It is the time of Egypt's Middle Kingdom.. Egypt is powerful under the rule of warrior kings. It is a time of exploration, the bright period of classical Egypt.
Kheti, once a proud officer of chariotry under the great Pharaoh Senusret III, has returned home, not to glory but to pain and poverty. Kheti is now a fisherman trying to eke out a living on the Nile. Despairing and exhausted, he falls asleep in his little papyrus skiff, only to awaken when his vessel is swamped by the waves spawned by the splashdown of an immense crocodile that seems to have fallen from the sky.
Kheti, terrified, tries to paddle for home, but the crocodile follows him and is soon living on his family's homestead and bringing in fish every day.
Kheti's family prospers from their new member. But the quality and number of fish is attracting attention, and there is something not quite ordinary about the huge beast. What sort of being is he? And why is the night sky growing increasingly dark?
Step into the world of The Thirty Cubit Crocodile and savor the wonder and the mystery.
Her love of storytelling developed into a love of writing. She wrote her first novella, based on Kamehameha's Hawaii, in middle school. She started writing novels in graduate school and has produced four novels set in New Kingdom Egypt: The City of Refuge, Mourningtide, Pharaoh's Son and A Killing Among the Dead, all part of The Memphis Cycle. Another volume, set after Mourningtide and prior to Pharaoh's Son, will be published under the name Kadesh.
The heartbreak and gallantry of the American Civil war has always caught her imagination, and she served as a Docent in the Civil War Library and Museum in Philadelphia for some years. The Safeguard arose from her research into the Georgia theater of the war.
