Researching and writing this book continues to impact my life today; it transports me to the ancient world and makes me look at mine differently.

Lots of amazing reviews; check it out.

For some reason, Amazon is still settling my book with the old book cover. But fear not! You can buy it, with the new cover, at Barnes and Noble and other bookstores!
