distributor in the U.S.

I am the author of the two novels--Island of the Winds and Windswept (and working on the third of the Winds Trilogy now). This is to advise that we now have a distributor in the U.S.A. at least to my knowledge, for both the English original novels and those in Greek translation.Cosmos Publishing P.O.Box 2255 RiverVale, N.J. 07675 phones 201 6643494 201 664-3402 mobile: 0932977156 greekbooks@worldnet.att.net

Fast/terrific read - particularly if you have been to Chios

I read this book on my flight home from Chios -- how interesting to read about the Turkish/Chiotian conflict while recognizing the locations mentioned throughout. Athena Damis did a wonderful job with her character development and I couldn't wait to run out and read Windswept!

Riveting and Historical

This book was exceptional. A riveting tale about the Turkish occupation of Greece. Never before has a book told such a story of how war divides a family. This book would be a best seller if it was marketed and promoted properly. The book will make you want to visit the beautiful island of Chios. Please do yourself a favor and buy this book.
