At the Des Moines airport preparing to leave Iowa in 1979, and head to England in 1060. Jet lag again!!

I'm on Cyprus in 1974, reminiscing about a love affair from twelve years earlier.

It does from that description, doesn't it? Actually it's literary fiction set around the Turkish invasion of Cyprus (Christy Lefteri's A Watermelon, a Fish, and a Bible).

I'm in prison in Salisbury circa 1180 and thinking about sex (again!).

So-so. So far it's just a lite fluffy mystery. Reminds me of the Botticelli Secret without the potty mouth.

Long, long ago in the city of Corinth, plotting the demise of my ex-husband's new bride and father-in-law. And after all I've done for him!
