Fortunately, I can still introduce Judith and her story of Briseis and Achilles to my readers.
But the surgery wreaked havoc on my schedule and I have had to postpone reading Hand of Fire. I was delighted with the results of the surgery I would not go so far as to say I was viewing the world in black and white and it suddenly flamed into vivid technicolor, but there is no doubt that everything is brighter and sharper now. Judith kindly sent me an ARC to read, but neither of us expected that I’d suddenly find myself needing to have my cataract surgery performed sooner rather than later. When I learned that she was completing Hand of Fire, a novel about the Trojan princess Briseis, famously captured by Achilles during the siege of Troy, I was fascinated I’ve always been intrigued by the story of Troy. While in Tucson, I met and became friends with a gifted writer who shares my passion for the past, Judith Starkston. I ended my book tour for A King’s Ransom at the Tucson Festival of Books, which was a delightful experience and one I recommend highly to all my fellow book-lovers.
