House of the Muses 5 - House of Many Kings cover

COMING SOON!!!
In this issue: The Sappho Saga continues. The highborn children of Kleis are grown and involved in lives of their own: Charaxos, now a fledgling merchant, outrages his sister when he announces that he has bought and married a prostitute.
Larichos, a winebearer for the House of Penthilos, also known as the House of Many Kings, tries with their little brother Eurygios to counsel Sappho not to be so hard on their brother.
Unbeknownst to all her family, Sappho is already deeply embroiled with Alkaios and his friends in a political plot that will soon lead to her arrest and exile from Mytilene.
In present time an unexpected guest makes a visit to the House of the Muses. Gorgo of the House of Penthilos tells Sappho that she has opened a school for girls of her own in the city of Mytilene, with Andromeda, the daughter of Pittakos, as headmistress. Sappho tries not to appear upset by the news and it seems to anger Gorgo. The woman tells Sappho to remember that her reputation is fragile, and how interesting would it be if the people of Mytilene were reminded of her part in the assassination of the tyrant Myrsilos so many years ago.
Sappho orders Gorgo to leave, but the damage has already been done.

Still a few days before the next page debuts...I've had to pull out the original manuscript from 1987 to look over and tighten up. I'm setting up scenes and crowd props and preparing to adapt the most complex work I've ever done, both prose and 3D. If you haven't been too thrilled with House of the Muses so far, the work only gets exponentially better from here. So come along for the ride.

I hope I get a LOT more commenters and readers than my last couple of issues. I've made another serious decision: the number of pages I put on here will depend on book sales and readership at DD. I've been through a lot of changes in my life recently, and with all the bills and a new house payment to consider, it's imperative that promotion of this series step up a bit. If you like it, buy it. And if you really like it, tell all your friends. And tell them to tell all their friends! The future of House of the Muses on this--or any other webcomic hosting site--depends on it. Pam Harrison http://houseofthemuses.com
