I fell in love with the stories and myths of the ancient Greeks at a very early age, and worked on honing my writing skills in between formal education, marriage, and child rearing. Concurrent with building the series, I ran a successful writing/editing company, helping authors ready their work for publication and providing hundreds of articles on demand for marketing use and teaching seminars.
The Child of the Erinyes is mythic historical fiction that begins in the Bronze Age and winds up in the near future.
Writing Influences? Patricia A. McKillip, Margaret Atwood, Anita Diamant, Peter S. Beagle, Anne Rice, and Yevgeny Zamyatin, to name a few.
It took about fifteen years to research the Bronze Age segments of the series, and encompassed rare historical documents, mythology, archaeology, ancient writing, ancient religions, and volcanology. I'm a rather obsessed historian; the research, the struggle for perfection, never ends.
"The Year-god s Daughter" is my first novel: Book One of "The Child of the Erinyes" Series. "The Thinara King" will follow in a few months. All of my books will be published in paperback and eBook forms.
Though I can't remember actually living in the Bronze Age, the Middle Ages, the Victorian era, and so on, I do believe in the ability to find a way through the labyrinth of time, and that deities will sometimes speak to us in dreams and visions, gently prompting us to tell their forgotten stories.
Who knows? It could make a difference.
I address myths and other interesting details about the books at my website. If any questions should arise from readers, I will endeavor to answer them there. It is at http://rebeccalochlann.com
