Stubborn: A Greek Comedy Kindle Edition

The women of Athens have had enough. Enough of the war, enough of the fighting, and enough of their husbands abandoning all responsibility for the glory of battle. But Lysistrata has a plan: as long as warfare rages, Greek women will renounce sex.

The women on both sides of the conflict agree, and Lysistrata and her collaborators gather at the Acropolis. But soon, she’s dealing with an incredulous magistrate and the crumbling resolve of her fellow sisters, not to mention the noise from a chorus of old men and women throwing insinuating comments and insults at each other.

Can the war be stopped? Will the sexes agree? Do the old men and women stop shouting?

Welcome to my page! I started writing in high school and have always been fascinated by history, eventually earning a degree in the subject. The merging of the two came naturally when I started writing full time a few years ago.

In my alternate identity as Lady Matilda, I post satirical articles on managing your medieval manor during the Black Death.

I’m currently editing part two of Turning the World to Stone, the life of Caterina Sforza. It's available for pre-order and will be out soon!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful!
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2022
I read this book during a really difficult travel experience (canceled flights, etc). I had other books, but for some reason, this was the only book I could focus on while dealing with airlines, turbulence, and long waits in hot airports. I found it absolutely delightful. The language was clear but still brought me back to the prose of Greek myths. The female characters had moxy, brains, and of course...stubbornness! I particularly enjoyed the aspiring poet and his often ill-timed attempts to inject some literary gravitas into the conflict between the men and women of Athens.

This is a short read, but well worth it. Full of double-entendre, humor, and a commentary on the never-ending battle of the sexes. It kept me giggling and entertained while I endured a difficult time this summer. I would give it 10 stars if I could!

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic solution
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2022
This one really takes me back…to my college days! Lysistrata is a clever, sexy, aggressive woman who no longer wants to put up with her husband strutting off to war and treating her like yesterday’s lunch. What’s the best way to get his attention? Quit putting out! Of course, it won’t work unless she persuades every other woman to do the same, from both sides of the conflict. She gets plenty of resistance, but who can argue with such a classic weapon? Kelly revisits the tale, complete with corny jokes and eye-rolling imagery. A good time will be had by all!
