Waterstones York are excited to announce an evening with Phoenicia Rogerson the author behind the brilliant Herc on 25th September, 7pm.Our event will consist of a talk given by the author followed by an opportunity to ask questions of Phoenicia's process, character development, her own reading choices and much more!

About the book: Aphrodite'I’m a liar, to begin with.'

I wasn’t always a goddess, you see. My only real power was my beauty – you’ll have heard. It’s legendary. But that was never going to be enough for me.

It took a web of lies to convince the gods of Olympus I was one of them. But I did. I was that good. Zeus gave me a title and riches and loved me. And all he wanted in return was for me to love him back.

But of course, Zeus was a tyrant. (Not entirely surprising when you’re ninety per cent insecurities and ten per cent raw power.) I couldn’t live at someone’s mercy. Really, I had no choice. I had to take on the mightiest Olympian of all. And this bit’s not a lie… I intended to win.
