The Legend of Lady Godiva
Celestial Melody2 Reviews | 9.0/10 (2 Ratings, 0 Likes, 2 Favorites )
“A tale of twisted perfection and tainted ambition...”
Born in 992, the Lady Godgyfu lived the life of the nobly-born Anglo-Saxons. She grew up under the domineering rule of her heartbroken father, played in the fields and forests of Northumbria, and was married at the age of ten.
However, Godgyfu was also something no one in her Muggle family ever expected her to be: a witch who grew up to become one of the most influential women in Earth’s myth and history.
Enter the world of 1000s Britain and follow Lady Godiva through her fated, ambitious and often sinful, life. Know, and learn to love, cry, fear, and treasure, the woman who rode through the streets of Coventry, and, thus rode into the pages of history, immortalizing herself in the minds of Muggles and wizards alike.

Presenting...
~*~*~*~*~*~
Hello all! I am back... as myself. *grins* In other words, my cynicism is done for now. Still don't love JKR, but her books have given us fanfiction writers a lovely playground and I'm very grateful to her for that.
With that apology (?) out of the way, I am still unsure about "Serpent in the Moonlight" and its "update status." At this point, I am working more with photography than I am with writing (except, of course, for "Black as Snow," which I simply adore), so it's quite touch-and-go. But who knows? I'm fairly certain that "Heavenly Hell," etc. will not be updated. Totally lost interest in that. HOWEVER! "In the Shi of the Setting Sun" should be coming along sometime.
Now, let's see, what have I been doing lately? Well, I'll list it for you guys!
- One of my best friends is engaged! O_O I'm so happy for her. =)
- I'm heading off to University soon and I'm really excited about that.
- Now, just random thoughts: Keeno, Megan, costumes, clean room, history, ballet, Broadway, hats, boys or girls, washing clothes, Autumn, music, soundtracks, photography, models, bed sheets, writing, Netflix, Norah Jones, vibratto, Yoga, Dance Magazine, Hollywood, movies, sweaters, Good Earth tea, Burt's Bees Carrot lotion, face paint, Harlequin, Batman, clipped nails...
You know, I think I want to have a contest! For my readers, and then I can, like, have a prize or something... That would be fun, although I'm not sure how it would work. Any ideas?
Okay, now I'm just rambling. Anyway, that's my life right now. So...
...a great and expansive Thank You to all my wonderful readers and reviewers! You've all been angels and helped me through a very tough time in my life. Bless you.

Dear Karla Marie,
Thanks very much for the review. I'm glad you're enjoying the story. I'll try to update soon, and, yes, I agree. Godgyfu's father is a wretch, but he's had his heart broken. Wouldn't we be wretches, too, after that happened?
Again, thanks so much! Reviews truly encourage me.

I am quite glad that I was the admin who took your story, else I may have missed it, not having much time to read for pleasure. The introduction to the story was beautifully done, both in the prose and in introducing us to the time in which the story takes place. I was quite taken with the whole "feel" of the story and the style in which it was written. I am going to bookmark this story, just in case I don't catch it next time in the queue, so I don't miss a single word.
Response from Celestial Melody (Author of The Legend of Lady Godiva)
Oh, wow! Well, I'm thrilled you liked this first chapter even though you really haven't the time to read for pleasure. (Makes me feel special.) =)
I'm so glad you enjoyed the introduction; I was quite sure whether it would do a good job of giving the time period. The prose was rather fun to write. Ack! What am I saying? It was a TON of fun to write and the fact that you liked it only makes it that much better.
I'm just so happy; you've really made my night. Thank you for editting it; I love it when you edit my stories. I know, then, that my errors are all being corrected, and, well, thank you.
Thanks again for the lovely review!
