About the author:
An accomplished poet in her own right, Peggy Ullman Bell became interested in Sappho in the flamboyant Hollywood of the 1960s when everyone around her knew The Lesbian's name, but no one could answer any of her questions.

To Peggy Ullman Bell, Psappha, as Sappho called herself, became an enigma speaking to her across the centuries, begging for resolution. How could a curious Aquarian resist?

With her innate appetite for answers aroused, Ms. Bell spent so much time reading ancient tomes that an editor wrote "Forget your college education and write in English," on an early rejection slip. Quite a compliment, considering that, at the time she was a High School drop out with a night school diploma. She changed that when in 1973 she matriculated as a Freshman at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock where she became active in Pi Gamma Mu, National Social Science Honor Society. The youngest of her considerable contribution to the Baby Boom was 9 years old.

Peggy Ullman Bell wrote the first polished draft of PSAPPHA, a novel of Sappho during her senior year at the University of Tulsa, Class of '77, where she was founding president of the Oklahoma Delta Chapter of Pi Gamma Mu. When asked why it took so long to get from first draft to publication, Ms. Bell smiled and said, "It takes a long time for an ancient culture to become a worthy tourist attraction."

Published in Y2K, PSAPPHA has sold out and is temporarily out of print. Ms. Bell's revised, expanded, augmented and enhanced version of her beloved manuscript, is presented to you here as SAPPHO SINGS.

Currently a widow, Ms. Bell resides on the Mississippi Gulf Coast . "But, I live in cyberspace." she explains in sultry southern tones.
