Why does mythology interest me? I suppose it's the mystery of it all, the idea that superior beings are watching over us, capable of playing with our little lives. My favorite myths have always been of the Greek variety, and even as a child, I enjoyed reading about the exploits of the gods. Those lovely, scandalous beings intrigued me. As an author, I knew I had to write about them.

My first book about the Greek gods was For the Love of a God, which is set in a Toronto museum. It pits the god of love against a mortal conservator of statuary, and boy, do the sparks fly!

My second book is Sweet Hell, and this one is a romance between randy Dionysus and a workaholic baker...and it takes them on quite a journey!


My third is Sunburn, a sexy romp between Apollo and a mortal travel blogger. Find out what happens to them when "fun in the sun" takes on a decidedly erotic twist!


Aside from the grand prize, I will also be giving away one of my god backlist to one lucky commenter. So don't forget to leave me a comment with your email address and tell me why the gods inspire you!

In the meantime, please check out all these books at www.lsbooks.com, or on Amazon/ARE/B&N.

    Gods are inspiring because they have immeasurable powers. Many gods can command the elements like Posideon with the ocean, or any water, for that matter.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

    The legends of the gods inspire the creative side in me. Not to mention having been told many of the stories as I grew up. :)

    Much like you I became hooked on reading about Greek mythology as a child. Later I read about Roman and Norse myths, but Greek has always remained my favorite. I think I have always been intrigued by the way early Greeks found it necessary to define life and the way it works by a series of different gods for each aspect of life. It is important to know that there is someone watching over us with higher power.

    They inspire me because their stories are usually stories of how they overcame whatever obstacles they had or taught us to be humble or so many other lessons. There was always a lesson to learn from mythology stories.

    Aside from the smexy images these gods have inspired there's a lot to learn from them. From fighting inner demons to fighting evil, Bringing justice as well as chaos in the world. Well u get the idea. I guess they have inspired me to fight my inner demons as well as doing what I think is right and to stand by my Morales.

    I love how they have a specific ability or job to do(usually) rather than being able to do everything, that way I know I don't have to be able to everything under the sun.
