Monica Roy

Monica Roy writes mythology books for adults and children, with Greek, Egyptian, and Norse retellings that keep ancient stories vivid and accessible.

Her work brings myth back to its original power. It is not a collection of stories, but a journey of symbols, trials, and thresholds that still speaks to modern life. With narrative precision and deep respect for the source material, she preserves the tone of the old stories without flattening them.

Alongside retellings, she also writes about archetypes and relationships, using myth as a lens to understand recurring patterns in desire, choice, and human dynamics. In her world, symbols are not decorations. They are meaning.

Her children’s books are clear, engaging, and ideal for reading aloud, often enriched with questions and playful prompts that invite curiosity and reflection, so reading becomes a living experience.

Her aim is to keep mythology alive in its double nature: wonder and meaning, adventure and memory, imagination and depth.
