Bio
Writer/Director. I enjoy taking ancient Greek myths and turning them into modern sci-fi spooky versions. I also like to write romantic comedies, and people seem to go "Awww!" over them, so why not? My photo has been redrawn by a neural network.Genres

This was very entertaining read. Thanks, George!
The face on the cover really caught my eye, well done. The plot sounds like it will make an entertaining read.
This is a great cover! Looks like a cool book.
Beautiful cover! I can’t wait to read the story.
Love the title and the premise! Can't wait to read it!
This story looks intriguing, and I've never read a book centered around a fox before! I'm excited to learn more, and I like your cover as well! :)
A fascinating take on ancient Greek mythology! Opening chapters bring the reader right into this page-turning story. Don't miss out!
That neon title really steals the show! Very eye catching, and I love the concept of reinterpreting fairy tales in a cyberpunk setting.
Always love George's stories. He weaves mythology into his stories in such a clever subtle way. Must read!

Gorgonise Me
A Story Inspired by Medusa’s Sister and a Piece of Unplayable Piano Music
To gorgonise. An old English word based on Greek. Means to have a paralysing effect on someone.
Taken to the extreme, as I always do. Evryali is a music piece for solo piano that cannot physically be played, composed by Iannis Xenakis in 1973.

Noted for her petrifying gaze of course, but also for her bellowing cries. Contrary to Medusa who was a mortal that was cursed, Evryali was immortal.
