As a writer, I find inspiration in so many places. Gossip whispered at parties, current newspaper reportage, anecdotes revealed by family members over a few mugs of coffee, the odd remark overheard in a doctor’s waiting room or in an elevator, and on and on.
History, however, provides me with more than enough material to spark my imagination. Indefinitely.
My muse? The Greek goddess Clio.
One of nine ancient Greek muses of the arts and literature, Clio’s name signifies “to make famous” or “to celebrate.”
