Oh also of course my book and its follow-up (a similar medieval queer romance/thriller) are also looking for a new home. This book’s sales INCREASED every year purely on word of mouth. Imagine what could be done with marketing. Captive Prince x Song of Achilles:

The House of Atreus trilogy comprises Clytemnestra’s Bind, Helen’s Judgement and Electra’s Fury. All three are ready to go. Currently writing a standalone retelling of a famous but lesser-explored Greek myth. #GreekMythology #HistoricalFiction #Retellings

We have general fiction! I am BEGGING someone to pick up these four books, they are each fantastic (technically it’s five, Helen’s Judgement has a sequel). They all have huge bestseller potential if actually marketed

If any of the books in this thread appeal to you, DM me and I’ll put you in touch

Are you an agent or a publisher looking to add to your list? There are FANTASTIC authors left in the lurch by Unbound who need homes for their existing bools and for sequels / new books. A thread, grouped by genre. Please reskeet!

My first novel was on the pirate website used by Meta to train their AI. Although the UK government doesn’t appear to give a toss about protecting authors’ scanty livelihoods in the face of greedy, morality-free big tech, there’s nothing to lose by signing this petition. 🤷‍♀️ chng.it/9Svmx6NwHK

Excellent article! “It’s hard for publishing people to realise just how opaque our industry can be.”

‘What makes Helen’s Judgement stand out is its distinctive portrayal of Helen, who is often seen in myth as a mere symbol of beauty or betrayal. Here, she is a fully realised character.’

I’ve just finished these two novels, which I enjoyed immensely. Very well-written and unique perspectives on familiar legends. I’m excited to see what the third will bring (hoping to return to Clytemnestra and the further fall of the house of Atreus).

She's the most scapegoated heroine in Greek mythology, but there's never just one side to any story...

Helen’s Judgement, book 2 of The House of Atreus, publishes on Thursday! 🎉 In the meantime, you can read my article in Historia exploring how Ancient Greek perceptions of shame and glory motivate the characters.

Sulky, brutal Achilles; vain, passive Helen. Have we misjudged these Trojan War characters?
@susancwilson.bsky.social, author of Helen's Judgement, argues that we should go back to the Iliad to understand the importance of the concept of heroes' shame.

It’s precarious enough trying to make a living for most creatives. Copyright laws must not be changed in favour of big tech while disadvantaging creatives.
