  My new book, Cally's Way, is set in Crete. A novel about love, history and self-discovery, it interweaves the 2002 story of Cally, a 25-year old business graduate, and the World War II story of her grandmother Callisto, who was a runner in the Cretan Resistance. My second novel, The Oak Island Affair, just re-released as an ebook by Iguana Books (www.iguanabooks.com), was a U.S. Next Generation Indie Book Awards winner in 2008.
