My Review

Having read so many books by this author, most of them horror and thrillers, I was wondering how she’d do with a romance novel. She did beautifully.

Kathryn swept me back in time right along with Maggie Owen, an Egyptologist. The unearthing of Ramose Nakh-Min’s tomb is a significant find and she never could have imagined the mysterious event that catapulted her back to 1340 A.D. Egypt, right in the middle of an escaped slave round up. Her knowledge of this period saved her from death and since she didn’t know when or if she’d ever return to her time, she did her best to blend in and soak up the culture. She never planned to fall in love. And never suspected it could cost her everything.

Kathryn writes a compelling story. She knows her stuff. I could see everything. Ever wondered what Egypt was like way back when? You’ll know after reading Egyptian Heart. I was quickly wrapped up in Maggie’s adventure, wondering whether she would ever get back home and if she would even want to. How would it work if she stayed? What was waiting for her if she made it back to present day?

So many possibilities and the author weaves her spell so well.

Synopsis

Maggie Owen is a beautiful, spirited Egyptologist…but lonely. Even being in Egypt on a grant from the college she teaches at to search for an undiscovered necropolis she’s certain lies below the sands beyond the pyramids of Gizah doesn’t give her the happiness she’d hoped it would. There has always been and is something missing. Love.
Then her workmen uncover Ramose Nakh-Min’s ancient tomb and an amulet from his sarcophagus hurls her back to 1340 B.C–where she falls hopelessly in love with the man she was destined to be with, noble Ramose, who faithfully serves the heretic Pharaoh Akhenaton and his queen Nefertiti.
She’s fallen into perilous times with civil war threatening Egypt. She’s been mistaken for one of Ramose’s runaway slaves and with her blond hair, jinn green eyes and fair skin she doesn’t fit in. Some say she’s magical and evil. Ramose’s favorite, Makere, attempts to kill her.
The people, angry the pharaoh Akhenaton has set his queen Nefertiti aside and he’s forced them to worship his god, Aton (instead of their many Egyptian gods), are rising up against him.
Maggie’s caught in the middle of it in a dangerous land and time she doesn’t belong in.
In the end, desperately in love with Ramose, will she find a way to stay alive and with him in ancient Egypt–and to make a difference in his world and history?
Because Maggie has finally found love.

About the Author
Kathryn Meyer Griffith

Since childhood I’ve been an artist and worked as a graphic designer in the corporate world and for newspapers for twenty-three years before I quit to write full time. But I’d already begun writing novels at 21, over forty-five years ago now, and have had twenty-six (six romantic horror, four thrillers, three horror novels, two romantic SF horror, one romantic suspense, one romantic time travel, one historical romance and eight murder mysteries) previous novels, two novellas and twelve short stories published from many traditional publishers since 1984. But since 2012 I’ve gone into self-publishing in a big way; and upon getting some of my older books’ full rights back for the first time in 33 years, have self-published all of them along with my newer novels. My four Dinosaur Lake novels and four Spookie Town Mysteries (Scraps of Paper, All Things Slip Away, Ghosts Beneath Us and Witches Among Us) are my best-sellers. Once branded a horror writer, these days I consider myself a storyteller.

I’ve been married to Russell for thirty-nine years; have a son and two grandchildren and I live in a small quaint town in Illinois. We have a quirky cat, Sasha, and the three of us live happily in an old house in the heart of town. Though I’ve been an artist, and a folk/classic rock singer in my youth with my brother Jim, writing has always been my greatest passion, my butterfly stage, and I’ll probably write stories until the day I die…or until my memory goes.

  1. Beware Of The Reader says:

    Fantastic review! Romance is more my cup of tea than horror honestly. I’ve read many books about ancient Egypt twenty years ago and I found it fascinating!

    • Hi Beware Of The Reader
      even my horror novels have a blend of romance, mystery and suspense to them. I combine genres in almost all my books and short stories. In the 1980’s I was branded a horror author but since then publish all fiction genres. Nice to meet you.

  2. anxious58 says:

    I would choose mid 1800’s to see how tough things really were.

  3. Oh man, anxious. You want to work too hard. Myself, I would go back to the 90s. That’s far enough for me. I was having some great times, doing a lot of traveling…
    sherry @ fundinmental

  4. Thank you so much Laura for reading and reviewing my Egyptian Heart… it is quite different than my usual horror or murder mysteries. But I have always been fascinated with ancient Egypt ever since I saw The Ten Commandments (Charleston Heston one) and The Mummy movies. It was a subject I often wrote (and illustrated) about for school as I was growing up. I have two ancient Egyptian themed novels, this one and The Calling which is a ghost/horror book. I didn’t want to waste all the research I did for The Calling (originally a 1994 Zebra mass market paperback) so I also used it to eventually write Egyptian Heart. This book is also rare because it is one of my only “sweet romances”.

    • fuonlyknew says:

      And such a sweet romance it is, Kathryn. It shows that you can write great stories in others genres, though your dinosaurs are still my favorites!

  5. I’d go to the Garden of Eden. I’ve always wondered whether or not Adam and Eve had belly buttons. 🙂
    –Michael emhelms63@yahoo.com

  6. Cricket says:

    I think I would go back to the 80s, fun times for me back then.

  7. Dii Bylo says:

    I think I would be like Sherry…I think I would go back to late 60’s – early 70’s…I knew everything then, feared nothing! Adventure was my middle name! (Plus, I don’t care if Adam and Eve had belly buttons…;) )

    Thanks to Laura and Sherry’s reviews, I have read a couple of your books and LOVE them! DiiBylo212@gmail.com

  8. I know it doesn’t count for me, but…you know since everyone is saying where they’d like to go back to (in time) I had to post that I’d love to be able to go back to a holiday (Christmas or Easter) when I was a young girl in the late 1950’s when my whole large family were still alive….for one day and night. See my mother, father, six siblings, grandfather and mother one more time. I know, I know. I’d also like to be invisible and invincible and watch a day in the life of Cleopatra (and understand the language).

  9. Sorry, I’m not interested in going back in time. I’m quite happy where (and when) I am.

  10. Cyn says:

    I would go back to the frontier when life was wild and you could trust your neighbor. Living off the land when man was the law, life was tough but it was real. You knew what you worked for and enjoyed family time, Cowboys were rough around the edges but were real men who know how to take care of a family. Indians were wild but if you could make them your brother they were your brother for life. Respect was given and truth was pride.

    If I were to win I would love an audio code
    thanks for the chance.

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I do love reading about that period in history.. Not sure if I’d like to live then but it would be fun to visit:)

  11. Tiffany Tosh says:

    I would choose the Rennessaince period in Italy, because I’m interested in that time period and location.

  12. I would choose around 1100 Scotland, love me some Highlanders! <3

    novella-group@mail.com

  13. I’d go back to last Tuesday and tell my friend not to drive home.

  14. Chelle Campbell says:

    I’d like to go back to ancient Greece or ancient Egypt, or even ancient Ireland … B.C.E. maybe Medievel or Renaissance times, or even older.

  15. isisthe12th says:

    If I could travel back in time I would Go to the late 1600’s to witness The Salem Witch Trials. Thank you
    isisthe12th(at)gmail(dot)com

    • Ah, Isisthe12th
      the Salem witch trials, huh? That was a dangerous time for intelligent women. If you like to read about witches you might like my book WITCHES and WITCHES II:Apocalypse.

      • Julie says:

        I would love to see the city of Atlantis before it’s destruction. Of course, I wouldn’t want to hang around too long!!

      • Julie….yes that would be neat seeing Atlantis before the flood. I’d like to be unseen though and understand the language and be able to travel anywhere for a whole day….then come back home to 2018.
