Why I Wrote HEIRESS OF THE NILE An Ancient World Paranormal Romance

This book literally sprang from one fact – the goddess Hathor was the mother of a small boy.

Back in 2013 or so I was inspired by that piece of information to write an 8K short story centering about Senebkai, an Egyptian boy whose family had lost everything under the old pharaoh and who was urged by Hathor to go appeal to the new pharaoh for help.

And…..then I let it sit. I write romance and while I’d added the older sister and the gallant general who saves her, the core of the story was the nin...

8 #SciFi Disaster Tales I’ve Enjoyed

Note: This post first appeared in the Roswell Daily Record…

I’ve always enjoyed a good disaster yarn, in any setting.
