Medusa: The Lost Daughter – Part 1 Posted
Hey everyone! I just posted the first poem of the Medusa: The Lost Daughter series on Wattpad. This is a 35 part series, 35 individual poems, that tells the backstory of Medusa, before she became the infamous gorgon. First poem has been posted. Check it out.
If you aren’t familiar with Wattpad, it is a site where readers can read works for free as they are posted in installments. For example, mine will be published in 35 installments. It is my hope to publish 1-2 installments a week. Follow me here or at Wattpad, and I will notify you when each installment is published.
Enjoy!
