Mary Renault: An Inspiration
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010 | Reviews, The Writing Life | No Comments
My favorite author of all time is Mary Renault. For those of you who have yet to discover her, during the mid 20th century, she wrote historical novels about ancient Greece. My favorite of her novels is THE PERSIAN BOY and THE MASK OF APOLLO, but I have never read one of her books that did not teach me more about being a writer, and about what it means to be a human being.

Here, as promised, is an amazing blog post by Susan Higganbotham, author of THE STOLEN CROWN, available everywhere today. Take a gander into the mind that created that novel, then run out and buy it, if you haven’t already. You will not be sorry. I devoured THE STOLEN CROWN in one day.
