“From the lavish world of fin de siècle Cairo, to the exotic tales of Pharaohs, gods, and djinn, Dead Egyptians serves up adventure at every turn. This is a steamy page-turner packed with Egyptian lore, an abundance of magic, and a lot of spice. Debut author Del Blackwater brings her characters to vivid life on every page. I’m already looking forward to the next installment in this wild ride of a series.” Lynne Shaner, Author of "Journey to Everland Bay"Join Del Blackwater at Blue House Books on Saturday, January 31st, from 12 to 3 p.m. Del will be chatting with readers about "Dead Egyptians" and signing books, so stop by anytime during the event to meet this Wisconsin author!
About DEAD EGYPTIANS:
In Egypt, all things are possible. So discovers Albion Stanley, a recent Cambridge graduate and brilliant linguist, newly arrived in Cairo in 1902. Albion sees the unseen, including ghosts. It is a less than comfortable reality, which he tends to with copious amounts of whiskey and numerous other vices.
Also in Cairo is Aleister Crowley, the famed occultist. Aleister is a dangerous man, but not an unsympathetic one and never a dull one. Together, they discover the world of dead Egyptians, some of whom are older than the pyramids.
Dead Egyptians have a lot to say. They are deeply unsatisfied with the state of modern Egypt, yet, for all their wisdom and power, they have limitations. As a Seer, Albion proves indispensable to both Crowley and the dead Egyptians.
"Dead Egyptians" transports the reader into a glittering turn of the century Cairo, while also addressing the atrocities of colonialism. It is hedonistic, while also exploring the complex world of Ancient Egyptian religious thought. It is historically accurate down to the fabrics, while remaining fantastical at its core.
About DEL BLACKWATER:
Del Blackwater is a novelist and travel writer based in Wisconsin. Her life vacillates wildly between a quiet existence in the country and a feverish, risk-centric existence when on the road. Her travels have taken her to four continents, and she makes questionable decisions in all of them. While Egypt is inevitably the high-water mark of both her travels and her writing, she tries to spend time in other places as well.
Del is the author of "Dead Egyptians", a historical fantasy series set in the Edwardian era. She is also published many times over as a board game and tarot deck designer, notably as the creator of Playlist Wars, a music game. When not keeping busy, she unwinds by taking care of a menagerie of critters and enjoying something she calls porch time.
