This story is apart of @TriciaDehler 'The Golden Writer Writing Contest', I chose Story Idea #1 'An Egyptian Mythology Tale' She also made the amazing cover for this book! Zahra Reizen is an art historian currently working at The British Museum, as their Curator and Heritage Manager in charge of their latest exhibition. The newly archived Ancient Egyptian artifacts have been placed in the new exhibition of the recently discovered mummy of Pharaoh Ahmesseker. Researchers have dated and related him back to King Tutankhamun allowing historians to have a deeper understanding of Pharaoh Ahmesseker's downfall and ultimately his death. But in these artifacts lies a mystery tangled in deceit and treachery, which only Zahra can solve. Although it won't be that easy. Enter Death, a God she didn't know existed interfering with her quest as she finds herself tempting Death and testing fate. Will she save this doomed Pharaoh before it's too late? Or will she lose herself trying?

What if your family made a deal with demons of the night and now they've come back to collect on that IOU? What if you are the IOU? Evelyn has finally finished her academic career and is ready to get to work on her corporate career. Little does she know she's been promised to a clan of vampires due to an ancient treaty that signed away her life. Evelyn's life is changed forever when a beautiful, dominant, dark demon kidnaps her. She can't lean on logic to find her footing in this middle ground. *** Please know there are mature parts to this book. If you are sensitive (like myself, so no judgement here xoxo) you might not want to read every chapter. I will try to announce trigger warnings upon editing. Thank you for understanding! #1 DEMONXHUMAN #1 OXFORD #1 FAERY

Four African-American witches on the run from a Warlock detective, a jilted lover, and a ridiculous super clingy cat named Mister Purr. *** It's Mardi Gras weekend in New Orleans, and instead of celebrating with deep-fried beignets and dancing, Yanni finds herself in a dark alley with her three 'sisters'-staring down at a lifeless body. Shocked and scared, they realize something's off about this death. The body is twisted in a way that's not normal, and Yanni can't shake the feeling that dark magic is involved. With one sister panicking, another making sarcastic comments, and the eldest sister, Aunt BeeBee, trying to stay calm, Yanni's life takes a turn she never expected. The dead man's identity remains a mystery, and the sisters know one thing for sure: they can't let anyone find out. The four of them are witches, each representing one of the four elements, bound by magic and a sisterhood. But when it comes to covering up a murder, will they stick together or fall apart? Yanni's got a big decision to make. Will she go along with Aunt BeeBee's plan to cover it up, or will she risk everything to do what's right? With Mardi Gras chaos swirling around them, the sisters' bond is tested as they navigate dark magic, secrets, and their own fears. One thing's for sure-nothing in New Orleans will ever be the same.

A re-telling of the true 12th century love story of Heloise and Abelard. Abelard is a great philosopher and theologian who has taken, like many academics of the time, a vow of celibacy. When he is hired as a tutor for the brilliant and beautiful Heloise, whose mind he finds is his only true equal, a series of tragic events will spiral. ━━━━━━━┓ ✠ ┏━━━━━━━━ Taking place in the cloisters of Paris, the affair has grave consequences. They are forced into monastic life - Abelard becoming a monk and Heloise becoming a nun - but their relationship continues in secret. It continues mostly from afar, through a collection of the most beautiful love letters the world has known. They reunite only at the very ends of their lives and, eventually, are buried together in the Père Lachaise Cemetery of Paris. The trials this couple face through the relationship that spans their entire lives, and their unending commitment to love in the face of all obstacles, continue to inspire us today.

A time-traveling god. A mortal stuck in Ancient Greece. They have always been able to hear each other's thoughts, across time and space; the only problem is, they were never supposed to meet. Until they did. And it unravelled the balance of everything. ₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪ The immortal Greek god Evgenis' only job is to travel through time, making sure humanity stays on its course. This is what he was born to do. He was meant to be machine-like, cold, and detached from humanity - ready to invoke bloodshed as needed. His ability to follow through with his duty, however, is disrupted when he forms a mysterious internal bond with a mortal. You see, the Goddess of Love had a different idea for her son's future. Seeing the cruelty of the gods around her, she formed the unborn Evgenis with a secret gift: an eternal inner bond with a mortal. She chose Tharos - named for the strength of his heart - an Ancient Greek villager living an unassuming, simple life. This connection, she prayed, would keep Evgenis' moral compass and conscience strong. He would not end up like the others. No one could anticipate, though, just how powerful and disruptive this bond would grow to be. ------------------------------------------ "Set me as a seal upon your heart... for love is as strong as death." - Song of Solomon, 6:8 ------------------------------------------
