Green Flash



Another novel excerpt has been published, this "Green Flash"—in Hawai'i rather than Crete.

"All day she thought of the dark skin of the Polynesian dancer, Gabriel, knifing into the turquoise sunshot water with its black heart (son of Pele), the bright-sailed catamaran like a Hawaiian Icarus flying into the sun, saying “it’s better at dusk.”  The green flash that her father yearned for as the sun went, swallowed into night, the yearning color of salvationout in the region where mirages live."

The publisher is Silver Stork, in their "Solais" issue—"of sunlight."
