REVIEWER COMMENT:

Adventurous ride across the Eastern Coast of the Peloponnese!

“ARTEMIS CHILD” is a fun hybrid of fiction and non-fiction reading. The fictional elements evolve around Maria’s life adventures, and the non-fictional elements are centered around the ancient history and archeology of the Peloponnese, including Mycenaean and earlier civilizations such as Arcadian antiquity. Every time I re-read passages, I discover new things I previously missed… A very refreshing and unexpected read!

Novel scheduled to publish internationally on Amazon on October 15th in ebook, paperback, and hardcover forms. See author’s website for more information: https://dianeioannou.com
