About the Author

Born on a farm in Wisconsin, served in the Navy during World War Two, aboard a submarine and a destroyer, advanced to Naval Intelligence before the end of the war. Studied writing at the San Francisco Fiction School. Worked for the Southern Pacific Railroad as an investigator, traveling from Portland to New Orleans. Then I became self employed, working as a private investigator, photojournalist and freelance writer. More than thirty years ago, I discovered in Sutro’s Museum the 3,000 year old mummy of a young woman. Her name was Mir-eh and she was a relative of Ramses the Great. I felt a strange affinity for her and decided she would live again, in the printed word. To quote an Ancient Egyptian Philosopher, “Loved ones are never really gone until their names are no longer spoken.” In my spare time, I researched Ancient Egypt and began writing her story.
