If you're looking for a good old-fasioned adventure with a little romance to boot, then you will like my new novel, Cherished Preserver.
While the story begins in Sarah Scott's home town in New York, most of it is centered around her exciting experiences while she works as a geological assistant on an archaeological teaching expedition in Egypt's famous Valley of the Kings, circa 1910.
Now, you may ask how a young woman acquire such a position in the Edwardian period? Luck, I suppose and an incredible, natural ability and quick mind. You see, Sarah Scott is no uppity female pushing for a man's position, she simply wants to have a chance to do what she loves and is really good at. This passion is realized by her mentor, friend and geology professor, Joseph T. Ross. (Enter the handsome hero) Ross offers Sarah the chance of a lifetime. To be his assistant on a dig in Egypt where they will teach archaeological students about the geological aspects of archaeology and act a advisors to the dig. Of course love will blossom between them. It is a romance after all.
I chose this time period because it was an interesting time in the USA with many changes occuring, but it wasn't as crazy as the 20's. Also, the clothes were better (this matters to we women, doesn't it?). And the time between the mid to late 1800's and up to and including Howard Carter's discovery of King Tut's tomb was really the golden period of Egyptology. I've always been drawn to the exciting aspect of those old expeditions in the deserts of Egypt. Beautiful vistas, mosquito netting, canvas tents, dust, water-shortage, the ever-present cliché of the deadly Egyptian cobra poised to strike, (honestly I couldn't help it. How could I write an Egyptian adventure novel without a cobra?) evil tattooed villains attacking at every turn. Well, at least this is what Sarah experiences. Only, she brought the villains with her from New York and they are led by an enemy from Sarah's past, or rather her parents' past. A gold-hungry narcissist out to get Sarah for reasons of his own.
It really is a fun book that I enjoyed writing. If it sounds like something you would enjoy reading, visit my e-store at www.createspace.com/3467694 to order a copy of your own.
You can also get it on Amazon where you will pay the same price, only my royalty check will be much smaller because Amazon will take most of it. So if you want to help out a self-published author, buy it from my e-store.

Thanks and enjoy!
