Bio: Pam Harrison has worked nearly 20 years in the graphic design industry, starting from the ground up and learning a number of skills from advertising, graphics and website design, Illustrator and has more recently been noted for 3D illustration. In June 2008, she taught night classes in 3DStudio Max at her former college, Louisville Technical Institute.

From 2005-2006, Pam was a regular face on the OutinAmerica.com Cities Network, where she first made her name in gay and lesbian movie and book reviews, as well as landing her own weekly opinion column, "Speaking Of".

An aspiring comics artist since age 12, she eventually learned 3-D graphics, which became the basis for the illustrations in the published version of House of the Muses. Her connections at OIA soon landed her very first book review of House of the Muses in October 2007.

******************************************

Here is what some readers of House of the Muses have to say about the series:

"This is a series NOT to be missed!" -- CURVE Magazine, June 2008

"A tale from ancient history, compiled from the writings of a Greek poet and her friend. And the poet is Sappho, so it’s no surprise that passion is as omnipresent as the power politics of slave ownership and family intrigues." -- T.E. Lyons, LEO Weekly Magazine

"All in all I have found House of Muses I and II to be an enjoyable straight forward read. I am looking forward to following the remainder of the online series and purchasing a complete set when they are published. I would urge Ms. Harrison to contact Dream Works or one of the other studios about the possibility of an animated feature film in the future."

"Groundbreaking 3D/graphic novel illustration...."

"The art is absolutely remarkable. This is a book that demands your full attention."

"3D graphics, lesbian romance and political intrigue all add up to make this projected nine volume historical graphic novel series really unique."

"Fans of history, lesbian romance, or Sappho herself are sure to enjoy it...it's DEFINITELY worth the read." --Pink Kryptonite
