    About this ebook

    When an astronaut attempts to add cooking to her list of nonexistent wife-material skills, she fails so spectacularly that she blows herself into space. Without a suit on. Full of pent-up anger and regret from all the social pressure.
    If she survives those precious seconds till help arrives, she's done with all that.
    The next time she meets someone, she might just explode.

    George Saoulidis

    Writer/Director. I enjoy taking ancient Greek myths and turning them into modern sci-fi spooky versions. I also like to write romantic comedies, and people seem to go "Awww!" over them, so why not?  Many of my stories are icky, in various ways. I’m European, we have a higher tolerance for that kind of stuff. Plus, I’m inspired by mythology and Shakespeare, so if you can’t handle tragedy and bodily fluids, feel free to move on. My photo has been redrawn by a neural network. Join the Mythographers, download the free starting library and begin reading right now: https://www.mythographystudios.com/join
