Ready to journey through time, mythology, and the human psyche? Join me as I sit down with Boston-based author Luna McNamara, a former scholar, medical researcher, and social worker, whose eclectic background and passion for ancient civilizations fuel her storytelling. Luna opens up about her fascinating journey from academia to writing, her love for gender dynamics in historical societies, and how the lockdown sparked her creative engine, transforming fan fiction into a published novel.

Get a sneak peek into "Psyche and Eros", Luna's novel that boldly reimagines the ancient Eros and Psyche myth with a touch of Disney's Hercules. Luna discusses her research process, drawing on historical and mythological sources while adding her own unique spin. She delves into how she crafted her characters and the world they inhabit deeply influenced by authors like CS Lewis and Ann Carson. Packed with insights on writing, storytelling, and the enduring power of ancient myths in modern literature, this episode is a must-listen for book lovers, mythology enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates finely crafted prose. Tune in, and let Luna's tales transport you to a world where the ancient and modern collide!
