The Child of the Erinyes series

Reading Order:

The Child of the Erinyes is a series of interconnected books, and can be thought of as one long story. Each book builds upon the last, and as such, they do not stand alone. The best experience will be found by reading them in order.

The Bronze Age:

(On the island of Crete and Mainland Greece)

The Year-god’s Daughter, Book One

The Thinara King, Book Two

In the Moon of Asterion, Book Three

Victorian and Medieval:

(All set in Scotland)

The Moon Casts a Spell, Book Four (a companion novella)

The Sixth Labyrinth, Book Five

Falcon Blue, Book Six

The Future:

(Various Locales)

When the Moon Whispers First Chronicle, Book Seven

When the Moon Whispers Second Chronicle, Book Eight

Swimming in the Rainbow, Book Nine

I recommend the Boxed Sets:

The Bronze Age Trilogy, books One through Three

In the Labyrinth Trilogy, Books Four through Six

and

The End of Oblivion Trilogy, Books Seven through Nine

OR, for those who prefer to read an entire series at once, pick up Child of the Erinyes, The Complete Collection, Books One through Nine

The Complete Series box set is not available at Amazon, but can be found everywhere else.

The Child of the Erinyes is a nine-book journey spanning 4000 years: beginning in the Bronze Age, it follows the lives of two men and a woman as they are reborn seven times through history.

I fell in love with the myths of the ancient Greeks and wrote my first story at a very early age, due in part to the children’s book, D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths. I’ve continued to hone the craft, alongside education, work, marriage, and child rearing. I’ve owned and operated a successful writing/editing company, and have earned a living in various occupations. As a freelance writer, I provided articles on demand for marketing use and teaching seminars, and, for ten years, worked as a bookseller. Now I’ve joined with Erinyes Press to publish and distribute The Child of the Erinyes series, mythic fantasy fiction beginning in the Bronze Age and winding up in the near future.

Me when I began this journey

The seeds of this series were planted in the seventies, after reading Moon, Moon, by Anne Kent Rush, and Dawn of the Gods, by Jacquetta Hawkes. Two months in Scotland provided invaluable material and insight for what would become the stories that are set there. About fifteen years altogether were spent researching the Bronze Age segments of the series, and encompassed rare historical documents, mythology, archaeology, ancient writing, ancient religions, and volcanology. The research never really ends, I’ve found, even for the part of the series that is set in the future.

The Year-god’s Daughter, Book One of The Child of the Erinyes Series, made its worldwide debut in November, 2011, and was followed by The Thinara King in May, 2012. In the Moon of Asterion, Book Three, arrived on digital bookshelves in April, 2013: all three have paperback versions as well, available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and The Book Depository.

In the Moon of Asterion wraps up the Bronze Age segment, then comes the middle part of the series with its own trilogy, all set in Scotland: The Moon Casts a Spell, (a novella), (2014) The Sixth Labyrinth, (2016) and Falcon Blue (2018). When the Moon Whispers, First and Second Chronicles (2022) and Swimming in the Rainbow (2022) provide the exciting climax.

Biggest writing Influences? Patricia A. McKillip, Anita Diamant, Peter S. Beagle, and Yevgeny Zamyatin, to name a few.

Though I have no conscious memory of living in the settings I write about, (well, except one: okay, maybe two), I do believe in the ability to find a way through the labyrinth of time if one is determined, and I’ve learned that if we keep our eyes and ears open, ancient deities will speak in dreams and visions, gently prompting us to tell their forgotten stories.

Who knows? It could make a difference.
