Synopsis:
There’s bound to be pressure when it takes 2500 years to get to a second date. Which is exactly why Theo Rockman, a.k.a. Prometheus, would rather not go. With his best friend gravely injured and the fate of humanity still on the line, Theo has all sorts of creative excuses to avoid dating swoon-worthy god and love of his life, Hephaestus.
YA romantic comedy gets an epic mythological twist in the free (at select retailers) short story A Date of Godlike Proportions (The Blooming Goddess Trilogy Book 2.5). Being human hasn’t killed Theo, but this date just might.

10 Things You Didn't Know About Tellulah Darling
1) I am too lazy to learn songs properly, choosing instead to
just fit whatever word seems closest to the phonetic sound I hear. This means
that nothing I sing makes any logical sense. However, they are all wildly
creative. Every once in a while I actually figure out what the words are
supposed to be and realize how much sense the song now makes. What's funny is that
there are certain songs I'm suck in a perpetual loop with. I learn what they
are, promptly forget and go back to my nonsense, and then have that deja vu
moment when I understand them again. Maybe I was dropped on my head as a child.
2) I love to travel but hate flying. As a result, I spent much
of my life gripping the arms of my airplane seat while whispering "please
don't fall" for hours on end. Happily, my doctor informed me a couple
years ago (while staring at me like I was an idiot upon hearing how I coped)
that since my way didn't work, I might want to try drugs. Miracles of modern
science, indeed!
3) Speaking of travel–the first time I went to Italy, I was 15
yrs old. We were in Heathrow waiting for our flight to Rome and I'd fallen
asleep stretched out across the chairs at the departure area. I woke up to the
sight of the Italian National Football (Soccer) team seated around me. Even at
that tender age, I was partial to that particular flavour of man candy. So I
shot up and might have tried to shove my little brother under a seat in an
attempt to look like a worldly solo traveller. Yeah, right. I wish you all a
similar wake up call with *insert group of hot men of your choice*.
4) I was a professional screenwriter for 12 years. Crazy things
happen in writers' rooms. On one of my favourite shows to work on, the
showrunner and I plotted out the entire season arc's battle using Smurfs. This
was for a kids' show. We'd renamed them with our characters' names and did
their voices and everything. On another, not a kids' show, there was an actual
meeting to discuss the star's wife's Playboy photos. There can be this
intimidating mystique around film and television. Don't believe any of it.
5) I forget that my husband is one of my followers on Twitter. This
leads to a lot of head shaking when I've been a bit too vigorous discussing hot
guys - fictional or otherwise and steamy reads. I try to push the excuse that
it's simply ways of interacting with social media friends and readers. I think
I’ve gotten away with it but I’m not sure because I am no longer able to make
eye contact with him.
6) I hold a Masters' Degree in Film Theory. Yes, you read that
right. In watching movies. Okay, and criticizing them. Possibly the most
useless degree known to mankind. Not only that, I did my Master's thesis on
Gender and Spectatorship in the animation of Chuck Jones. Which means that I
watched Bugs Bunny Cartoons for two years. My family despaired. They used to
lie and say I was studying journalism. I share this with you so that if your
family gives you any grief about your area of study, you can use me as an
example of how it could be so much worse. You're welcome.
7) I think that the right shade of lipstick and a great head of
hair can be a woman's finest accessory. Who's with me here?
8) I think the world needs more choreography. I have a constant
soundtrack in my head and like to tap dance my way through the day. Which in my
head comes off like a brilliant Gene Kelly-esque routine. I take no
responsibility for how it looks in reality. Obviously, you all just need to see
things in my special way.
9) I love my Kindle because it allows me to read my steamy
romances to my heart's content without the constant judging I get from haters
who obviously are down on love. I've found that if I nod my head sagely whilst
reading, people think I'm engrossed in some deep literary classic and perhaps
feel bad for not reading such a weighty tome themselves. I feel no guilt for
this. I've had too many years of snotty reactions to all the genre reading I've
done.
10) Since I write romantic comedies, I'll share a couple of my
favs with you. Book: Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie. This is the smexiest
book around. (Ha - autocorrect wanted it to be the smelliest book around.)
Film: When Harry Met Sally and The Princess Bride. Don't make me
choose. It could get ugly.

ReplyDeleteYou said there is a soundtrack in your head depicting your life right, so if you could choose a theme song, what would it sound like?
