LoveQuest Kindle Edition

5.0 out of 5 stars (9)

AMAZON BESTSELLER!


LoveQuest, a romantic fantasy, is a light-hearted retelling of one of the most enduring love stories from ancient Greek mythology: the forbidden passion of Eros, the god of Love, for the mortal woman Psyche.

A god’s love for a mortal woman…

It is ancient Greece, a world of gods, superstition, and magic. The villagers dwelling under the eyes of the jealous and capricious gods on Mount Olympus seek to gain their favor and to uncover the mysteries that only the immortals can know by turning to priests, soothsayers, seers, and fortune-tellers.

The oracle of the divine Apollo is one of the most famous of these seers. Although physically nothing more than a pool of water in a cavern, its wisdom is so renown across Greece that many journey far and wide to seek its counsel.

Among the pilgrims are the wealthy cloth merchant Pericles, his wife Leena, and their daughters Medea, Tanna, and Psyche. Although Psyche is blessed by Aphrodite, the goddess of Beauty, and is cherished by the people of her village for her loveliness, she cares little for their attention, seeking only the approval of her envious and malicious sisters.

Medea and Tanna ridicule the oracle’s prophecy that Psyche will make a “marvelous” marriage to someone “not human,” and use it as another means to torment their sister, driving her to tears.

Offended by Psyche’s behavior and not accustomed to being taken for granted, Aphrodite retaliates by asking her son Eros, the god of Love, to punish Psyche with a life of lovelessness.

Coming to Psyche and her sisters under a cloak of invisibility, Eros is filled with pity for Psyche but determined to carry out his mother’s wishes. Aphrodite’s plan goes amok when Eros wounds himself with his own arrow carrying out the punishment. He falls in love with the woman his mother hates.

Eros must make a decision: Will he do his mother’s bidding and resist the power of love, or will he defy her by setting his own course in pursuit of Psyche’s heart?

And, if he develops an elaborate plan to win Psyche, whose help can he enlist? Is love with Psyche possible, and how long can he keep up his deception before his mother discovers him?

Compared with Eros, Psyche is a novice at love. Eros can’t approach her as a human suitor would approach a human woman. She too has a decision to make: Should she believe the loving words of a mysterious stranger, or should she believe her sisters?

The consequences for Eros and Psyche are dear. Aphrodite’s temper is not something to toy with. She is angry enough with Psyche, but if Psyche should do wrong to her son Eros, there might be no end to the punishment Psyche faces at the hands of the jealous goddess.

Psyche must choose between betrayal and fidelity, just as Eros must connive to win her love and the approval of his mother. Both of them must be put to the test in order to find their heart’s desire.

Review

"...a classic Fairy Story... a masterful job." -- Idony Lisle"...beautifully written, compelling -- and fun!" -- Bill Worth

From the Author

Since 6 years old, I have had a passion for writing, so I naturally pursued a career in journalism and communications. During my work-life, I wrote advertising copy and feature stories for newspapers, and served as media, public relations and employee communications coordinator for non-profit organizations and corporations. As a technical communications specialist in the IT industry, I wrote manuals, specifications, and requirements.

I still found time to write creatively, although not as much as I liked. I authored a book, published a short story, and managed an online discussion group, but most of my creative writing remained in various stages of completion. When I retired, I returned to those drafts as if they were buried treasure.

LoveQuest was the most complete of all my drafts. Written in the late 1980s, it was a summation of all of my most romantic notions. I am glad to say that I have updated LoveQuest, and it is now a published work.
I plan to devote the rest of my life to creative writing, and to the stories of people, real and fictional, who touch our imagination and excite our sympathy

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was born and raised thirty miles northwest of Pittsburgh. Learning to read gave me the incentive to want to write. I was six years old. After college graduation, it only seemed natural to me that I seek occupations where I could do what I loved.

Spending my career writing for corporations gave me little time to explore my creative side. I hope to make up for it now that I am retired.

Currently, I have a Amazon Kindle Vella series, "Silence of the Centuries," a sci-fi political dystopia, that is published and available from the Kindle library.

My other books are "LoveQuest," a modern retelling of the myth of Eros and Psyche, and "Brief Candles," a historical novel based in the time of the Wars of the Roses.

I plan to devote the rest of my life to creative writing, and to the stories of people, real and fictional, who touch our imagination and excite our sympathy

    5.0 out of 5 stars LoveQuest by Pamela Jean Horter-Moore is entertaining and nicely written, a really fun and easy read

    LoveQuest by Pamela Jean Horter-Moore is entertaining and nicely written, a really fun and easy read. While the rendition stuck to the original Greek myth it fleshed out the characters, including the Oracle, and made them real and contemporary in feeling. It was a nice twist, reminding us that even across the ages and through mythology, people haven't changed. The Oracle and the Gods and Goddesses all came to life with real emotions. Hotter-Moore's easy prose and clean style are a good compliment to a story that could be stale, but instead has new life in this version.

    LoveQuest is a page-turning love story. The writing and plot are fresh and entertaining while staying true to the original Greek myth. The bigger-than-life personalities of the Greek god and goddesses jump off the page and the story holds the reader to the very end. Read this book for a wonderful escape from everyday life.

    Although romantic novels are not my usual genre, I really loved this book. It is a light, often witty, enjoyable fantasy. Pamela is not only a romantic novel writer. Her first book was a historical novel, and her blogs cover many topics. I would highly recommend this novel, and the author.

    5.0 out of 5 stars LoveQuest: A Fresh Perspective on Greek Mythology
    Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2017

    I loved LoveQuest! Horter-Moore has taken characters from Greek mythology and put them in a new and interesting love story. While creatively crafting a fresh twist, Horter-Moore still stays true to familiar elements of the gods' and goddesses' personalities. It's a pleasurable read that left me wanting a sequel.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Quest for "LOVE"
    Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2017
    Format: Kindle
    This Romantic Fantasy is a delightful view/aspect in the likes of the Mythology Realm. It takes you "Beyond", to a place of Wonder, Enchantment, Romance, & Love. I ESPECIALLY adore the artwork on the front cover, depicting two Fairytale beings hopelessly "In Love" with each other, never to let their Love for one another fade or die, yet, live on Always & Forever! GREAT Romantic novel consisting of the Pure Blessing of Love. Pamela projects her story is an extremely endearing way that "takes in" the reader. She is a highly talented & gifted writer, which shows in the "Passion" in which this Romantic Novel was written. FIVE STARS!!!!!
