Thunder on the Nile is two distinct and exciting tales, one set in ancient Rome and Egypt, the other in the futuristic 21st century. In book one, Thunder on the Nile, separated twins Selene Philadelphae, Cleopatra's high priestess of Hathor, and Lucilla the Vestal Virgin of Rome, struggle to unite in order to call forth the Thunder on the Nile. Lucilla, avowed to remain chaste, and her would be lover, Acilius Cassius, are caught in the cross hairs of Roman politics and most dangerous of all, among secret societies vying for world control. Book II, Tonic, takes place in the later part of our own century. Gorgeous, rich, savvy, (and witches), our heroines, Veronica and Hannah Radcliffe, are reborn in the upper echelon of society. Engaged in the ongoing battle for global dominance against the men they love, Veronica and Hannah have nonetheless embraced the Order, as they were born to do. Old karmic debts demand to be paid, and Veronica and her soulmate Logan find their coming together passionate yet difficult, but ultimately a factor in the big divine plan. On a wild adventure through North America, Europe, and Transatlantica, the twins and some unlikely accomplices must unearth the elusive Tonic of Life before their enemies. If they fail, those in the Order who wield dark magick will not only tighten their death grip on the globe, but cement total domination of the human race. With all those books to choose from you shouldn't have difficulty to find one you love. Have a wonderful holiday season and please, don't work too hard. (((hugs))) Louann
