|  | | Andromakhe - A Novel of Troy and a Woman's Triumphant Valor
"Kristina O'Donnelly takes the immortal tale of Troy – gods, heroes, and battles, but gives us the woman's take. The strong women that are victimized by the violence, yet survive and ultimately rise above it. O'Donnelly has done a great job taking the violent male-centered story of The Iliad and bringing it a female perspective. Men get the glory, women do the suffering (men suffer too, of course, but it's often their choice--women have fewer choices, and had fewer yet in those ancient days). Andromakhe is a major work and must-read story for 2006." Rob Preece, Author Veil of the Goddess

"The end of Troy will never end ... The flame that consumed it, will
itself never be consumed." [G. K. Chesterton]
Trojan Enchantment - Synopsis
Rip-roaring contemporary romantic suspense/travelogue in an exotic
land. Cornucopia of the sights, scents, sounds and flavors of Lands
of the Morning. Olivia Hayden, 24, mild-mannered librarian from
Indianapolis, USA, is a chrysalis eager to be a butterfly. Until
now, just about the only aspect of hers fit to be called free-
spirited, was her riotous, titian hair. On a tour of Turkey to
fulfill her late grandfather's dream of visiting ancient Troy, she
falls in love with Dr. Somer Berk, 35, a professor of archaeology.
Tall, blond, handsome and suave, Berk claims descent from the
original Trojans, and is hot on the trail of smugglers dealing in
artifacts that harkens to the famous Treasure of King Priam, of the
Iliad.
Hayden and Berk take to each other almost immediately, and with
events unfolding at the speed of Orient Express on steroids, it
seems impossible to deny the destiny that demands fulfillment.
It's the hot, tense, mid-summer of 2005, with terrorists of
different agendas, bombing England and Turkey.
Olivia Hayden, American, and Somer Berk, Turk, although bound by
relentless physical desire, and the love of Troy and its legacy,
find themselves battling separation by culture and outlook on life….
