Sometimes the only way forward is back.
Sahara Aldridge, a young Egyptologist in 1922, is chasing down the trail of her parents through the unknown corridors of time.
But when all clues point to Ancient Rome as the next place to search, Sahara retreats into the safety of her archaeological work, cataloguing treasures from the newly-discovered tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun.
As the discovery of the intact tomb propels the world into a frenzy of “Tut-mania,” the ever-present Jack Moretti is there to help, but what is his agenda?
And it appears Tempus Vigilia isn’t going to leave her alone. The secret society has sent others, tracking her movements and asking too many questions.
Now it seems her family is in danger.
Sahara must once again put her career on hold, to find what she has lost.
But will Ancient Rome hold the answers, or only one more reason to grieve?
I had a dream that started at the age of eight. It was audacious, but I didn’t know it at the time because I was eight. I was going to write a novel. This dream was big enough in my heart even then that I vividly remember the exact moment I wrote the first sentence.
But early rejection letters and harsh criticism nearly convinced me the dream was not worth pursuing.
I've since had nearly twenty novels published. But it was almost none. It could have easily been none. Our dreams are so easily crushed.
So remember: You have a purpose in this world. Something you are uniquely qualified to express. Don’t let it go.
As for the rest of my life, along my publishing journey, I have also earned a Master’s Degree in Ancient History, raised four amazing kids, built a shipping and logistics company, and traveled to Greece, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Italy, and Turkey, researching my books and falling into adventures. Life has been full and grand, and I still have lots of stories in my head, all trying to get out.
I'm currently passionate about landscaping around my 3+ acres of woodlands, reading good books (by a crackling fire in cold weather, outside near my pond & waterfall in warm weather), and traveling the world.
