Tuscany, 1603. Andolosia Petasos dreams of being the next Da Vinci. Only Fate has cursed him to make hats. It’s not Andolosia’s fault. It was his Greek ancestor who stole Hermes’ teleportation hat and brought down all of Olympus. Turns out, the gods frown on that sort of thing.   Twelve centuries earlier, Olympus is crumbling. The goddess Moira tries weaving a future that will spare her from an eternity in Oblivion. Short on time and Destiny Thread, she intertwines her destiny with the fates of a hatter and a water nymph.   Back in Andolosia's time, the powerful and eccentric Sansone de Medici hires the young hatter to create a fantastical hat — a job that will upend Andolosia's life. At Sansone's Florentine palazzo, Andolosia stumbles upon the belligerent yet beguiling Carlotta Lux. Sansone has kidnapped Carlotta because she descends from the water nymph Daphne. Of course, Andolosia rescues her using Hermes’ hat. But instead of thanking him, Carlotta is livid. She was within inches of killing her captor.   Sansone is driven by a supernatural urge that compels him to catch her or die trying. And now Andolosia and Carlotta can’t run far enough to escape him . . . or their fates.   Fate Accompli is Book 1 of The Water Nymph Gospels, a humorous work of mythic fiction honored as a 2021 Foreword INDIES Finalist in the humor category.
