About Becky Burkheart
Becky takes frequent flights of fantasy, in real life as well as in her writing. It's said that life is stranger than fiction, but Becky's out to prove it's possible to integrate it both ways. Whether she's racing her Arabian horses through the woods, rapid firing her .45 or gargoyling from local rooftops, Becky finds it hard to stay grounded in the real world. Although she has yet to ride in a space ship (she did get to simulate crashing a 727) or to meet a real vampire (that she's aware of), anachronistic dress, "QaQ poHmey" and pints of brew (yes, it comes in pints) are standard fare on the odd weekend.

Read the truth of the first labor of Herakles as told by the one who suffered his wrath. This is my tale, my truth and that of the shepherdess who loved me and suffered my loss.
History speaks of me as a vicious monster, a ravager of herds, valleys and sweet, tender maidens. Such tales as told by fragile, hairless kings, jealous of my majesty and the peace in my holdings; told by so-called heroes seeking the adulation of warm thighs upon a victorious return; told by spineless bards through drunken spittle in their begging for coin … such songs tell only twisted truths.
