#pearseus

I mentioned the other day how the first book in my fantasy science fiction series, Pearseus, is now titled Pearseus: Tyranny.

I am sharing today the opening chapter. While some authors advise against using a prologue, my advice is different: if you feel the book needs one, go ahead and use one. Just be careful with it. Their advice usually holds true because most people think that prologues are…

In the Bleak Mid-Winter, a Bonanza

Okay, the holidays are over but the weather in Greece certainly qualifies as bleak mid-winter. If you don’t believe me, just check out this photo I took a couple of days ago, showing the wee one in our garden. Yes, that’s Athens, Greece (albeit in the northern suburbs, at Penteli mountain’s foot). With subzero temperatures, we haven’t done much except for reading and having fun watching the wee…

Can You Help Eddie?

Daaahling, you’re gooorgeous

Who is Eddie, you might ask? Truth be told, I have no idea. Mary Natalie has been babbling away for a couple of months now, but these past days has been fixated on a single word: Eddie.

I have some wonderful news to share: the first draft of Pearseus: Endgame is finally complete! This volume concludes the series and returns to the larger philosophical questions posed by Rise of the Prince, whereas Vigil was more of an adventure.

Having reached this happy point, it’s now time to choose a cover. Given the plot, there are two main options; to go with either a lava background or an…

Submerged 5th Century Naval Base Discovered in Athens

A few years ago, a forest fire ravaged the area where we live. A friend of mine was helping the firefighters when the ground gave way and his leg fell into a hole in the ground. A hole that turned out to be an ancient tomb, complete with offerings and bones.

As this was in the middle of the forest in an area miles from Athens (or any known town), this was surprising, to say the least. That’s the…
