Wow, is it March already? Even with the leap day, this year is just flowing past. Part of that is just how much I enjoy writing, whether or not people get to read it. Though, of course, I prefer it if people did.
I started my 43rd book just a couple of days ago. Social Gods posits the idea that, once someone gets enough of a following online, they would start to ascend to godhood. That many of the gods of old used this to keep their own status. The main character has to struggle with the idea that she might be ascending to that higher status... or just going insane.
One of the supporting characters in the book goes by Ath, and is a composite of all gods of war and knowledge throughout history. That means that they're equally Ares and Athena.. making them my first non-binary character. I'm not quite sure why I hadn't included a non-binary character before this, but it will be interesting what happens with them.
Social Gods should be coming out some time next year. With how many books I'm writing each year, though, it is sometimes hard to figure out just how far off that is. I think it's our March 2025 release.
