Sing O Muse, of the rage of Medusa, cursed by gods and feared by men…\nFrom the mists of time, and ages past, 
The muses have gathered; hear now their songs.\nA web of revenge spun ‘neath the moon; 
A poet’s wife who breaks her bonds; 
A warrior woman on a quest of honor; 
A painful lesson for a treacherous heart; 
A goddess and a mortal, bound together by the travails of motherhood. 
And more.\nListen to the muses, as they sing aloud…HER story.\nMusings of the Muses, 65 stories and poems based on Greek myths, is an anthology of monsters, heroines, and goddesses, ranging from ancient Greece to modern day America. They, like the myths themselves, cast long shadows of horror, fantasy, love, betrayal, vengeance, and redemption. This anthology revisits those old tales and presents them anew, from her point of view.
