Overview: I’m a man born some two thousand years too late. My heart and mind are often drifting to faraway places. Sometimes, I’m in the Coliseum, watching the brutal games. The sighs and roars of the crowd press all around me. As the emperor concludes the proceedings, he demands a story be told. I beckon a nearby servant forward for a quick sip of the delicious red grape juice and then stand up. . . Others, I’m huddled beneath the Great Pyramids, the desert stars shine bright and clear above. The pharaoh has demanded a tale to distract from the night chill. A bitter gust lifts sand grains into the air as I begin to speak. I’m a storyteller, through and through. My novels are historical thrillers, but there are millions of books on Amazon.

1. The Pharaoh’s Curse
All around the bloodstained sands of Egypt, foreign forces stir…
Merkhet has never cared for the Golden Throne. He is more than happy being the younger prince, hiding among the crowd as his brother is crowned pharaoh. That’s until the High Priest interrupts the ceremony, announcing a vision from the gods.
Thrust into a world he doesn’t understand, Pharaoh Merkhet is caught in a desperate balancing act of serving his people, soothing the restless court, and satisfying his ego-battered brother. All while rallying their defences for the imminent Hittite invasion. His father made everything seem so simple. Yet the great pharaoh never faced what Merkhet does now. Someone, or something, is lurking in the shadows, plotting against him.
The citizens’ murmurs grow louder by the day. The Cursed Pharaoh has angered the gods. The lifegiving floods will not arrive. Merkhet must expose the shadows if he is to deliver Egypt from famine, war, and utter devastation…
2. The Pharaoh’s Sacrifice
A darkness lurks within Egypt, demanding the greatest of all sacrifices…
Pharaoh Merkhet must commit to the rebuild of Thebes if he is to secure his family’s legacy and the support of his citizens. Hard work has never bothered him. He is content, hauling mudbricks alongside his fellow labourers. That’s until Merkhet discovers the limp and bloodied body of his first love.
Battling an enemy he can’t see—or understand—Merkhet is without the wisdom of his mother and his Nubian protector. When tragedy strikes at the Opet Festival, a mute scribe and a tomb robber become his greatest allies. Yet the pharaoh could never have imagined that Thebes’ most innocent souls could be turned against him.
As the shifting shadows tighten their grip on chaos, the citizens’ cries drain into the Nile. Merkhet must face his deepest fears if he is to preserve Egypt and their sacred traditions from sinking beneath the desert sands…
