Cycladic Girls

?Cycladic Girls? is Book II in a trilogy about Greek goddesses living among us. In Book I, ?The Winnowing," the three Fates reappear to thwart geneticists who seek to eliminate death. In Book II, the stakes are even higher as Artemis's nymph Timessa is transformed into the original Great Goddess.  In history and in prehistory, under a myriad of names in all cultures, the Great Goddess had the power to control fertility and harvests. She sustained a peaceful world for 40,000 years before patriarchal invaders overwhelmed her followers. She withdrew, and the world has been buffeted by scarcity, discontent and war ever since. Now Timessa has left the Greek divinities to ?find herself," and in doing so finds international fame as a supermodel and idol to a bevy of beautiful girls. At the same time, she gains the memories, powers and ancient traumas of the original Great Goddess. Why is the Great Goddess back? Can her rage be stopped? How does Io's love transform Timessa? What does the Great Goddess's return mean to the contemporary world? "Cycladic Girls" is a tale of intrigue, discovery and sensuality.
