An American werewolf in Delos (and Mykonos)

Delos is a small island in the Cyclades. In Greek mythology, it is the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. It is one of the most important archaeological sites in the world.


A center of politics and trade as well as religion, Delos has spectacular remains, including the Terrace of Lions, dedicated about 2600 years ago.

The island itself is really gorgeous, and the light is incredible.

And even if there were sherds lying all over the ground, we would never DREAM of taking them. Even if they were probably not in their original context.

Mykonos is about a mile away by boat. The water was pretty rough, but it made for great scenery at lunch time. The mussels were good but the octopus was meh.


Yes, it is that white and blue.

Yes, the wildflowers and sites on Delos were really that cool.

Linda, I've been so very lucky! Right now, I'm working on a number of novels and short stories--some archaeological, some historical, some urban fantasy, some thriller-y! I promise to let everyone know as soon as the next one is ready!
