Comment from Begin Again

Excellent

I had to find this prologue when I saw your first chapter... wantedto make sure I started from the beginning. Though it appears your greek mythology with the Gods might twist and turn with my mind again...put I loved the other book so I will try to follow this one.
Smiles, Carol

Hi again, Carol,
Again, I responded to this review already once, so if you get duplicate answers, I'm so sorry.
I do appreciate you taking the time to read the rather long prologue that I wasn't in a good place when I wrote years ago. My muse took a hike for a while after the death of my mother, and two years of surgery. It was a rough time, and not a good place to try to write.
Time to pick this story up again,
Hugs,
Rhonda

I love the Greek myths and you've done a great job with this tale. It has so many ways it could lead, especially with all the jealousy that is typically found at Olympus. I am sure there are some interesting times ahead for Eudora and anyone connected with her.

Thank you for the great review!! I?m about to take a lot of liberties with the old myths, lol, but all?s fair game in fantasy.
Thanks again,
Rhonda

Great job with this chapter in a story about the gods. Sounds like it is in the process of becoming an excellent book. Thanks for sharing your creativity!

-Nice book cover, Rhonda,
and thanks for the notes.
-Good to see your story, too!
-The story flows well with effective
description and examples of how
things are going on Mt. Olympus.
-You personalize Hera and Zeus
by showing them as concerned parents.
-Of course, nothing ever stays the
same-Eudora is growing up and the
gods are facing more challenges
with the growth in humanity.
-The ending is good as you leave us with
Zeus and his anxiety over Phoebus.
-Good luck with the book!

Hi Sandra. I?m so very glad to have your support. I?m not much of an editor either, so I usually do what you did and tell my feelings.
Thanks again,
Rhonda

Very insightful. Much of this I did not know or understand. To me I think of Paul and how he challenged the Greeks, and how would take their beliefs and show them how they are close but very far, and they needed to open their hearts. Looking forward to learning more. Good job.

I?ll be honest with you, I have taken great liberties with Greek Mythology here. I?m just using their characters to play out a more human story. Thanks for suspending disbelief for this fantasy tale!

I enjoyed reading this. I raised four boys. Three of my boys have children and each one has one daughter. It's amazing my granddaughters have these big tough daddy's wrapped in their little fingers. LOL Poor Zeus.

This is a bit different from the previous stories I've read from you, in fact from anyone apart from Homer or Aesop, although he may not have written about the gods. A marvellous start dear Rhonda. The Greek gods were more human than humans. A fabulous story Rhonda, looking forward to more. Blessings, Roy

Thank you for the beautiful review Roy. This book takes a lot of liberties with Greek mythology, but in the end, there is a message within the story. My target audience is young adults and I try to take modern problems and put them in a different context to make a point.

Thanks for reviewing and for the awesome 6 stars!

Take care,
Rhonda

I enjoyed your story, Rhonda. It flowed well with good imagery and details. I like the cover. I remained interested from start to finish. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes with your on-going publishing venture. Respectfully with Love, Jan.

Near the end, I would not end a sentence with the word 'was'.

Hi Rhonda, this is a great start to your book. I understand that you want to re-write it and I'm looking forward to reading it in full. As I said, it's a great start. I've always been fascinated with the Greek mythology. All best. Ulla:)))
