Anyone want to read a book I wrote?

Back during the Covid days I wrote a couple of books for the fun of it. It was my Covid catharsis so to speak. One is a multi-volume historical novel called, Amulet of the KA. It has real people and events plus a lot of obscure ancient history you don't find too often. The dedication shows my intent: "To all those who love history but wonder what happened in the gaps." I try to fill the gaps.

Well, I found some glitches and need to revise it. If anyone is interested, I'd be glad to give you a copy to critique. Just let me know. You can say anything you want good, bad, indifferent, missed that, whatever. I'd appreciate the input.

I've finished two volumes of what will be four in the end. The first takes you from the origin of the amulet to an Egyptian pharaoh and a general of imperial Rome. Strangely, in our present time it seems apropos.

Here's a little blurb:

A small extragalactic meteorite found by an ancient Egyptian peasant becomes an object of worship, mystery and intrigue as it passes through human history past, present and future. Transformed into an amulet it was worn by both kings and peasants alike. Whether the stone has the power to gather the essence of the living, or its beauty simply stimulates the human imagination becomes a question for scientists and philosophers, but one thing is certain … it is not what it seems.

I had a lot of fun writing it.
