Sending you a .pdf now.
I have just posted a review of Knossos on Amazon and am looking to where I should post it on Goodreads. I have tried to find Knossos but the only place I been able to locate it is right here on Making Connections. Is there somewhere particular that I should be posting the review?

Thanks for reading and reviewing. I'm glad you liked the book. To answer your question: yes, some of the events in the book are factual. The cycles of destruction and reconstruction are all real events. The high priest in Chapter Five is based on a real person. Pottery styles, dress, architecture, etc. is authentic to the period.
Laura,I have just posted my review following the link and have recommended it to several of my friends who enjoy historical fiction.
Thanks for sharing Knossos with me. I am now going to look for other books that you have written.

Knossos
Book Description:
Knossos.
The legendary Labyrinth.
Go back millennia to a time when Knossos was the jewel of Crete, center of commerce and pilgrimage. A Neolithic sea captain is driven to find a new homeland for his people when the neighboring tribes turn against them. Proud, ambitious priests and priestesses rule Crete through its many gods. Daidalos, a wronged architect, builds the Labyrinth after a devastating personal tragedy; his successors, the priest-architects of Daidalos, are charged with expanding and glorifying his master work. A dutiful scribe attends the dead after a natural disaster of world-changing fury. A dynasty of Mycenaean conquerors changes Crete, for good or ill. And a crazed girl’s passion and the mysterious bull-man of the Labyrinth will change history.
In these ten stories of Minoan Crete, spanning a period of five thousand years, Knossos is at the heart of it all.
