believed that everything that happened, for better or for worse, was
determined by the will of the gods.

A
lockdown project inspired by ancient Egypt.
Having
been a passionate avocational Egyptologist for most of my life, I
often wondered what it might have been like to live in those far-off
times. During the Covid lockdown, I started writing a short story to
pass the time, and this eventually developed into a saga about just
such a fantasy (at almost 400,000 words, I think it counts as a saga
anyway!).
It
started as a mystery involving the son of a humble embalmer who is
told to prepare the body of the king’s daughter for the afterlife.
Unknown to anyone else, he has secretly loved the girl for
as long as he could remember and when he discovers that she had been
murdered, sets out to solve the mystery and prevent a plot against
the king himself. Then, in the way of all addictions, the story grew
as new adventures presented themselves and new members of the
extended family were introduced.
The
eight stories that make up The
Will of the Gods
is set in Pharaonic (‘Ancient’) Egypt during the time of the New
Kingdom. Although published in three volumes, they form a continuous
narrative. They follow the same principal characters, told in the
first person, through interconnected adventures spanning about fifty
years and the reigns of four kings. This novel contains several
adult themes.
