Early Minoan Seal

Sorry for my long absence.  I was busily editing Orestes: The Warrior, which is now with my alpha reader.  Hopefully, I will have it back in a few weeks, and once I make some corrections, write that scholarly Author's Note, and finish all the prep work, it will be out and ready for you to buy.

In the meantime, I'm researching and outlining the book I've been wanting to write about Minoan Knossos.  This will not be a novel about Theseus and Ariadne, or like any book about Knossos you may have read before.

Here is an image of an early Minoan cylinder seal worked in semiprecious stone.  The earliest Minoan seals resembled Mesopotamian seal stones, in that they were rolled across wet clay, and had Linear A hieroglyphics on them.
