Review Quotes:
"YA readers will enjoy the thrilling adventure inside the pharaoh's tomb, which read like a fast-paced movie. Personally, my favorite aspect of the story was the banter (and wonderful chemistry) between Maddy and Riley. I love that this first book explored their friendship, with a hint of something more. And I'm excited because there are 5 more books in the series to watch this budding relationship blossom." Beth C. Greenberg, Author of the Cupid's Fall series.
"Secrets of the Nile is an absolute delight! From the wonderfully engaging characters (Riley and Madison, as well as the various supporting players in Egypt and Sydney) to the high-stakes conflicts to the pacing and well-drawn descriptions of ancient Egypt, every aspect of the author's debut novel sings. It's the type of book you don't want to put down because you can't wait to see what happens next--either in the future, present, alternate present, or the past." Lisa Fox, award-winning author of Core Truths.
"I have a love for all things Ancient Egypt, and this was a wonderful ride through history. The characters and story are engaging, and the twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat. The writer imparts information on history and science while taking us along on a rollicking good adventure. She engages our senses with sights and smells, making the reader feel like we are a part of the land of ancient Egypt." Patsy Pratt-Herzog, Award-winning short fiction writer
"I have always wondered what could happen if we ever changed something in history. The ramifications of just a word here or there or even helping them improve their lifestyle and how it could impact our lives is an eye-opener. It's the simple things in life that can change the world as we know it." Cathy Missine, Poet and Short Fiction Writer
