about this book: The Valley Iris is the first of five prequels of my debut series, The Lost Pharaoh Chronicles. The series covers the Ancient Egyptian New Kingdom, specifically chronicling the reigns of Akhenaten, Smenkare, Neferneferuaten, Tutankhamun, and Ay, whom were all erased by Ay's successor, Horemheb…hence, the series title, The Lost Pharaoh Chronicles. The Valley Iris reveals the origins of Tey, the future Queen of Pharaoh Ay. The title for this prequel has multiple meanings, some of which are buried in the book, so I will let each reader uncover the meanings as they dive into the story.

I spent a lot of time researching this time period and crafting and outlining before I actually starting writing the series. I find the Amarna period fascinating and loved crafting this story that fit within the historical evidences that have survived to today. The Valley Iris touched my heart inspiring me to pursue my own destiny and hope you feel the same.

I hope each reader finds meaning, enjoyment, thrills and tears in this book and looks forward to the reading the remainder of Prequel and Complement Collections, and if they haven't read the series yet, to dive right on in!
