    About this ebook

    Once upon a time, in ancient Greece, there was a lizard who lost her legs when she angered the gods. Now a lowly snake, she’d do anything to prove herself worthy of having legs again. When three very important gods need her help, the snake gets her chance. But can she accomplish the nearly impossible tasks they set before her? Especially if one is rescuing the son of the mighty Zeus? The snake has to try, or she’ll be doomed to slither along the ground . . . forever!

    Are you a fan of Rick Riordan, THE GODDESS GIRLS, or HEROES IN TRAINING? Looking for a funny short story? If so, you’re in luck—download this exciting myth today!

    Here’s the skinny: I once pet-sat an electric eel and crashed my car into a house, though not on the same day. Before I became a writer, I was reprimanded and/or fired for reading in every job I ever held. I consider this my greatest accomplishment to date. Oh, and I write mostly fantasy for adults, young adults, and middle graders. :-)
