Marine Fantasy: The Louvre Still Stands by Arwen Chandler

About The Book:

From The Louvre Still Stands, In a perilous age where humanity lives under the control of the Militarian government, one woman risks life, limb, and ship, for a lost treasure trove on old Earth.

Gwyndalaria Casteliano, Captain of the starship Pleiades, leads her Ex-Militarian companion Adrik, and her childhood friend Rodrigo on the treasure hunt of a lifetime. While the common belief is that old Earth has been completely lost after the great alien wars, Gwyn knows it’s ripe for the taking. Intelligence, bought for a steep price, proves that the Louvre still stands. Gwyn leads her comrades on an adventure of a lifetime, as they make a desperate attempt at fortune. It’s too bad Militarian troops are hot on their trail.

The Louvre Still Stands is a piece of science fiction, that nods its head toward spacers like Malcom Reynolds, and is sure to leave readers wanting more.

Genre: Science Fiction


A Moment with Arwen:

What inspired you to write The Louvre Still Stands?

Well, I really enjoy space opera, and I love art. I guess I kind of merged those two ideas. I kept asking myself, "What if?"

You know, what if there is a daring female space pilot (something I haven't seen so much,) and what if the Old Earth is just prime waiting for someone to come in and rescue its treasures (or smuggle them)? 

I suppose it's that Old Earth world (concept) that intrigued me. I mean I can see it as if I'm looking out a window.

So, are there any plans for a novel in the future?

Yes, I've already got a book outlined, and I've started writing it. 

What other works do you have in progress?

I've been working on my novel Ice Clan for a good long while now. It sits and rests, but never leaves my mind. I'm also working on a novel centered around a female archaeologist from the same universe as The Louvre Still Stands.

A Study in Art: More Than a Passing Glance: Early Christian Art by Susan Elliott

More Than a Passing Glance: Early Christian Art was a true labor of love. I absolutely love all things pertaining to early art. I remember the first time I studied early Christian art at the University of Arkansas. My professor opened my eyes to a world I had never known or understood.

The important lessons of early Christians came alive before my eyes, and I understood their lives better than I had ever thought possible. Journey with me through this amazing walk in the lives of the early Christians.
