11:11 and November 11th 2011

I have been haunted by the digits 11:11 for over ten years now. Where ever I went they seemed to follow me around, showing up on dinner checks and clock faces.  Not to get too personal, by my nurse even announced in a loud voice just as my water broke while giving birth to my beautiful child that the time was exactly 11:11.

I thought it was just my own personal thing between myself and the universe or my good angels.  But low and behold, I eventually discovered that this is a world wide phenomena.  There are many websites, books, films and even political movements associated with 11:11.  Go ahead and Google it and you'll be amazed!

For my own part, I just try to pause and say a prayer when ever I see the familiar numbers popping up and I find they creep into my writing quite a bit too.  Cleopatra's Secret: Keepers of the Light does not have 11:11 coded into it, and yet, I feel the very nature of the esoteric teachings of the ancient pharaohs and their priests do have a link to sacred math and geometry.

So in honor of the upcoming day 11/11/11, Cleopatra's Secret: Keepers of the Light will be absolutely free to download on Amazon for that one day only.  I hope you enjoy it!

And next time you see 11:11, I pray you will pause and turn your thoughts to the Light.  Maybe I'll be sharing the moment with you in my own little corner of the world.

UPDATE: Amazon will not allow me to give away Cleo for free.  My sincerest apologies and hopes that my dear readers will have a great 11/11/11 anyway!

Cleopatra's Secret: Keepers of the Light on sale for .99 cents until Labor Day

Just in time for summer's last lazy days, Cleopatra's Secret: Keepers of the Light is on sale for just .99 cents until Labor Day.

Hidden beneath a veil of incense inside Egypt’s most sacred temple lies the door to a secret chamber Cleopatra must guard with her life.  Within resides an ancient mystery the pharaohs and their high priests, The Keepers of the Light, have protected for thousands of years. 

But with the rise of Rome’s first Emperor, Augustus Caesar, Cleopatra is forced to fight to save her sacred order from the Roman invaders.  If she fails, the brutal Emperor will twist the light The Keepers guard into a fierce darkness, laying waste to the world and destroying the harmony of the universe forever.

Can she trust another Roman, Marc Antony, the lover who has blinded her with desire, even as Augustus and his legions stand poised at the gates of Alexandria?  And will her soul-stirring passion for Antony endure when Cleopatra is forced to sacrifice her life for the secret she is sworn to protect?

Self Publishing - Cleopatra's Secret: Keepers of the Light

When my first novel, Moonlight On Diamonds, received an offer for publication from The Wild Rose Press, I was thrilled and went on to have a great experience with my publisher. 

            But the curiosity is killing me.  So I'm taking the leap into self publishing with my new historical fantasy romance, Cleopatra's Secret: Keepers of the Light. 

            The allure of total control over my product was the first enticement.  As a natural-born control freak, I love knowing I have final say over my cover, distribution and release schedule. 

            I also like the idea that I can price my book at $1.99 and make it accessible to lots and lots of readers, because, let's face it, we're still in a recession. 

            I agonized over the whole, Kindle vs. Smashwords vs. Nook thing.  To DRM or not to DRM?  At the end of the day, I decided to go with Kindle, Smashwords and Nook and just let go of the whole DRM debate.  If people are going to pirate your book, they're going to pirate your book.  C'est la guerre!  At $1.99, I hope most people will choose to buy it.

            Cleopatra's Secret: Keepers of the Light comes out in August.  So stay tuned for more on the upcoming release!
