Book Summaries

The Murders at Argos retells the Oresteia story with Orestes and Electra as murderous teens.

Cressida Among the Greeks takes place during the last days of the Trojan War. The story of the doomed lovers is woven together with the foibles of the Trojan royal family as they try to stave off impending disaster. Cressida Among the Greeks takes off from Shakespeare and Chaucer, revisiting Troilus and Cressida, the classic tale of love and betrayal amid the chaos of war, with romantic passion and acerbic humor.
