Splendid Solstice Priestess
by Amy Harlib

Amy Harlib is a 50-something, lifelong, avid reader of SF and fantasy literature, and graphic novels — retired with plenty of time to indulge in her passion for reading, graphic novels, SF & F artwork and cinema. She lives in NYC and welcomes commissions, intelligent feedback and discussion about the genre. Other enthusiasms: cats, performing arts, archeology / anthropology / paleontology, folklore and mythology, genre films, science for intelligent laypersons, and memoirs / narratives as literature.  Contact: aharlib at earthlink.net

Splendid Solstice Priestess was inspired a bit by Aubrey Beardsley, art deco, archaic Greece and my own fantasies about a magical lady of high status performing an arcane ritual of seasonal significance.
