Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Hannah Lynn!
Writes:
Hannah Lynn is an award-winning novelist who writes epic and binge-worthy stories from mythology, told from the view of lesser-known characters. Her books offer an insight into the mythology tales we believe we know so well and cause you to question all you have been told.
About:
I am a lover of all things bookish who can generally be found reading, writing or with a cat on my lap. As a former physics teacher, I taught around the world, including Asia, Europe and the Middle East and am now back in England where I spend most of my time in my shed at the bottom of the garden. (I love it!) An unusual thing about me is that I was once asked to sing for a former prime minister in a language I didn't speak!
What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:
- Loves delving into the rich world of mythology.
- Enjoys twists and turns of narrative that keep you turning the pages.
- Wants a story which makes them laugh and cry and feel a full spectrum of emotions.
What to expect if we're compatible:
- A fresh look at mythological stories
- Strong, diverse and passionate female leads
- Moments of tender love and broken hearts.
- A deep dive into the complexities of love and human nature.
sisterhood is worth fighting for…
In ancient Themiscyra, Hippolyte rules as queen of the Amazons with her sister Penthesilea at her side. Feared throughout Greece, their skills on the battlefield are unrivalled. But when a ship lands on their shores, it brings something more dangerous than the threat of war: Theseus, the legendary king of Athens.
Swept away by a love unlike any she's ever known, Hippolyte leaves her people. In her stead, Penthesilea leads the Amazons with a ferocity that spreads terror across the Aegean.
But not all men of myth are heroes, and, back in Athens, Hippolyte finds herself trapped in her new life. She's a queen without her people, a warrior without her army, and a mother separated from her family. But she remains an Amazon, and she's ready to fight. And across the sea, Penthesilea is ready to do the same…
Perfect for readers of Madeleine Miller and Claire Heywood, this mythic retelling is a rich, thrilling story of war and peace, love and betrayal, and, most of all, sisterhood.
