Continuing with excerpts from Priestess of the Nile, out from Carina Jan 23rd
The goddess Isis suspects Sobek is hiding something, as he visits Merys more and more often. Isis comes to confront him as he goes about his appointed tasks, keeping the Nile clear and free flowing:
One minute the light was shining on
sand and scrub brush and the next minute the queen
stood there, tall, silent, swathed in her customary black
sheath.
“What a surprise to find you working.” Scorn
burned in her voice. “You have been absent from your
duties to my river quite often of late.”
What can I say to that? It’s true.

Thank you, I’m honored! Next week will be the last excerpt from this book, since it’s out on January 23rd, but I’ll definitely still be posting excerpts from other WIP.
Nice atmosphere to her appearance — the words match the feeling well!
Thank you, much appreciated!

LOVED your comment LOL. Glad you’re enjoying the story!
Terrific six. I’m enjoying this story and wish you best wishes for a great release. (BTW, just b/c it’s coming out is no reason to stop #sixsunday. It’s good promo!)

Gods and humans mixing it up? I’ll have to look for this one. What part of Egyptian history is the setting? (Just watched Ramses and Tut on PBS last night.)
1500 BC….thanks for the interest in my paranormal romance take on Ancient Egypt!
Interesting to know that even gods can be intimidated, albeit by more superior gods. Great six!
Well they can be in my take on Ancient Egypt – there’s always a heirarchy, right? LOL
I love the mood of this story. I always look forward to my weekly visit here. :c)
