My enduring Romance with the
Ancient World!
I love all things from the ancient
world! The art, the legacy of myths, and mysteries that early cultures produced
have had my imagination in overdrive since I was a young . . . um---err, well
for years! LOL!
The unsolved mysteries especially
have held me enraptured, both as an artist and author, giving rise to both my series: Treasure of the Ancients and Paranormally
Yours. The first series adheres strictly to the real world; although it is
fiction. The research on the language and mythology is quite extensive, whereas the series Paranormally Yours
jumps into the world of fantasy with both feet. . . . Perhaps flying leap is
more apt. Hahaha!
The first book in the series
Treasure or the Ancients, Treasure of
Egypt, delves into one of the
greatest mysteries of the ancient world, the myths surrounding the Great Sphinx. Mankind has asked for centuries where
the image of the Sphinx originated. Discover for yourself the origins of the amazing symbol as well as several hieroglyphs that have been misidentified or unknown
altogether.
The research into the book took
years and when I do deviate from the “real world” to explore the ancient “fictitious”
tomb as a reader you are sent on a journey that also follows the Book of Gates,
which is within the Book of Coming Forth By Day or the Land of Two Ways. Some would
call this the Book of the Dead, but since that wasn’t a term used until late in
the nineteenth century I resisted the temptation to use it in my adventure that takes place in the year 1863.
The second book in the series,
Treasure of the Emerald Isle, has been fascinating to research and I cannot
wait until its release in 2013. It involves the mystery surrounding the great megalithic structures such as Stonehenge and Newgrange. Who built them and where and why did they go?

Paranormally Yours
The Ghost Pirate's Treasure is the first book in my new series Paranormally Yours and delves into the world of fantasy. We are still exploring the ancient myths of the world . . . but in this series everything of fantasy, myth, and legend can and probably will pop up. Hahahaha!
“Laugh out loud
humorous mystery!”
A delightfully enchanting, ghostly tale, filled with light hearted
humor, heartwarming romance, haunted histories, and ancient mysteries.
A tale of
discovery, mischievous spirits, and Mayan mayhem!
What do you get when a mischievous ghost, a new divorcée, her
helpful mother, the nosey neighbor, her hunky son, a leaky pooch, and a fed up
gardener are thrust together for the Christmas season?
A fast paced, action-packed, mystical thriller that is just what
the veterinarian ordered to start the new year-tun off right!
Jessie has agreed to house sit her eccentric aunts empty bed and
breakfast for the Christmas holiday while she tours Italy. But Jessie soon
learns that the old mansion isn’t necessarily empty . . . . After meeting the
resident ghost, Jessie is convinced she’s lost her old life, her practice, and
her beloved dog, but quite possibly her sanity as well!
Having just gone through a divorce, Jessie has more on her plate
than dealing with her nosey neighbor, the blue haired dynamo’s
perpetually leaky dachshund, and her gorgeous son, who could be at home in the
halls of Valhalla playing the part of Thor. . . . She has to find Jacques, the
ghost pirate’s treasure map, the fabled city of El Dorado, and the Heart of the
Mountain itself in order to save the man she loves . . . along with the planet!
This book explores the hidden mysteries of the ancient myths
surrounding the Mayan Sun calendar along with enough nonsense to make it all
deliriously wacky. The Christmas season takes on a whole new meaning in this
humorous, romantic adventure!

In this series I have enjoyed combining the myths and icons from these different subjects. My third book is in process, Luck of the Irish is already underway. Pulling together the information, myths, and superstitions surrounding the topic and incorporating it into my story and letting my characters have at it has been a riot!
