Publishing this book is a dream come true for me, and I have many people to thank. Thank you, Histria Books, for believing in me and choosing to publish it. Thanks to all my early readers and my writing coach at The Writing Gym. Thanks to my friends and family and my bestie, Angela, to whom the book is dedicated. She encouraged me to write it—dream and believe, and you can accomplish whatever you want. I needed to hear this. Thanks to my colleagues and students at The Grammar School in Putney, VT, where my passion for ancient Egypt was born. When I was searching for a novel for my students, I couldn't find the right book. I decided, "I can write that book." And I did. Finally, thank you, Quinn Thomson, for your spot-on illustrations.
Stay tuned! My next book is a fictional biography of Tutankhamun. It is both educational and adventurous, with a teaser of romance and a total tragedy.
