Today, I’m interviewing E.H. Timms about their upcoming short story Create My Own Perfection. An ownvoices retelling of Medusa, Create My Own Perfection will be released April 2nd. Last week, I got to share the cover reveal with you all. This week I’m back with the interview I promised then. So… Let me share the description with you and then we’ll talk about creating an aroace Medusa tale!

“It’s not every day you get to put the fear of Medusa into a god.”

Emma Stone, medusa, is the groundskeeper for Olson College of Extensive Education, a place where everyone is welcome, from the mythical to the magical. When her selkie best friend loses her skin in Fresher’s week, the race is on to find it before someone uses it against her.

The search brings Emma face to face with her oldest enemy – and forces her to confront the worst nightmares of her past.

“It’s not every day you get to put the fear of Medusa into a god.”

Emma Stone, medusa, is the groundskeeper for Olson College of Extensive Education, a place where everyone is welcome, from the mythical to the magical. When her selkie best friend loses her skin in Fresher’s week, the race is on to find it before someone uses it against her.

The search brings Emma face to face with her oldest enemy – and forces her to confront the worst nightmares of her past.

If you enjoy queer retellings of myths and legends, you’ll definitely want to check this story out! If you enjoy Greek retellings (but maybe find yourself disappointed that aroace rep seems generally restricted to interpretations of Artemis), you need this story in your life as soon as possible. It’s an ownvoices aroace take on Medusa and it’s utterly delightful. (Disclaimer: As an aroace who felt seen by this story, I may be a little biased, but come on. I felt seen, and I won’t be the only one who does. That’s worth everything.)

I’m really excited to share this cover with you! It was designed by James from GoOnWrite.com and really captures the feel of the story.
