Last teaser. Sappho’s stance in the panel…says it all. Her past is come back to haunt her.
This thing is off to print at Ka-Blam.com, and should be on sale shortly. Moving after the Christmas holidays was hard on us, and there’s been so much more to do on my end. I previewed this panel on Twitter yesterday and the approval was unanimous.
Big excitement from a lot of my fans, as I’m wrapping up #5 and on my way to #6. The next four books will be really dramatic…then it’s a wrap. Some were asking if there would be more stories after House of the Muses wraps up. You have NO idea how many old stories and manuscripts I found while we were moving over the holidays…..there will be more. In the meantime, we’re just getting started! Next time you see me will be the premiere of House of the Muses #6 – Last Child of Herakles!
This page was supposed to have gone live on Christmas day, but I, as everyone else, was caught up in the holiday. No one will ever be able to prove if this particular storyline ever happened. But as I was putting it together it struck me that this scene is indeed a culmination of all that Sappho and Alkaios fought for all those centuries ago, in their quest to force the House of Penthilos to be less cruel to the people they served. This is a story that history seems to have been bent on erasing from our memories. Another reader of mine pointed out this past week, despite the immense database of knowledge of this digital age, there seems to be less information available about Sappho now than there was when I was researching this series back in the 80s. The books are still there; but only what is deemed “important” is being disseminated.
This is our lesson for this holiday season: this is what the season was supposed to have been about, back in that bygone era nearly erased by the sands of time.
If we all take a moment to be kinder to one another, it doesn’t matter in the end what religion we subscribe to. Happy Holidays, 2009.
