For 12,000 years a dark and deadly secret has been hidden deep below the Great Sphinx of Giza. In present day Egypt, a frightening, yet awe-inspiring story unravels as archaeologists race against time to decipher an ancient truth...
"A deep probing mystery riddled with prophecy and danger, Secret of the Sands uses Egypt and her mythology as a backdrop to delve into the meanings of life and religion." -McNally Robinson
P.S. I thought I would share our video trailer with you:
Thanks for the add! If you haven’t already, please check out my novel, GETTING IN TUNE, and hear the fictional Killjoys at www. rogertrott. com. The story is about an angst-ridden guitarist who drags his band onto the road in search of the transcendent power of Pete Townshend’s Universal Chord. It’s a wild ride through the world of ‘70s rock & roll. Best—Roger
Thanks for the add, Somerville Library! I used to live in Somerville. In fact, I started writing my debut novel (Into the Wild) while I lived there, and I used the Somerville Library for research. I particularly loved the adorable West Branch -- it was on my walk home, and I used to stop there constantly.
