Her Mystery Still Unsolved ...

Just as you should Google yourself (and your books) occasionally, I did this for the mysteriously vanished Russian Ghost Ship, the MV Lyubov Orlova, which I had instilled with new life in Books 3 – 5 of my Legends of the Winged Scarab series.

Dated November 19^th, 2017, an article by Paul Harper appeared in the UK paper The Sun. (Curiously enough, I can't find any such headline in a US paper).

The ship has been missing for four years after being released out to sea, when on its way to be scrapped in the Dominican Republic the towline snapped and she was set adrift (a bit irresponsible, if you ask me).

“Remains of Russian ghost vessel wash up after it was invaded by hordes of cannibal RATS. Scientists believed wreckage that washed up on a Californian beach may have been the mysterious MV Lyubov Orlova.”

And, yes, “my” ghost ship does feature cannibal rats (with some dire consequences) ...

To my disappointment (but also firing this writer’s imagination for another story perhaps), the article concedes at the end that this is not the Lyubov Orlova, but rather a vessel which was a former floating casino run by The Mob and called the SS Monte Carlo.

 As long as the ghost ship's whereabouts remain a mystery, this is good news for my books.

 My renamed Bucanero II (with its convenient home port of Caracas) can now sail on with unimpeded impunity under the ownership of all-around smuggler and modern-day buccaneer Lorenzo Dominguez.

The Lost Labyrinth of Egypt

     In Khamsin, The Devil Wind of The Nile (Book 1 – Legends of the Winged Scarab), I already briefly mention the legend of a vast palace complex along the Nile.

     At that time, I had no idea this long-buried mysterious structure would become one of the main attractions and wonders for my modern-day archaeologists. I became fascinated with this mystery.

     You can follow my take on this ancient two-storied engineering marvel in Books 4 and 5 of my Legends of the Winged Scarab series.

     In The Crystal Curse, the bad buys try to exploit the existence of mysterious crystals growing inside.

     In The Nile Conspiracy, the Labyrinth threatens to become a death trap.

     

   

     In my research, I could not find out much about The Labyrinth – its existence and exploration, for obscure reasons, having long been denied by the Egyptian Government. However, it was mentioned by the Greek historian Herodotus and in other ancient writings – therefore, chances were it had to exist.

   In recent years, the excavation and findings of the Mataha Expedition Hawara 2008 – Labyrinthof  Egypt – was still being suppressed.

     As of late, some experts with ground-penetrating radar have been allowed onto the site near Hawara. They indeed confirmed that “there is something big down there.”

(The diagram of the Egyptian labyrinth produced by 17^th-century German scholar, Athanasius Kircher)

     In an excellent article, April Holloway, Co-Owner, Editor and Writer of Ancient-Origins, brings us more about this buried complex.

Stories About My Pasha, Me and Other Furries

Here is the second Excerpt from "Pasha" on Helen Hollick's Blog:

Read the first story here:

Pasha's is only one among many entertaining stories about shelter cats and dogs, their individuals traits and the happy days when they realize they are being adopted.

Of course, Pasha does get center stage. He was my foster-failure - that's when the foster parent turns adopter. I still miss him.
