Dandelions – Pt 2, Moon

Dandelions – Pt 1, Sun
They sprouted at opposite ends of the garden, so far apart that Sun couldn’t see Moon until she grew over the edge of her untamed planter box. Buried among the bramble by the hillside, it took Sun a long time to spot her pale white face. But once he did, he could not...

Scions of the Sphinx , Ch. 9
Chapter 9 of Scions of the Sphinx gives us our first look at the inside of Mu'at's organization. What's with the industrial warehouse full of mining equipment? We also get a look at Mu'at's private penthouse (pretty swanky) and a glimpse into his motivation. I loved...
Scions of the Sphinx, Ch. 8
Scions of the Sphinx, Chapter 8, holds one of my favorite scenes of all time. Here, finally, we get some of the history and mythology behind the Great Sphinx at Giza. It is the research behind this scene that prompted me to first start writing this book. Virtually all...
