ΜΙΑ ΑΠΡΟΣΜΕΝΗ ΣΥΜΜΑΧΟΣ
Όπως στην Ιλιάδα, η Κίρκη που πρωτοσυναντάμε στον Όμηρο, συναρπάζει τους αναγνώστες όπως αιχμαλώτισε τον Οδυσσέα και τους άνδρες του. Η Απροσδόκητη Σύμμαχος, αποκαθιστά εμπιστοσύνη στην γυναικεία διαίσθηση και ανατρέπει τον μύθο της κακιάς μάγισσας σε νέες εμπλοκές με τον Γλαύκο και τη Σκύλλα. Οι αντίπαλοι μετατρέπονται σε συμμάχους και η Κίρκη επικρατεί με την γυναικεία της αίγλη σε έναν ανδροκρατούμενο κόσμο ηρώων, ημίθεων και Ολύμπιων θεών που επεμβαίνουν στον κόσμο της.
It’s the Greek translation of Sophia’s award-winning novel, AN UNEXPECTED ALLY, book 1 in ‘The Greek Tales’ series. $20
ΕΠΙΣΤΡΟΦΗ ΣΤΗ ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚΗ
Μετά το διαζύγιο των γονιών της, η επτάχρονη Σοφία μεγαλώνει με τη γιαγιά της και αργότερα με τη δεύτερη σύζυγο του πατέρα της, βλέποντας τη μητέρα της μόνο τα Σαββατοκύριακα. Χρόνια μετά, αφού έχει χτίσει τη ζωή και την καριέρα της στις ΗΠΑ, επιστρέφει στην Ελλάδα για να βρει τον τάφο της μητέρας της και να ανακαλύψει την αλήθεια πίσω από τον χωρισμό των γονιών της.
Με ενσυναίσθηση και ωριμότητα, η αφήγηση της Σοφίας φωτίζει τις σκιές του παρελθόντος και εμπνέει όσους αναζητούν απαντήσεις να συνεχίσουν με θάρρος την αναζήτησή τους.
It’s the Greek translation of Sophia’s: award-winning memoir, SOPHIA’S RETURN: UNCOVERING MY MOTHER’S PAST. $20

Help me support local bookstores!
As an avid reader and a writer, I want to see independent bookstores thrive. They’re part of our community, part of our fabric. Places we can connect, discover new authors, enter new worlds. I recently learned about Bookshop.org. It’s an online bookstore with a mission to financially support local, independent bookstores. As more and more people buy their books online, the creators sought to develop an easy, convenient way for you to get your books and support bookstores at the same time.

I’ve started my own Bookshop SHOP! Each sale not only gives me a 10% commission, but also gives a matching 10% to independent bookstores.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: If you want to find a specific local bookstore to support, find them on the map and select, they’ll receive the full profit % off your order. Otherwise, your order will contribute to an earnings pool that will be evenly distributed among independent bookstores (even those that don’t use Bookshop). By design, they give away over 75% of the profit margin to stores, publications, authors, and others who make up the thriving, inspirational culture around books!
Check out my store. I add new books to my lists all the time. You can still search the site for other selections. Click below.
Looking for Kindle books or other self-published titles?
Not all self-published books are available in bookshops. And some have only been published in Kindle format. No problem! You can find them on Amazon AND if you click through my affiliate links, I’ll get a small commission at no cost to you.

Please note that if you click through any of my affiliate links, I will either receive a small commission or other reward, at no cost to you.

Need Web hosting?
Web hosting: DreamHost
People always ask me who I use for a web host and how that’s going. When I started WindyCity Greek magazine, I used a different hosting service. The magazine took off so quickly and to increase the speed, capacity, and security of the site, I switched to DreamHost. My tech person highly recommended them. Now, if you have an issue you can’t speak to someone on the phone but they do get back to you pretty quickly and will help you resolve an issue or answer any questions. This site runs on DreamHost. If you sign up, I will earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
