Pillar Island - A Minoan Novella

The first version of this novel I have posted piece by piece in the Quill and Parchment group here on AW. I am grateful to AW and the members of this group who have tremendously encouraged me to complete this work.

If you are interested in the final novel, you can now find it in Amazon's eBook store. Below I give you links to all the sections of Part I of the novel.
