Longtime devotees of my blog will remember the problems I had in nailing down the character of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love. Well, those problems had continued until fairly recently, when I finally drew the above pinup (for the Olympiansrule.com website). It took a lot of back and forth on my part to find the right body type for an ancient goddess of beauty. I think I finally got it. She's only made a couple of cameos in the series so far, but now, fully fleshed out, Aphrodite can take the stage for a more prominent role.

She's got a nice voluptuousness quality to her!
Thanks. The voluptiousity took me a looong time to get right.
My gifted 2nd grader is collecting this series. Just got Poseidon. When does Aphrodite become available? He would love for you to do Trojan War or the Iliad.
hi Hester, I hope the Reverend Dimmesdale has been treating you well ;)
Aphrodite's book comes out at the end of this year. Please let your son know that it very nicely sets up my retelling of the Iliad, to be featured in Olympians Book 7.
I am a fan of your books of the Olympians . Thank you George O'Connor for writing them.
