The Gatekeeper’s Sons: Gatekeeper’s Saga, Book One by Eva Pohler @EvaPohler

Fifteen-year-old Therese watches her parents die. While in a coma, she meets the twin sons of Hades—Hypnos, the god of sleep, and Thanatos, the god of death. She thinks she’s manipulating a dream, not kissing the god of death and totally rocking his world.

Than makes a deal with Hades and goes as a mortal to the Upperworld to try and win Therese’s heart, but not all the gods are happy. Some give her gifts. Others try to kill her.

The deal requires Therese to avenge the death of her parents. With the help of Than’s fierce and exotic sisters, the Furies, she finds herself in an arena face to face with the murderer, and only one will survive.

Targeted Age Group:: young adult, 13+

How is Writing In Your Genre Different from Others?
Writing about Greek mythology is both liberating and restrictive. It’s liberating in that I have so many more options available to me for helping my characters get out of sticky situations; it’s restrictive in that I feel an obligation to be true to the original myths.

What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
Don’t stop writing after the first book. Too many new authors imagine that their first book will be the break out novel, and that rarely happens. Keep writing, form alliances with other writers and industry professionals, attend conferences, keep reading in your genre, and keep reading about the business of writing and publishing. If you don’t know much about marketing, learn about it. Few authors can make writing a career without skills in promotion.

Author Bio:

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I’ve always loved Greek mythology and wanted to imagine what would happen if an ordinary girl met and fell in love with a Greek god.
