Michael Lally's never before published early work, The Village Sonnets, is something to behold. Within its pages, it contains the pathos of an era framed by a forbidden love story. Each of the "sonnets," that weave a linear narrative, are both poignant and beautiful, and they bring the reader back, page by page, to New York's Greenwich Village in the 1960s.

Helen of Troy has been called a whore, an adulteress and the destroyer of Troy, but questions remain. Did she fall in love with Paris? Was she abducted? Or did she willingly take part in the greatest political cover-up in history? Helen, The First Trojan Horse is about the most enigmatic and vilified woman in history. Helen, The First Trojan Horse explores the untold love story of the ages and provides a new and unique twist on the legend of the Trojan War. Read about this captivating beauty's extraordinary life from her early childhood through the Trojan War, and her horrible death at the hands of a friend. During the Age of Heroes there were many great men. Is it possible that Helen was not only the most beautiful woman who ever lived, she was also a Greek hero?
