Love & the Goddess One woman, One myth, Three Goddesses A woman's voyage of self discovery begins on the internet leading all the way to Brazil and onto the Andean highlands of Peru. Devastated from her relationship break- up, Kate Canavan is at a loss until she re-discovers a hidden painting of the triple Goddess from Greek mythology. Her interest in mythology and spirituality is re-ignited. A voyage of self discovery begins with internet dating using the names of each of the Goddesses in the triple myth. When a health scare intervenes Kate and her friends go together to visit a famous healer in Brazil and a spiritual guru in Peru, where all three friends begin spiritual journeys of forgiveness, gratitude and learning to live in the now. Read it to find out if Kate finds love along the way.




EXCERPT: 


“I fibbed. It’s a double date. Oh don’t be mad, Kate. Nothing serious – just a bit of male company. They’re fine. Virtual monks, if you ask me. Hey, you can even team up with the good-looking guy.” “Are you mad? They could be crazies!” I was about to turn away when the wrought-iron door opened wide.

1-        Can you tell us something interesting about your writing process?

Though I plan a book; drawing up characters and plot line by outlining the main events of each chapter, the story line will change as I write. My characters become very vivid after the first eight chapters and they start dictating the story.

2-       What part of the writing process is the easiest/hardest for you?

Sitting down to write the first eight to ten chapters of the first draft is the most difficult part as I lead a busy life with lots of possible distractions.

3-       Who is your favorite character (that you’ve written)?

Kate, my lead character in Love & the Goddess because she revealed aspects of my own personality; – a more quirky, humorous side that is not always evident bas I’m quiet shy.

4-      Is there anything you’re working on now?

Yes I’m working on another novel set in the fashion world.

5-       Where did the idea for your new  book  come from?

My time working as a fashion stylist and p.r. consultant.



About the Author: 


Living in Ireland, Mary Elizabeth Coen is a former Home Economics teacher and lifestyle journalist. Though she always dreamed of being a writer, Mary Elizabeth took a rather circuitous route getting there. You could say she has had several incarnations in this lifetime from Home Economics teacher to Fashion Editor of a magazine, along with being mother to three wonderful children, Mark, Janet and Emily. Due to demand from clients she opened her own pr consultancy firm specializing in fashion; – the dream job for a fashionista, availing of great discounts on wonderful shoes and vintage clothing. Unfortunately the five inch stilettos had to go when Mary’s health deteriorated and she received a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. Work too, had to take a back seat as Mary sought to maintain optimum health and became interested in holistic medicine and personal development. In the process, she developed a passion for mythology, philosophy and the study of ancient spiritual traditions. As a seeker, she travelled to Mayan sites in Mexico, visited a famous healer’s ashram in Brazil and undertook a shamanic journey through Peru. Mary’s book Love & the Goddess is based on her travels. Mary is now in robust good health, working as a full-time author and stress management lecturer, while also running a website called Goddess MECA. The acronym is for Mary Elizabeth Coen Assists the Goddess in everywoman through sharing her love of cookery fashion and mythology. Mary brings her experience from teaching, using tools that are practical and easily integrated into every day busy lives. Her clients range from private individuals and businesses, to larger corporate bodies.
