Choir of Cloistered Canaries (2020), Book Two
The year is 2024 when CDC scientist Leitis Dennett and Pope Hormisdas II meet, thereby embarking them on uncharted quests to understand the message of “The School of Athens,” painted by Italian Renaissance artist Raffael Santi.
It is a timely and compelling story that begins with President Eisenhower’s warning in his 1961 farewell speech about over consumption and toying with nature. The story illuminates why his warning is material to our circumstances today as we face an environment that needs to be ethically and scientifically confronted. The characters–Senior Epidemiologist Dr. Leitis Dennett of the CDC, Medical Engineer Dr. Drew Hopkins Carr of the NCRC, and Pope Hormisdas II–drive the narrative home.

* The Armida Trilogy, which is not named after the author’s given name per se, is named after a fictitious character, Armida, with historical and literary connections: A Damascus warrior-queen from the 1st Crusade in Torquato Tasso’s Gerusalemme Liberata (1591). Tasso’s epic poem had inspired numerous artists and composers, each interpreting Armida’s character in unique ways. As such, she embodies the archetype of the forsaken woman in literature. Yet, many view Armida as a more relatable and sympathetic figure, adding depth to her portrayal. For more information about the various artists and composers who were inspired by Tasso’s Gerusalemme Liberata, check Updates.
for TESTIMONIALS
A quote from someone who read Daughters of the Dance—Engaging….Don’t let the title fool you. In the author’s debut novel, Armida reveals an uncanny ability to create believable, complex characters and to develop them within a historical setting, which she has ably constructed. – TVA
