For many years rumors have persisted that there are caches of gold, precious stones, and unguents that tomb robbers had dropped or hidden in their haste to escape the guards that watched over the Valley of the Kings. Roma Wilkes-Emberly thinks her father believes these rumors are true and is determined to find them.

Ardeth-Bey is the son of a sheikh of a Bedouin tribe who are descended from the Med-Jai who guarded the Valley of the Kings. He is friends with Wilkes-Emberly and his daughter Roma. Roma does not like Ardeth Bey, though she grew up with him, she finds him overconfident and arrogant. The fact that he is handsome only makes it worse.

Wilkes-Emberly has asked Ardeth for his help. He wishes him to accompany his daughter through the desert on a secret errand. Neither Ardeth nor Roma is eager to do this, but her father is both evasive and persistent. Ardeth agrees, but on the condition that they will catch the boat at Minya for the remainder of the journey to Cairo. 

Roma knows that something is wrong and she suspects that they will be transporting something valuable and will be a target for thieves--or worse.

I am proud to announce that based on my writing of this story I have received a commission from an internet jewelry site to write an Egyptian/Atlantis-themed story about Howard Carter and his discovery of the "Atlantis Ring". And I am being paid well for it--eat your hearts out!!!!

~Completed~Ilana Bodnar knew Ari Levinson was going to break her heart. They grew up together, in a small suburb outside of NYC, two of the few Jewish kids in their school. It was inevitable that they would end up together. But as soon as he turned 18 and they had graduated, he was gone, back to Israel and out of reach from her. She wouldn't see him again for 10 years, when her parents' deaths brings him home. They have one last week together as he helps her close up her parents' place and mourn her loss, before he was back to Israel. But she wasn't going to let him go again and she follows him to Israel. And there she sees him with a wife and baby and she's ready to return home with her tail between her legs. But she's stopped by Ethan Levin, Ari's boss at Mossad, with an interesting offer, a chance, to help her people. So she packs up her life and moves to Israel, renouncing her American citizenship and becoming an Israeli citizen. From there she spends the next 6 years climbing the ladder to being one of the best agents Mossad has ever seen. When Ethan comes to her once more about a team he's assembling for a mission to get Ethiopian Jews away from the genocide ravaging their country and back to their promised home in Israel. When she finds out Ari is heading the team she is hesitant but Ethan convinced her to give it a shot and meet the rest of the team. How will it be when she sees Ari again? Will they be able to set their shared pasts behind them or will they blow their cover and potentially get themselves and the others killed?

(Highest rank #12 in sci-fi). When a dangerous ancient artifact hidden by the Egyptian gods activates after millennia, the long-dormant powers of a half-alien boy come alive just in time to save the Earth. But he never imagined winning over a girl would be harder than saving the world. And he may not even do that. THE LONG VERSION: Human life was hard enough for 17-year-old Gil Scott when his father suddenly disappeared from a temple dig. But when the half-alien teen uncovers a conspiracy surrounding the artifact his human dad was hunting, Gil must use his alien powers to track it down before it destroys the planet he calls home. With the help of a beautiful Oasen-human hybrid whose drive to succeed masks her private pain, Gil borrows his mom's spaceship, following the same clues across Egypt as his father. The teens battle strange weather phenomena and rising global panic as they race through the suffocating heat of the desert, through deluged ancient temples, and hidden libraries hiding more than just books. That is until it starts snowing on the Great Sphinx and they unearth a millennial-old message from Ra himself, addressed to Gil, with a choice that will affect everyone's future. Unraveling Ra's remaining clues, they rush to locate the powerful artifact in time. But Ra and the other ancient aliens' thousands-year-old, carefully mapped plan to save the Earth from the Aten has a fatal flaw, and their gamble may cost Gil the only life that will matter to him in the end. And possibly the planet itself. (Cover image: Photo of The Pyramids of Giza from Egypt combined with a Hubble image. Original photographer: Rom Srinivasan, 2005)

"That's enough out of you." Frank drew his hands along the tops of her thighs. Her flawless skin was soft and contradicting under his rough palms. That short pink skirt was high and snugged around her upper thigh. If he shoved it up, he could see those expensive panties she wore. When he moved his gaze up, finally settling to her eyes. "You maybe rich, princess but to me you are just a little spoilt brat." Those hazel eyes burned with rebellion. "And you are a dirty poor man." Her words maybe spiteful but her tone was breathy. Like silver drops of crystals dangling in the chandelier except it came tumbling down and crushing him underneath. Snickering, he sneered his next words. "That's where you are wrong, princess. I'm only a man." _ Venus Williams is a high society sophisticated student of Burbington High School. She has never felt the strapping needs of struggle and never endured pain. That also means she never felt love and pleasure either. Becoming student President was her only accomplishment and she was determined to do her best. Politics and manipulation was her usual playbook but getting caught in difficult tight places and sneered upon by the school's janitor was not. Frank Harris always had a hard life. He didn't trust in good things because of their shortened longevity. Hence, the best he does is to never hope. Although, Frank keeps catching the sexy brat in compromising positions and all they ever do is bicker, degrade and keep circling around each other. How long will they keep circling?

Everyone at Camp Half blood and Camp Jupiter believe Leo is dead. However, Leo is very much alive. He just reunited with Calypso, the most beautiful deity he's ever seen. Now Leo and Calypso must make their way back from Ogygia to Camp Half-Blood. It seems like an impossible task, trekking over 1,000 miles on a rickety old dragon with monsters everywhere, on every corner. But Leo built the Argo 2, tamed the metal dragon, channeled fire. You can't stop him. You can't stop the repair boy. Meanwhile, other problems arise for the rest of the seven. Frank, Reyna and Hazel must make it back to Camp Jupiter alive in one piece. Simple enough? Wrong. It's completely on foot with monsters flooding the streets. Also, old memories begin to haunt the team, that may change them forever. The rest of the seven, joined by the Hephaestus cabin, must figure out a way to locate Leo, and get him back to camp safely. However, one factor stands in their way, The curse of cabin 9. *book trailer inside* *do not read unless you have finished the blood of Olympus. (Duh.)* *All rights go to Rick Riordan* PG RATING DISCLAIMER: some people have told me that these events in the book resemble some scenes in "Trails of Apollo." Anything that seems to resemble Trails of Apollo is purely a coincidence. I have not read Trails of Apollo and I will not read it until I have finished this book. This book began long before the Trails of Apollo was published.

He was prepared to say his last prayer. But the blow never came. Instead his saw the Nubian fall to the ground. The desert sands absorbing the man's precious supply of blood that flowed from his headless body. The young Pharaoh felt himself being lifted up by a familiar hand. It was Kahmunrah. --------------------------------- Ahkmenrah and his older brother Kahmunrah are Egyptian Princes of the Fourth Dynasty and the best of brothers. They are as different as the sun and moon or as gold differs from silver. But they brothers in blood and spirit. Two parts of one whole. They have been told more than once that Egypt had been blessed to have them as Sons. But one tragic event tears their lives to pieces and threatens to drive them apart for all eternity. (Highest Ranking: #108 in Historical Fiction) Was a featured story on the Ides of March. Disclaimer: I don't own the characters from Night at the Museum. Also admittedly some of the stuff that is written is a little problematic. I retain full responsibility of the problematic writing and I apologize if it causes hurt or seems insensitive, it was not my intention at the time of writing merely a reflection of the bad influences from the books I had been reading as a young teen. I am trying very hard to make this book more politically correct in my other drafts as do I do not want other people to normalize toxic, homophobic and sexist tropes/ideologies and beliefs through their reading.
