A Tale of Love, Latte, and Angry Gods
Alex Bailey lives a boring, simple life in the Chicago suburb of Joliet. Divorced with two teenage kids, an overextended mortgage, and a huge chunk of his paycheck going to child support, he wonders if his nine to... well, late in the evening job is as good as life's going to get.
Artemis has lived a very unusual life, to say the least. After spending the last two thousand years in oblivion, she finds herself in downtown Joliet, and realizes just how out of touch with the evolved world she is.
A chance encounter with a stranger made her think she might just have to rely on someone to help her navigate this strange new world.
Having returned to the world without any of the other Olympians, Artemis will have to find her way through supernatural challenges and those of the mortal kind, too.
Will the goddess who has always spurned relationships with men finally fall in love with one or will the sudden return of her brother Apollo put out the fire that has started to burn within her for a mere mortal man?
The Rise of Artemis is the first in a new series of the goddess' adventures in modern-day America.
