Description

She can see through his eyes, hear what he hears, feel what he feels, though they live millennia apart. Their precarious connection, the result of freak accidents, began (and seemed to end) in 2010 CE, when Suzanne lived Themistokles' teenage adventures in ancient Olympia. Now the connection is back, and in 418 BCE, Athens is threatened by Sparta and from within. Suzanne, a student and athlete in Lancaster, England, in 2017 CE, is a fascinated but helpless witness as Themistokles tries to save his city and his family. She is navigating her own troubled journey through mental and physical challenges, while Themistokles is dealing with Athenian politics, war, and a forbidden love affair, aided by Frog, his shrewd and resourceful slave and ally. Meanwhile, characters from The Boy in Two Minds reappear, including the spectre of Themistokles' evil nemesis, the beautiful but venomous Xenovia, whose memory simmers as a sinister presence with dramatic ramifications for him and his family. The story gathers pace and intricacy, weaving timeless themes of family duty, love versus lust, and the confirmation of identity, with the humour, action, and adventure of memorable characters, some of whom really existed in 5th century BCE Greece. The Girl in Two Worlds is Book 2 of The Connection Trilogy, following the parallel fortunes of Themistokles and Suzanne as they take on the excitements and responsibilities of adulthood. Does their connection help or hinder them? Can it be controlled? And will it ever be explained? Perhaps An Ancient Connection, Book 3 of the trilogy, will answer these questions ...

Author Biography:

Julia grew up in England and was an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher and publisher in various countries for more than 30 years. Now she writes fiction and scripts for EFL learners and general readers. As a student, she drove from London to Athens, Greece, in a very small car. When she saw the dazzling blues of the Mediterranean for the first time and ate her first cheese pie, she knew she had to live there. This led eventually to her having two bicultural children there (now adults), and two homes, one in Cumbria and one near Corinth. Her other loves include exploring and researching country-sides and coasts, and spending time with cats. But her normally nomadic lifestyle means she can't look after a real cat (or two or three). So she has a stuffed toy leopard who reclines near her desk, and HE looks after HER, in his own unblinking, undemonstrative way. Born in Ilford, Essex, Kate spent her childhood between the streets of East End London and the fields and fells of Cumbria. She developed a love of photography after receiving a camera for her 7th birthday. Having worked in TV, she is now a primary school teacher. In her spare time she designs book covers for Trifolium Books UK and Birkby Books. www.amberimages.co.uk Fliss grew up in Yorkshire, studied in UK (PPE), US (philosophy) and then UK again (sculpture). She has been a freelance copyeditor, proofreader and artist since 1992 and lived in Cumbria since 1999. Blog: ideas melt like snow (flisswtts1.wordpress.com). Instagram: @flisswatts
