|  | | Fixin' Things, a novel of Women at Gettysburg
17 year old Megan Loren's personal and private Battle of Gettysburg.
FIXIN' THINGS is the story of Megan Loren's struggle with past incest between herself and her "trusted" brother-in-law, and her desire to keep it secret from the sister whom she believes loves the perpetrator. The turning point of America's Civil War erupts outside her bedroom window, adding its horrors and triumphs to Megan's already complicated life. Family issues get set aside as two armies clash on her doorstep, only to return in the person of the sister's lascivious husband as soon as the battle winds down. | |  | | SAPPHO SINGS
[an augmented and enhanced version of the author's Y2K sell out hit PSAPPHA]
Here SAPPHO SINGS in her own words. Ancient phrases become the warp and weave of an intricate tapestry so delicately woven it becomes impossible to distinguish the imported threads from the weaver's own.
Readers familiar with the myriad translations of the few fragmented lines of Sappho's work left available to us may recognize a word here or a conjunct there but, as one renowned expert in antiquities discovered, the author has herself become the voice of The Poetess to the extent that invented passages read like newly discovered wonders from the past.
font color="#000080">Sappho truly sings again. She sings to the hearts of everyone, women and men of open minds, many centuries after her mortal end, with lyrical intimations of equality, love, and freedom of spirit. In a marvelous tribute to the wonders and depths of true femininity, with a star character that would champion the rights of women if alive today, Bell plucks Sappho out of a male-dominated political era long ago that tried to bury her glory, and brings her back to life for us in the twenty first century./font>
