Two days ago, beneath the gaze of Mount Olympus, Marika and I wandered the ancient ruins of Dion. The stones whispered of gods and mortals, victories and loss.

Now the modern runners gather—preparing for the Olympus Marathon, where the climb still tests those who dare to race the mountain.

Standing on that ancient road, I couldn’t help but think of Running With the Gods—my novel born from this very ground. A story of ascent, endurance, and the shadows that trail us all.

If you’re drawn to such a journey, Running With the Gods will be released Oct 1, 2025. The climb awaits.
