Trapped in Ancient Egypt when a sandstorm plunges twelve-year-old Aaron and his friend Manar back in time, vengeful gods mistake him for Ra’s mortal son. Sharp-witted Manar draws on her Bedouin skills, knowledge of hieroglyphics, and history to help them survive. They befriend a young Tutankhamun, the same age yet already a king, and learn a powerful spell from his stepmother Queen Nefertiti, but if misused, it could cast them into the underworld. With advanced warrior skills gained from playing Fortnite, Aaron helps General Horemheb win a war against invaders. And with Manar’s help, Aaron works through his parent’s divorce and self-doubts on this perilous journey.

With a passion for travel, I left Australia and journeyed across America, wound my way around Europe and spent many years driving a truck across Africa. Egypt has always called to me, so I ended my travels there and set up a business that allowed me to explore the history of this remarkable country. Although I write fictional stories for young people, I weave my authentic experiences and historical knowledge into these tales with the hope I share some of this enjoyment with my readers.
