Today is a day of magic, myth and wonder, as I proudly announce the official release of Mythwakers: The Minotaur! Travel back in time with me to Ancient Greece. This first book in the Mythwakers series will tell you the Minotaur’s story — from his own perspective!
Mythwakers Unveiled
Imagine a world where myths are not just tales of heroes, but narratives told by mythological creatures, like the Minotaur! Those stories would look a lot different, wouldn’t they?

If you’re 4 or 104, you’re going to love this book! It blends story and learning (don’t tell your parents). It not only introduces you to the Minotaur, but you will also find out all about Asterion’s life and culture, and why it really matters.
The Untold Story
While his tale was told to the Greeks, we will uncover a hidden truth—the myth is actually rooted in the Minoan Culture.
Theseus was a Greek hero, but the Minotaur was Crete’s monster; you’ll find out all about how these two cultures are connected.
