About the author

Long ago, the Muses had successfully inspired another round of authors. They toasted to their latest accomplishments--Homer, Sophocles, and even that lovable rascal, Aristophanes.

But lo, one Muse had lingered too long at "the club" with Dionysus. Mass quantities of wine were consumed, and the bender lasted over two Millennia. Afterwards, as she sat with the little known Greek Deity, Coffeeteas, she nursed a wicked hangover and looked down at the authors she had inspired during the night that sank into the river Lethe.

There were pathetic poets, nonsensical novelists, authors who penned Sponge Bob erotic fan-fiction, and, in addition to these literary losers, she created an obscure writer known as Amanda Kozik. Amanda's writings were poorly distributed and awkwardly combined absurdities with outlandish epic drama. The writing was an insult to the gods. And, our poor, hung-over Muse knew that she would never be able to face her sisters again.

Reviews

[Frances]

Started off interestingly, but I found the prose getting stiffer, and the character voices weren't distinct enough to me for the chapter switching to work. Doesn't seem like my thing.
