Awen Waxes Wroth!

The Achilles Bra - Heroic, no?
The Iliad discussion at the Pub in Awen has exceeded my expectations.  Yes, that's right - Rhiannon has begged for another evening discussion.
Actually, people are showing up for this.  They are commenting.  You'd think more people would be able to relate to cozy mysteries (I know I love 'em!), and saying you're going to discuss the Iliad is just a teeny, weeny, wee bit pretentious, but I'm counting this as an unqualified success.
I'd like to thank the folks who've shown up so far, whether they've read the Iliad or not (most people know something about the characters in it), for their comments.  They've given me more to think about and I just love that!

Sing, O Goddess!



... of the anger of that Achilleus dude.  Lludmila will be hosting a month-long discussion of The Iliad at The Pub, Awen beginning - oh, look at the poster, forheavenssake.  By popular demand (that is, Rhiannon whined at me),  an evening discussion on Tuesday, August 9 at 6 pm PDT has been added.

This is by no means a staid and scholarly discussion.  There is so much to love and hate in this story, so much to laugh at and so much to mourn.

If you stop by Lludmila's vardo on Awen, you can pick up a notecard and a free Bear t-shirt!  See the Unslutty and Undead posting!

Shameless Self-Promo

Lludmila rearranges her posters on Awen.

We're trying to keep two months ahead in the Cozy Mysteries.  We meet on either the last Monday at 11 am or last Tuesday at 6 pm of each month at the Pub in Awen, whichever you find more convenient.  November's book is Ghosts by Paul Auster and December's is Zombies of the Gene Pool by Sharyn McCrumb (the latter chosen because - well, you can just guess).  Both books are easy to get hold of inexpensively.  The former is quite colorful and mysterious - and the latter just good, silly fun.  
Hope to see you there!  Oh, and stop by my plot of land (it's right across the water from the Pub) and pick up a notecard about that and, of course, Bob and Bear's music.
