Alternate chapter title: “Unexpected Bacon”

More answers, more troubles, and a gigantic flying sow I didn’t even know existed. Curious? Then it’s time for the fourteenth installment of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Last Olympian…

Pigs Fly

So Percy gets a triple-vision this time as he goes to rest, but before I get there, I’d like to give Thalia a kudo or three for giving some sound, needed counsel to Percy at the start of the chapter: Don’t let what Prometheus said lead Percy to being soft on Luke. Despite his situation, Luke is responsible for the bad choices he’s made. After the last chapter’s parley set a bit uncertainty in both Percy and the reader (or at least, this reader), Thalia helps him to get grounded and refocused. [Read more…]

Alternate chapter title: “Parlay Titan in the House Tonight”

It’s Percy’s World! Percy’s World! Parlay-time! Excellent! …Sorry, couldn’t help myself. (I bet some of you haven’t even heard of Wayne’s World. Gods, I’m old…) Anyway, that early-90s reference must mean it’s time for the lucky thirteenth chapter of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Last Olympian…

A Titan Brings Me a Present

I wasn’t anticipating the Titan coming to parlay would be Prometheus, but it makes sense, given his history with humanity and generally helpful reputation. To be honest, I often forget that Prometheus IS a Titan, probably because he wasn’t involved in the whole Titanomachy/Titan War and wasn’t punished along with the others. [Read more…]

Alternate chapter title: “Michael Calls Many Characters Dicks”

A rest, a recovery, and a whole buncha answers! Or, at least, some answers. More than we had before! Also, Zeus is a dick. (Maybe that’s why they murdered him.) In other words, it’s the twelfth chapter of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Last Olympian…

Alternate chapter title: Why You Should Insure Your Bridges Against “Acts of Demigod”

A pitched battle, a terrible injury, and a whole lotta bull! In other words, it’s time for the eleventh part of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Last Olympian, which is also known as…

We Break A Bridge

Actually, I suppose this is technically more of a skirmish than a battle. The battle continues, but this is simply a part of it, and much of its success is owed to Percy’s efforts. When you’re Styx-dipped, you can take on a lot of crap at once. (Just ask Achilles, after all.) That’s not to discount the contributions of Annabeth, the Apollo cabin, and Blackjack, of course. But when you kill the enemy’s champion and almost single-handedly force a retreat, you get to be MVP. [Read more…]

Alternate chapter title: “And Hudson: Smash.”

It’s like Home Alone, but with monsters! And river gods! And statues! And–actually so it’s really not much at all like Home Alone, which is not a bad thing. As to what it IS, it’s the tenth chapter of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Last Olympian, a.k.a…

Alternate title: The City That Never Sleeps, ‘Cept Now

Well, the gods just don’t like to give complete messages, do they? Plus Hermes is cranky, Olympus is on the brink of attack, and Morpheus takes Manhattan. (But at least Kentucky’s only half-destroyed.) It must be time for the 9th chapter of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Last Olympian, a.k.a…

Zeus Is Dead & The New Aeneid Cycle returns to paperback!

When Booktrope, my former publisher, closed its doors at the end of May, I focused on getting the ebook versions of my novels back up for sale under my new imprint, Red Muse Press, as soon as possible. Missing since then have been the paperback versions. Well, no longer!

I’m pleased to announce that the Red Muse Press versions of all of my existing novels are now available on Amazon. Not only that, they’re at lower prices than they were previously. So far, most of my readers prefer ebooks, but for those of you who like to the feel of a physical book in your hands, I’m excited to offer them again.
