	Review of THREE FATES by Nora Roberts
		Years before, their ancester had stolen a small silver statue of one of the three fates.
		The three Sullivan siblings are intent on their goal, willing to lie and cheat to succeed, but each time they lie, they get into deeper trouble with the true loves that they discover during the course of their adventure.
		THREE FATES is an exciting adventure with Roberts' patented sensuality, but it falls short of many of this fine author's other works.

	The Furies, Fates and Muses of Morningstone
		Classical mythology names the three Fates: Clotho, the spinner; Lachesis, the apportioner and Atropos, the inflexible, known respectively as the Present, the Past and the Future.
		Morningstone's Furies are more like the Three Morrighans, alternatively known by such names as "the Phantom Queen," "Raven" and "Frenzy," especially since these Celtic goddesses of slaughter are generally associated with the prosperity of the land and the fertility of its cattle and crops, as well as with carnage, bloodshed and vengeance.
		The Fates appear impartial, but in fact, all nine goddesses are merely facets of Mother Nature or the Ninefold Muse, herself an artificial construct created to alert Mankind to its danger — or so it must seem to a rational 21st century mind.
