Contract for Hulk Hercules

[cathschaffstump]

Hoohah! I have the contract for Hulk Hercules: Professional Wrestler in hand.

This is going to be a cool project. The thrust of this book, which could ultimately turn into a series for Cats Curious Press if it does well, is a group of 3 kids who are into classical mythology, and who discover what the gods are doing in every day life. The first god they encounter is Hercules.

My job will be to teach my readers about the myths that the gods are associated with, translate those myths into a modern context, and write an engaging book with an interesting cast of characters that will carry from story to story.

It does sound like fun, doesn’t it?

I plan to start working on it this summer, which looks to be about as soon as I can.

I think I need to go to Chicago to do some research…

I have to give the Cats Curious editor sonyamsipes credit for the idea. She thought I would be good at writing the book, based on a couple of other submissions I'd sent.

I'll keep you posted when it's done and coming out, most likely 2009.
