Cover Reveal – The Song of Youth, a supernatural romantic comedy

*Drum Roll* *Cover Reveal Alert*

Hi, All! I am so excited to present to you today, The Song of Youth, my new novel featuring angels from The Amulet!

It’s a standalone story!

Emilia wished to be young again… And then it happened.

Emilia feels she’s lost out on life and wishes on her 45th birthday to be young again. A mysterious gypsy called Esmera takes pity on her and makes it happen, showing her how to switch her age back and forth by twenty years simply by listening to a song. Soon, new developments sweep Emilia off to the island of Milos, where she was raised, to start her life anew.

A nosy neighbor, a flirtatious ex, and an obnoxious cousin cause trouble as Emilia tries her new gift from time to time, but then two strange girls, Elise and Chloe, turn up one day and begin to help in miraculous ways, being just as magical as Esmera. They are all angels, except Emilia has no idea…

Being young again makes Emilia feel exuberant, but it pales in comparison to the way Andreas, a handsome Greek widower and newly established restauranteur on the island, makes her feel. Together they rescue a puppy, and now she feels like she is being rescued too. Because Andreas, who is in his 50s, has eyes only for the real her, not for her younger self…

What will she choose? The sweetness of love… or the exhilarating gift of youth?

Yes, folks! It took me a while, having trudged through a few family hardships these past few years, but I finally got there! Many thanks to those among you who wrote from time to time asking me when the new book was coming out. Sorry it took so long. The first draft is now finished and the editing begins next week. I plan to work hard on this book so I can publish it on Amazon in time for your summer vacation – well, August, for sure. Both kindle and paperback.

Spyri never forgot that old summer in Corfu when she met Markos…

Spyri, a half-Greek restauranteur in her early thirties, is back on the island of Corfu, staying in her grandmother’s village home to decompress from her busy life in London.

Once again, precious memories of that old summer pour in, the time when she’d fallen for Markos, a timid teenager from Salonica staying with his aunt in the village.

He never returned over the years, but, somehow, she never forgot him. Now, Spyri hears sad news of Markos’s aunt’s passing. But her grief is mixed with new hope when she finds out that he has arrived at the village for the funeral. The moment Spyri and Markos meet again, sparks begin to fly…

Running Haunted: My new book is a romantic comedy with a ghost #paranormal #romance #Greek

Yes! Thrilled to present today my new novel on Amazon. It is set in the charming Greek town of Nafplio and features a marathon runner, a widower with three underage kids, a quirky pug, and a ghost!

Here’s the book description:

Kelly ran a marathon… and wound up running a house. With a ghost in it.

Kelly Mellios is a stunning, athletic woman, who has learned—the hard way—to value herself. Having just finished her first marathon in the alluring Greek town of Nafplio, she bumps into Alex, a gorgeous widower with three underage children, who is desperately looking for a housekeeper.

The timing seems perfect, seeing that Kelly aches to start a new life, and Nafplio seems like the ideal place to settle down. She accepts the position on the spot, but little does she know that Alex’s house has an extra inhabitant that not even the family knows about…

The house is haunted by Alex’s late wife, who has unfinished business to tend to. By using the family pet, a quirky pug named Charlie, the ghost is able to communicate with Kelly and asks her for help. She claims she wants to ensure her loved ones are happy before she departs, but offers very little information about her plans.

Kelly freaks out at first, but gradually finds herself itching to help. It is evident there’s room for improvement in this family… Plus, her growing attraction towards Alex is overpowering…

Will Kelly do the ghost’s bidding? How will it affect her? And just how strange is this pug?

The book is on pre-order at a special price of only $0.99!

The Amulet, a Greek paranormal romance, receives a 5-star review from Readers’ Favorite

Wuhoo! I’ve received another glowing review from Readers’ Favorite, this time for The Amulet!

Here’s an excerpt:

“What a stunning read! You can feel the summer heat and taste the sumptuous Greek dishes as the words just leap from the page. Effrosyni Moschoudi’s love of Greece and its many treasures is evident in The Amulet. I loved the strong female characters. Mrs. Sparks, Matina, Katie, and Elise are such strong women and Chloe, the little girl who loves moussaka, is charming. There are humor and pathos alongside love and sadness, and you will love the story of the smelly angel with dreadful eating habits! I loved this book and look forward to visiting Greece again in the pages of another novel by this author.”

A song about the Parthenon Marbles

June 20, 2019 was the anniversary of ten years since the opening of the Acropolis Museum in Athens. Greek singer Hellena chose this day to present a song to the world about the Parthenon Marbles (aka Parthenon Sculptures), dedicated to support the  just cause of their repatriation to Greece since the looting of the Parthenon by Lord Elgin in the early 1800s.

Hear the song below, and make sure to scroll down for FREE short stories about the Marbles too!

 

GO HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO CLIP OF HELLENA’S SONG  

 

Are you on Facebook? Go here to see a video of Hellena standing before the stolen Marbles in the British Museum informing the visitors about this great injustice, then start to sing the song. Well done, Hellena!

 

Héllena is a singer/songwriter born in the shadow of the Mountain of the Gods, Olympus, in Greece. She has played at some of the most renowned venues such as The Troubadour and The Beatles’ Cavern Club. In addition, she has charted in the Top 20 MTV Unsigned listing and performed at SXSW. Live appearances on the likes of BBC London Radio 94.9FM have further enhanced Héllena’s exposure.


Her new Single entitled “The Parthenon Marbles (Bring Them Back)” is both inspired by, and dedicated to, the Parthenon Marbles which are currently residing unlawfully in the possession of the British Museum. The song will be used by organizations around the world to raise awareness of an issue which originates from over 200 years ago brought about by the defacement of the Parthenon by the British ambassador Lord Elgin.

This is a stripped back recording with piano and vocal in order to intensify its raw emotion and make the meaning of the song clear, which is to right the wrongs of the past and reunify the Parthenon.

Hellena’s website: https://www.hellenaofficial.com/

FREE eBOOK! 

The book contains two FREE short stories about the Parthenon Marbles. Both of them offer possible versions (with supernatural elements!) of the celebrations that will take place in Athens the day of their return. Yes, I am a firm believer that one day soon, they will! And as it happens in my stories, I believe the Greek gods will be watching! Download the book now and enjoy 🙂

I am so thrilled I could pop! Readers’ Favorite has reviewed The Raven Witch of Corfu and given it five stars! This is the second glowing review I receive from this prestigious site. The other 5-star review was given to my urban fantasy, The Necklace of Goddess Athena (which also received a silver medal in their 2017 International Book Awards).

“A delightful read and the perfect treat for those who love sweet romances set in stunning locations.”

“The magical elements remain grounded in reality and are woven into a modern world.”

Readers’ Favorite is one of the largest book review and award contest sites on the Internet. They have earned the respect of renowned publishers like Random House, Simon & Schuster, and Harper Collins, and have received the “Best Websites for Authors” and “Honoring Excellence” awards from the Association of Independent Authors. They are also fully accredited by the BBB (A+ rating), which is a rarity among Book Review and Book Award Contest companies.

Here’s the review of The Raven Witch of Corfu, posted by Liz Konkel for Readers’ Favorite:

The Raven Witch of Corfu by Effrosyni Moschoudi is a fantasy romance set in Greece. Twenty years ago, while Lizzie was on vacation with her family, a witch took her twin brother Tom away. Now, she’s finally returned to Greece with the mission of finding her brother and bringing him home. But when she finds Tom again, bringing him home won’t be simple. The witch will only let them go free if Tom fulfills the task of healing three souls. If he fails, he’ll be taken back. As she works to reconnect with her brother and outsmart the witch, she leans on new allies for help and finds herself falling for an old friend…
