What if the man you love is the God of the Dead?
That’s the problem facing Persephone. Her mother, Demeter, is a Level-1 goddess who wants Persephone to marry Darryl, demi-god of home repairs, and stay close to home. Her father, Zeus, the top god on Mount Olympus, is a bit grumpy these days, fed-up with all the demands being made on him. And Hades, well, now that she’s getting to know him, Hades isn’t what Persephone expected at all — he’s handsome, smart, sensitive and witty — in a word, hot.
Beautiful, intelligent and strong-willed, Persephone’s in line to be a Level-1 goddess herself someday. The problem is … she’s dissatisfied and restless.
This new take on the classic myth is a smart, sexy, fast-moving read. Dead Beautiful explores the many faces of love, explains why there are four seasons, and reveals what really happens after death.

I love this! I love the take on the story, I love the ending, I ended up listening far too late in the night because I HAD to find out what was happening. I especially loved the different sides of the story and hearing each character. Highly recommended.

Thanks for such kind comments. It's great to hear from listeners. My son urged me to read and record the book, and it was a lot of fun. He did the sound engineering.

Really enjoyed this story. Funny and original. A bit of background noises that made me jump sometimes, but perfection will come with practice. ;)
