The mortals don't believe in the old gods anymore; haven't for a long time. All that's left are memories and a handful of myths. They have forgotten, and they don't want to remember.
But the gods are alive and well, and always have been.
//A collection of short stories and poems of myths, modern and classical, posted as I write them. Set in the same verse as my novella, Changing Times.

No More Olympus
There are gods among us. Over 2000 years ago, Olympus was overthrown by the mortals who worshipped them, spreading them to the four corners of the earth where no one could ever find them, not even each other. Now in the modern-day, Athena, the first daughter of Zeus and the Goddess of War and Wisdom, lives hidden as an ordinary mortal woman who has a family of her own in rural Alabama. But when threats from her past threaten her new life, she must trudge back into the world she left behind, being forced to relive old conflicts, old regrets and old trauma. But no matter how long ago and how much one resists, the past has a way of forcing itself into the present and staining the future.Complete
Teenage Life Crisis
This eBook is PG-13. Mature content added. Zeus' children always made fun of him and it totally made him mad, but his wives told him that they were just children so just go with it. But when they were already in their adulthood, they still, surprisingly, act like children. So when Zeus just got really, really pissed off, he creates an immortal who has multiple powers, and its most powerful abilities are time travel and the ability to change someone or something into a different form. So Zeus orders the immortal to turn his children to teenagers and sends them to a world that is new to them. Read the story of Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Athena, Dionysus, Hermes, Hephaestus and Hebe to see if they can fit in, have good friends, find love, and if they can handle the madness of what they consider as the 'future' and what we call now as the 'present'.Complete
