Architect's Key:
Book Synopsis:
WHAT IF THE GREEK GODS WERE STILL AMONG US?
Leo Katsaros, an ambitious architect, goes on a series of trips to the past on a quest to learn from history's greatest master builders. Instead, he finds himself enmeshed in a messy family dispute between two Greek Gods. In this whimsical take on time travel the architect discovers not only surprising things about the world's most famous monuments, but also the secret of his own peculiar origins. This tale blurs distinctions between past and present in a romp through some of the more perplexing aspects of time.
Author Bio
The author grew up on Point Loma, in southern California. The hidden coves and caves of Sunset Cliffs were his children playground. Farther out on the point he also wandered among the exotic ruins of a utopian community founded in the late 1800's and wondered what it was. Later he found out that a flamboyant woman named Madame Catherine Tingley had established a community called Lomaland based on the teachings of the Theosophical movement, which draws on range of occult traditions. The Architect's Key is a reimagining of what might have happened if the founder of Lomaland had been a time traveling goddess who was intent on hiding a secret.
