The Bacchae -- A Myth ReTold by Christy Potter
A Note from Adele Park: Today I have the opportunity to let my blog readers know about a great new book called The Bacchae -- A Myth ReTold by Christy Potter. This exciting new novel promises adventure and intrigue. I would encourage everyone to give it a look.
As
an influential newspaper publisher in post-World War II New York,
Zachary Benton seems infallible. But when his beautiful and icy wife,
Hanna, discovers he’s been having an affair with Sarah, his
Pulitzer prize-winning reporter, and that the girl is pregnant,
Zachary realizes just how much he has to lose. Zachary’s
once-charmed life becomes a hellscape as he attempts to keep Sarah
safe from the increasingly frightening Hanna, while dealing with his
paper’s escalating coverage of the war in Vietnam. Sarah, now
visibly pregnant and hiding in a small town in Oklahoma, is unable to
stay away from the newspaper business and her instincts for
investigative reporting turn up far more than she expected. As their
son, Dax, grows to adulthood, he struggles to find his own identity.
When he leaves New York to study journalism at the University of
Chicago, Dax begins to craft two new lives for himself: one as an
outstanding student and intern at the Chicago Tribune, and the other
as a playboy, seducing the rich and neglected wives of Chicago. When
Dax forms the Wine Enthusiasts Club, his two worlds merge into one,
surrounding him with a group of women so fanatically devoted to him
that they’re willing to do anything for him – even murder.
The
Bacchae is available in paperback or as an e-book from me directly
at ChristytheWriter.com or
on Amazon.
