Sappho Sings

This is a place for me to share my feelings toward the writing/publishing process in general. I call the place "Sappho Sings" because I feel her presence in my life as The Poetess just as some feel Homer as The Poet. Though she and I are separated by centuries, I hear her voice in the Timeless Universe. She is my idol, my muse, my soul mate. It is my privilege to honor her in my work.

Interesting bit of history and background on your heroine character, Peggy. I assume you discovered lots of stuff like this when doing your research for your novels?
