Kronos New Digital Edition, Now Available!

 


Laurie Devine is so, so happy to announce that finally Kronos, her award-winning Greek

family saga, is being published in the United States.

Kronos is now available for the first time in a digital edition on Amazon Kindle.

Kronos is written by the award-winning American author Laurie Devine and was first published in

London in 1991 by Andre Deutsch.  It became an international best-seller and was a special favorite in

Australia, which is home away from home to many hundreds of thousands of Greeks.

Kronos is expected to be even more popular in the United States, where an estimated three million Greek Americans

now live but retain pride in the country of their ancestors.

Kronos It is a passionate powerful multi-generational family saga set not only in contemporary Greece but also among

resettled Greeks in America’s New England.

Its story centers on a wily Greek beauty who is loved by two brothers – one a leftist leader and the other a

rightwing colonel. The unforgettable beauty of the azure Aegean and Greece’s rugged mountains provide the

exotic background for a story of primitive passions harkening back to ancient times. 

  Kronos is part of Laurie Devine’s five-volume Devine Sagas. 

Along with the other standalone novels in this series—Nile, Saudi, Crescent, Kronos and Cypress

—these family sagas were written and published 1979-1994, some by Simon & Schuster in New York

and all by Andre Deutsch in London. Now, in 2024, for the first time they are being published in

digital editions and all will be available everywhere by December, 2024, on Amazon Kindle.

Devine lived in Greece for four years as she researched and wrote Kronos.

While she wrote these five novels, her base was in London and she lived not only in Greece

but also in Egypt, Switzerland, and Ireland as well as spending significant time in Israel, Lebanon, and

Cyprus.

She still has wanderlust and is now living in Mexico.

Meantime, vintage hardcover first editions of the Devine Sagas can still be found online at various sites.

Some are used and all are nearly fifty years old.  They are being resold by persons not connected to the author.

Announcing the Laurie Devine Author Blog! Welcome to my world! I hope it soon will be your world as well! A world of storytelling adventures, these family sagas of brave and bold women! Dazzling worlds of beauty and passion, death and dreams!  Stories told, not so incidentally by another brave and bold woman – that’s me, Laurie Devine! – who wrote these stories nearly fifty years ago when I was a young truth-teller eager to share the mostly untold tales behind the headlines in the war-torn Mideast and the Greek homelands.  I lived in these countries, and l loved these people.  I came home to America, after decades in Europe and Asia and Africa, with five long standalone novels I love like the children never had: Kronos about Greece.  Nile about Egypt and Israel.  Crescent about Lebanon.  Saudi about Arabia.  Cypress about Cyprus. All have been previously published successfully, in Europe. Yet not in my homeland. Not here! But now, over the next yea...

Critically reading…myself

Image
  I’m in the process of digitally republishing five novels I wrote nearly fifty years ago. It’s a legacy project. A “bucket wish” for authors. I want my out-of-print family sagas—some of which were never published in the U.S.—to finally be available in my own country, and hopefully long after I write no more. But it had been decades since I read my own books, written in 1979-1994. Were they worth republishing? So it was that last year I began my legacy project by critically reading my own stuff. They were all long books—in those days, long books like mine were often plus 200,000 words—whereas now publishers want 80,000 novels.  I’ve heard that authors are now told 100,000-word or more novels should be cut in half and sold as two books. Hmmmm.   But I put away greedy thoughts of republishing not five long but ten short books It took me six months of solid work to read my own five books. And I’m happy to report that I loved them.  What a relief! Sometimes...

Kronos, the first volume of the Devine Sagas, is set in Greece.  It was published on May 8—International Women’s Day—and is available on Amazon Kindle.  This is its American debut publication, although it has been available in London, published by Andre Deutsch, since 1991. The Devine Sagas are written by the bestselling author Laurie Devine, an American from Pittsburgh, who made her name as an international writer who excels at can’t-put-down family sagas featuring strong and memorable women of the developing world. Devine lived in the Middle East and leading European cities for nearly twenty years, establishing a solid reputation as an author with intimate knowledge of the cultures she writes about.  Her base was London, as she lived in Egypt, Israel, Greece, and Cyprus....
