Cover Art!

It arrived this morning - all golden and honey warm.

Alike As Two Bees - a novella set near Athens in the mid 4th century BC - is about an apprentice sculptor called Philon who wishes to use the most beautiful horse he has ever seen as a model for a masterpiece. Her rider, Hilarion, is not beautiful at all but has a cheery grin that Philon can't ignore. Meanwhile Hilarion would be fancying the pants off Philon, if he was wearing any, but will settle for him in a chiton.

Ancient Greece in all its sunlit, olive shaded glory with some gentle loving thrown in for the heck of it.

The above blurb, of course, isn't the offical one but i need to get the spellings checked on that so it will do for now.

I'm pleased. Can you tell I'm pleased?

That's a really beautiful cover! I like the warm colours a lot.

(And, hey, you can still put Philon in pants if he has to dress up as a Scythian for any reason - to impersonate the police (http://historyoftheancientworld.com/2011/08/the-scythian-archers-policing-athens/), maybe? ;)).

Thank you :) it's very appropriate because honey figures in the story. I like it very much.

I'd love to write about the archers. They make a guest appearance in Lysistrata and were famous for being horny and drunk! :) Maybe a pardoy police procedural about a well born Athenian who pissed off Pericles and is stuck trying to control a gang of crazy metics and slaves?

Yes, please! That sounds like an awesome story.
