Jenny Twist other than the stuff we were taught at school. I knew that it was the Spanish Ferdinand and Isabella who financed Christopher Columbus and so conquered the Americas. I knew about the Spanish Inquisition and I knew about the Spanish Armada. But I had no idea, for example, that Spain was under Moorish rule for hundreds of years and had a rich heritage of Moorish architecture and culture. Moorish recipes still form part of the Spanish cuisine, especially here in the South of Spain, which was the last stronghold of the Moors before they were driven out by the Christian

Toni V. Sweeney

Hi, my name's Toni V. Sweeney and I have a few novels floating around in the e-book world as well as in print, so I suppose it's possible you may have heard of me. If not...well, now's your chance to meet an author! I have a new book which has just been released and I'd like to tell you about it. It's called Sinner, the first installment in my new series, The kan Ingan Archives. Sinner is the continuation of a Family Saga, and has a slightly unusual history. Taking a breather from writing a Sword-and-Sorcery

series called The Chronicles of Riven the Heretic, I finished a completely unrelated book called Blood Sin, set in the 23rd Century. It was the story of a man exiled from his home planet for a crime he didn't commit, kept from proving his innocence because to do so would reveal he'd committed an even worse crime. About ten years after I wrote the book, I was in an idle mood one day and looking around for something to do, and got to thinking about the background to that story, and ended up writing about what happened before Blood Sin took place--about the crime he committed, and the acts leading up to it. So the first book was actually written second! Later, after much editing and amending and a lot of cross-referencing, I changed the title to Sinner because that fit the first novel much better than it did the second, then re-titled the second book Exile. (Is all this a little confusing?) During all this switching and re-writing, I also decided to relate the stories to The Chronicles of Riven the Heretic by having my hero (Erik Brand) be a direct descendent of the hero of The Chronicles. That necessitated a name change, so he became Aric kan Ingan. Since Riven was considered the ancestor of the ruling family in the Emeraunt Galaxy, Aric became the Crown Prince of the current branch. The story came mostly out of my own imagination but I will admit it has more than a vague resemblance to the ancient Greek myth of Phaedra.

You know...older man, young wife, young handsome male relative...prime ingredients for disaster. That story's been played out a thousand times in a thousand variations-especially on the daily Soaps--since 428 BC, in fact, when Euripides first introduced the myth in his play Hippolytos Kalyptomenos (Hippolytus Veiled). The story of a young wife who falls for her stepson and eventually causes her husband to murder him wasn't well-received by audiences of the time. The ancient Greeks apparently thought Euripides' Phaedra a shameless hussy, who openly attempts to seduce Hippolytus. Taking his critics to heart, the playwright rewrote the myth and presented it again as Hippolytos Stephanophoros (Hippolytus who wears a crown), portraying Phaedra this time as a modest wife who fights her attraction for Hippolytus, though to the same tragic ending. Other writers, such as Seneca the Younger also fashioned their version of the play, giving it an even more complex psychological treatment of the characters. So that's the background, and here's my version: Aric kan Ingan is young, spoiled, and the designated heir to an empire and a galaxy. Raised since the age of twelve to be Prince of all he surveys, he is twenty when the story opens and about to get the shock of his young Royal life when his uncle, the Margrave, returns with a bride from an ambassadorial trip to a planet which has been in quarantine for nearly two thousand years--the Earth. The woman’s name is Elizabeth Sheffield. Suddenly, Aric is

not only no longer the heir, but he's also third down in the line of ascendancy, after his uncle, his new aunt, and their child. Swearing revenge, Aric rebuffs Elizabeth's overtures of friendship, embarrassing her at every opportunity, continually pointing out her differences, and Elizabeth returns his scorn with a hatred equal to his own. Although Aric isn't aware of it, there are others in the kingdom who agree with him that a Terran has no business on the throne of Arcanis, and insurrection foments in secret rooms of the Empire. And then, as will often happens when two individuals dislike each other so fiercely, Fate steps in with its usual perversity, and Aric and Elizabeth--discovering they are too similar in their personalities as well as their hatreds--fall in love. With their passion comes the breaking of a king's heart, as well as the beginnings of the toppling of an empire. I hope my variation on the story makes it a tale readers will enjoy, and while you’re reading, you can munch on some of the Pecan Macaroons made from the following recipe: 3/4 C b rown sugar 2 egg whites

2 C pecan halves pinch of salt

Beat egg whites until stiff peak. Add sugar and blend thoroughly. Add pecans. By tablespoonfuls drop onto cook sheet. Bake for 30 mins at 250 degrees. Cool before removing.

Goo^night Whether we lead an active life or not, sleeping is an act enjoyed by all. But to get its maximum benefits, adults should get 7 to 9 hours of it. Read on to find out more about healthy sleeping and what happens during those hours. - Want to have a good morning? Then you should have a good night. Sleeping an insufficient number of hours during the night will lead to mood swings the next day. On the long run, it may lead to depression and fatigue. - While sleeping your body is in the process of regulating the hormones in charge of controlling your appetite. Sleeping less than 7 hours doesn't allow your body to do its job and those hormones are kept unbalanced. This results inHyou guessed it, more food craving. - A good sleep reduces blood pressure and help you relax. Regular undisturbed sleep will improve your memory and creativity since you have given your mind enough rest.

To sleep better, follow these tips: - Do not drink tea or coffee 3 hours before bedtime. - Take a warm shower 20 minutes before bedtime. - Don’t go to bed while feeling very full or hungry. Overeating will cause acidity, which will wake you up in the middle of the night, while hunger will wake you up to eat. - Don’t sleep with the TV on. Sudden loud noises or shifty lights from it may wake you up. - Don’t go to bed agitated. Try to relax before bedtime by doing something you like.

- 7 to 9 hours of sleep give your heart a break from stress and anxiety. - If you workout, especially if it was an intense workout, your body works on recovering the torn muscles and build new ones during your sleep.
