WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT HARPER-COLLINS HAS NOW ACCEPTED A FINISHED VERSION OF “THE PAINTED QUEEN” – a manuscript partially written by Elizabeth Peters and finished by her dear friend, mystery writer Joan Hess, with help from another dear friend, Egyptologist Salima Ikram. The book goes back to fill us in about the Emersons’ activities during the excavation season when the famed Nefertiti bust was discovered. The projected publication date is July 2017!
I just recently discovered Temples, Tombs, & Hierogliphs via my town library(Prescott, Az) and am engrossed in her presentation of my lifelong affair with Egypt .
Women archeologists and Egyptologist s have long been my admiration central and she has tickled my curiosity bone .
My sorrow came rushing in when I researched and found she had gone to the afterlife but so thankful I’ve gained another “Agatha Christie” writer, who approached the world of mystery and the middle east with a pure intent..not to mention just being a “Bad Ass” scholar and author.
Just pleased as punch to have her in my world…,! Deb Bayley
Thank you so much for this, Deb!
