Holidays...finally!

Sitting on a balcony - somewhere in the South of Europe, time seems to slow down. Finally I have time to enjoy the sun, write - and to read.

The story of Romulus and Remus, written by Tania Kinkel is holding my attention, a fresh and surprising approach to this legend that has been part of of our heritage not only for hundreds but thousands of years. Fascinating!

As I'm working on my next book I try to ignore the cascade of terrible news inundating the internet. Why do people never learn from history? Why do we still confuse religion and race with violence in the 21st century?

Reading Tania Kinkel's book I discover that women 700 BC in Egypt were independent, could run their own business and walk alone in the streets of the ancient cities. Try this today in Cairo!

They call it progress....
