Ruby finds herself being dragged by her over excited and rather embarrassing parents on a sight-seeing holiday to Egypt. Viewing the pyramids is the last thing a fourteen year old girl wants to be doing when she could be basking in the glorious sunshine by the pool instead. Her disappointment soon turns to delight when she curiously follows a black cat inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, where upon entering she is mysteriously transported back in time to Ancient Egypt. Aided by a talking feline. Guided by a dragonfly. Protected by a Falcon headed God. Ruby must embrace an important mission that will not only challenge her ability to amend her stroppy attitude, but will change the purpose of her life forever.

Delightful tale of what might have been to get where you are. ~~ Nat on Goodreads
Five Lesser Known Facts about the Book
~ I have had the seed for the idea of this book planted in my head since I was about seven years old. I had read a book on Ancient Egypt and I knew right then that one day I would write about it.
~ I always knew that one of the main character's that I wanted to be featured would be that of a black cat
~ I had never considered self publishing the book until a woman in my creative writing class told me about Lulu.com and it was about this time last year that I put the wheels in motion to self publish it.
~ There was never any intention of a sequel to this book however there may be one on the cards...
