #ModernGods #MythologyReimagined #GreekMythology #TimeTravelFantasy #DarkAcademiaMythos #GodRebirth #EpicFantasy #PoliticalIntrigue #DivineDrama #FoundFamily #ProphecyAndFate #FromMortalToGod #HadesPOV #RebirthOfTheOlympians
Hades Rewound (Hades Series #2)
*to be edited: please excuse any continuity errors and / or mistakes in regards the writing quality of Hades* You could say that a lot has happened to Evie Autumn over the past few years. 1. Her best friend died (kind of ) and she found out that everyone she knew were immortal-walking-on-the-earth Greek gods. 2. She fell in love with the ruler of Hell (kind of) and agreed to become his new Queen. 3. She battled jealous sea gods and scary titans; a big fight which really, all could have been avoided with a big family therapy session. Yup, life sure was calmer than it had been in a while. Not that Evie missed the chaos or anything; she totally loved sitting around all day with the love of her life, alternating between telling people how to live their afterlives and telling Hades that he really needed to educate his Disney movie knowledge. But then that serene bubble was shattered when, once again, her life was maliciously twisted out of proportion right in front of her; and on her wedding day, no less. Once again, Evie must race against the clock to save the love of her life - and the world, of course - before time runs out; but this time, the stakes are much higher. This time, it's not just the fate of the world on the line. It's Evie's heart too. [Ranked #76 in Teen Fiction on 05.10.16] [OFFICIAL HADES SEQUEL]Concluída
King of the Gods: The Titanomachy
Imagine this: You're just a college student, buried in mythology textbooks and caffeine, dreaming of becoming a world-class expert on ancient gods and forgotten legends. That was my life-simple, grounded, normal. Then I died. No warning, no grand exit. Just darkness. Game over. Or so I thought. Because next thing I know, I'm standing before her-Veritas. A cosmic being with eyes like galaxies and a voice that shakes the soul. She didn't ask. She didn't explain. She just chose me... and sent me back as Hades. Yes, that Hades-the Greek god of the Underworld. You'd think my mythology degree would give me an advantage. Spoiler: it didn't. The myths? Twisted. The stories? Half-true at best. And the gods? They're nothing like the sanitized tales we tell. They're ancient, powerful, and terrifyingly real. Now I'm a mortal soul trapped in a divine body, caught in a web of politics, monsters, forgotten laws, and secrets older than time. No guidebook. No second chances. Just me, trying to survive in a world where every mistake could spark a war. Think you know the gods? Trust me-you don't. Open the book. Step into my shadow. And see what it really means to be a god.Concluída
The God Games - Book One: The Grading
"When you die, you don't rest-you compete." Every human life is nothing more than a test. Each act of kindness, cruelty, love, or betrayal adds to an invisible tally. When the body fails, the soul is called to The Grading, where cosmic judges weigh a lifetime's worth of choices. Pass, and you move closer to godhood-a place among the architects of mankind's faith. Fail, and you are cast back into flesh to repeat the cycle, until eternity breaks you. But this cycle is not just divine order-it's a competition. Those who rise high enough enter the Trials of Ascension, where the prize is unthinkable: the right to create a religion, become worshipped, and reign as the next god of humanity. In a realm where faith is currency and power devours purity, souls will clash in games of cunning, devotion, and survival. Some seek justice, some crave worship, and others just want revenge. Only one can ascend. Book One: The Grading begins a trilogy where divinity is earned, gods are made, and belief itself is the deadliest game of all.
SiKoRa
⚠️SiKoRa is a fictional story created to explore the world without God, the things discussed and the events that play out can be not only mature but also offensive, but in no way is the story trying to encourage a certain act or make fun of an event. I repeat: if you are offended/disgusted by these certain events/actions then I advise you to not read.⚠️ _Viewer's discretion is advised._ "The Book Of Uriel" Before the beginning, there was nothing. Before Heaven, before Hell, before time itself-there was only silence. Then came the first light, the first rebellion, and the first fall. Now, in a universe where angels, demons, and ancient powers clash, Gabriel, the trickster of Heaven, is forced to reckon with his own fractured existence. As the celestial balance teeters on the edge, secrets long buried are unearthed, and the true cost of power is revealed. Betrayal runs deep, and redemption is nothing but a fleeting illusion. What happens when the foundation of existence begins to crumble? In a world of endless wars, shifting alliances, and forgotten gods, the question remains: Can anything truly be saved, or is everything doomed to turn to ash?Concluída
