Spotlight on 2011 Debut Author Jessie Harrell


Author Bio:

Jessie Harrell fell in love with the Cupid & Psyche myth while majoring in Classical Studies at the University of Florida. (Yes, that degree is about as useless as it sounds.) After attending law school, getting married, having kids and realizing that the real world is a lot more work than she thought it'd be (both good and bad), she turned back to this myth and made it her own.




When Psyche receives a prophecy gone horribly wrong, she learns that even the most beautiful girl in Greece can have a hideous future. Her fate? Fall in love with the one creature even the gods fear.
As she feels herself slipping closer into the arms of the prophecy, Psyche must choose between the terrifyingly tender touch she feels almost powerless to resist and the one constant she's come to expect out of life: you cannot escape what is destined.

Destined is a fresh and heartachingly romantic retelling of the Cupid & Psyche myth from debut novelist, Jessie Harrell.

Note from me:

This is a wonderful book and when I say you need to read it, I'm not kidding!!!  If you are remotely into mythology, you will LOVE it!!!  You can pick up a paperback or e-book copy here!!!  Special thanks to Christina Lee for organizing this event.  Please stop by her blog and take a peek at all the debut authors/blogs participating!!!
