This is the fabulous stone relief created by Nigel Ratcliffe, the English sculptor who lives in Kritsa.  It pictures the death of Rodanthe, heroine of the Cretan rebels and it is placed a few km outside of Kritsa at the 1823 battle site.  The story of Kritsotopoula (as Rodanthe is now remembered) is captured poems and songs and also gives a name to the main street of Kritsa.

By choosing to retell the story in a novel I hope to bring the fabulous story to a completely new audience.

Tentative start

I don't want to be a luddite but I do feel that I am getting left behind -  I still use my mobile for making phone call - DOH! So, I have decided to use Google+ and a blog to dip my toe in the water of speedy communications.

Feels a bit odd, writing to myself but if I get some interaction it will spur me on.  Today was a good time to start as I had several hours to literally sit and do nothing except browse on the internet etc.
