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.
