Time Travel


Time Travel where would I go and why.
Geez this is a hard one because I absolutely enjoy history. If I really had to chose it would have to be ancient Egypt around the eighteenth dynasty to see Queen Hatshepsut, the second female pharaoh. Even though I’m not a fan of the heat just being able to experience what life was like back then would be incredible. The thought of being able to see just how the Queen came to power and maybe to find out what happened to her in the end. I mean think about it she was the longest reigning female pharaoh, she ruled for twenty years I find that truly amazing. I love a good murder mystery so maybe I could solve her mystery. In my opinion Hatshepsut was a fair ruler but why was she erased, it’s crazy. You have to think about it, like was it mainly because she was a woman? Well, I can understand because women have been fighting for equal rights for what seems like forever, but I’m glad women like Hatshepsut did exist in history to show all women the inner strength we all have deep inside. I’d love to be able to lay my hands on the walls of her temple. When I was researching for Thieves in the Night, I immersed myself in all thing ancient Egypt, my daughter even surprised me with two very special books, one was the Egyptian Book of the Dead, (it was awesome) and the other was thick book all about ancient Egypt. I loved them both, but when I was writing the book, I felt the rough sand underneath my worn sandals it would be very cool. If you’ve never heard of Hatshepsut please check out her story and feel the urge female energy flow through you.
