Dana Goodfellow will be exhibiting 19 Abstract and Realistic paintings at The Geary Gallery, 576 Boston Post Road, Darien, CT, September 1 – 30.

Leigh Grant is pleased to announce the publication of Artimon. Available on Amazon. The series, The Montenegrin, follows the exploits of Rade, a lawless, volatile, but charismatic Slav, sequestered in a Balkan settlement bordering the Venetian Empire. Driven by fate and occasionally by second sight, Rade becomes obsessed with a letter, won in a card game, offering a path to riches through marriage to a Venetian maiden, Caterina.

“Artimon, Leigh Grant’s excellent sequel to her Mask of Dreams, once again demonstrates how an impeccable command of Italian Renaissance history and material culture can enrich the genre of historical romance. Her protagonists, Rade and Caterina, bring this turbulent world to life, from the canals of Venice to the rugged Apennines, against the background of the brutal opening years of the ‘Italian Wars’ and its most dramatic and fateful battle at Fornovo di Taro (1495).”
