Keeping Mythology Real (guest post by author P J Hoover)
<!–[if !mso]> st1:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } <![endif]–>

Hi! P. J. Hoover here, author of the upcoming dystopian/mythology YA novel, SOLSTICE (Tor Teen, June 18, 2013), and today I want to talk for a bit about keeping mythology real. See, SOLSTICE has two worlds parallel to each other. There is Earth where global warming is running rampant, and there is the world of mythology where gods battle for control. And in my book, the story is split evenly between the two worlds.

Can't wait to read Solstice! I am a Greek myth fan from way back! I studied ancient Greek and mythology in college and, like a dog with a bone, never let it go.
Sweet! I teach a college level mythology course to HS seniors. This is a perfect fit.
Thanks, Gail! I have loved mythology forever and think it is so much fun to put into books 🙂
Hey Eric! Thanks! I got a history degree in college also and loved those mythology classes!
