7 Minutes in Book Heaven with Kelly Balch and Aphrodite's Sister

This Queer Book Saved My Life

Welcome to our Summer of Book Love series!
Every Tuesday this summer we will feature new episodes of 7 Minutes in Book Heaven which has your next summer read!
Today we meet Kelly Balch and their novel Aphrodite's Sister.
This novel series follows Petra Ambrosi, who is a Goddess with empathic abilities, though she is emotionless herself. Throughout the novel, and its subsequent sequel, she is sent down to earth, falls in love with a mortal woman, wrestles to understand her diminishing gifts, breaks Zeus' laws, and navigates an uprising against the gods.
Kelly Balch is an author of an adult queer-fantasy/fiction. Drawing on their passion for storytelling, Kelly brings a creative and empathetic approach to their photography, always striving to understand and convey the unique truths of their clients and couples. Their warm and compassionate demeanor has made them a trusted and beloved photographer in the industry.
Also, Kelly is an accomplished wedding and editorial photographer based in Los Angeles, California! With over 14 years of experience in the industry, Kelly has established themselves as a pioneering force in the queer wedding industry, having started their career before queer love was legalized in the United States.
