LoveQuest (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

...a god's love for a mortal woman.... Aphrodite, the goddess of Beauty, has blessed the mortal girl Psyche with a lovely face that captivates the admiration of all who seeher. Psyche, however, offends the goddess by thinking more of winning her malicious sisters' approval than of the gifts the goddess has given her. Although the oracle of Apollo promised Psyche a marvelous marriage to someone "not human," Aphrodite resolves to destroy her happiness by asking her son Eros, the god of Love, to punish Psyche with a life of lovelessness. Aphrodite's plans go wrong when Eros accidentally wounds himself with his own arrow while attempting to carry out his mother's will, falling in love with the woman his mother hates. Knowing that his mother doesn't approve and torn between the two women he loves most, Eros pursues Psyche by deceiving his mother and concealing his identify from Psyche. Perplexed by Eros' invisibility and his passion for her, Psyche is tempted by her jealous sisters to sabotage her romance. Psyche must choose between betrayal and fidelity and suffer the consequences of her decision, just as Eros must connive to win her love and the approval of his mother. Both of them must be put to the test in order to find their heart's desire.

Autor

I was born and raised in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and am a graduate of Rochester High School. I graduated from Slippery Rock University with a degree in English and Fine Arts and attended graduate school at the State University of New York at Binghamton and at Penn State University.

Since 6 years old, I have had a passion for writing, so I naturally pursued a career in journalism and communications. During my work-life, I wrote advertising copy and feature stories for newspapers, and served as media, public relations and employee communications coordinator for non-profit organizations and corporations. As a technical communications specialist in the IT industry, I wrote manuals, specifications, and requirements.

I still found time to write creatively, although not as much as I liked. I authored a book, published a short story, and managed an online discussion group, but, most of my creative writing remained in various stages of completion. When I retired, I returned to those drafts as if they were buried treasure.

LoveQuest was the most complete of all my drafts. Written in the late 1980s, it was a summation of all of my most romantic notions. I am glad to say that I have updated LoveQuest, and it is now a published work.

I plan to devote the rest of my life to creative writing, and to the stories of people, real and fictional, who touch our imagination and excite our sympathy
