Olivia Walsh finds herself in the discovery of a lifetime in the land of pharaohs. A new tomb has been found and Olivia is part of the team to cross-reference the hidden secrets inside. Like many, she has been fascinated by the ancient civilisation since she was a child but she would do more than just contribute to the history of the golden ancient world; she would be swallowed up by it. Surrounded by schemes, war and conspiracies, she must rely on her wits and knowledge of the ancient world or be lost to it. Just as she might, if she is not careful, to the enthraling of a king.
The king is dead and so too is his eldest son. Egypt is on the brink of war and the last free fraction of the nation is facing annihilation. Akil-Heru is at the forefront of the battle, determined to free the country from the yoke of foreign rule. But he cannot do it alone and there are fewer people he can truly trust to aid him than he can count the fingers of his hand. It is victory or damnation facing him and the gods are silent. If that wasn't enough, he must struggle with his own inner demons especially in regards to a woman so pale she seemingly glows like the sun. Spurring a desire that could cost him everything.

Cursed Times - Only Yesterday! Sequel to Wattys 2015 winner!
By accident rather than design, Trueth - one of the last European witches - finds herself in an ancient Egyptian civilisation. It isn't quite what she has expected - for one thing this place is as full of magic as it is lacking in decent showers. Instead, there is evil lurking just below the surface of the Nile. Together with the friends and family she found in 'Cursed Times - What Now?', Trueth will need to embark on yet another world-saving adventure. One that hopefully does not end in a romantic shipping-wreck. From pyramids, tombs and temples - as well as a palace governed by a randy fourteen-year-old Pharaoh - her journey will ultimately take her to the mists of the North and towards her people. With or without a man at her side. 'Only Yesterday' can be read as standalone adventure novel, or as part of the 'Cursed Times' Series. Warning: In 'Cursed Times - What Now?' all you needed was popcorn.

The Solar Princess
Kingship, the ultimate power in the ancient world. To the Egyptians, it was a power passed through the female line. Only the husband of the Solar Princess could be king. A recently discovered tomb in 1883 opens a glimpse into the depths of political ambisions and power plays from centuries before. When the gods dabble, the horrors of the past have a way of coming back to haunt the world once again. ********** This is a short story. I hope you like it. I would love to hear feedback on this. I set this as mature just to be sure. I don't give overly explicit details of violence or sex, however, the story does delve into topics of a more mature nature. It is also a work of fiction that I wrote. Please do not copy any part of this story. I do not own the rights to the photos posted. Those are just images I found online and the rights go to the original owners. Thank you. As for the names of the characters, I pulled all of the names during the historical periods from actual history. So, I am sorry if the names are odd or difficult to follow, it is set during a specific reign and the historical people around the royal palace. I really enjoy writing from actual history as much as possible when I do delve into history. If people like this, I may try to work on a longer story of a historical romance in the Ottoman courts.Complete
