Erasing history
Mild spoilers
So tragic. Hard enough to be a goddess in a world that no longer has faith in you, but to have someone actively trying to erase you from existence? Sera aka Serket left home long ago when her powers wained and the world moved on now she lives a simple life as a veterinary nurse and heals animals. When a jackal shows up out of nowhere she nurses him back to health only to find he’s not a jackal but Sed a minor god who’s been looking for her. Now they’re on a journey to save a god, protect Sera and find the culprit of both egregious crimes.
Very good story. I enjoy the blend of Ancient Egyptian and the modern world. Interesting to see how gods might adapt to the world and how it’s moved on. A bit of something for everyone action, mystery, history, romance.

Poison and love
Love it! I was not aware there was a goddess of scorpions… so cool! Scorpions and healing don’t necessarily go together but this is cool. Serket is a healer working with animals and feeling like she’s fading. Sed comes out of nowhere and ends up her back to Egypt to help with a dire situation. They visit her temples and the drama begins.. a struggle ends with the culprit secured, and one of her temples damaged severely. Back in Egypt they help save Osiris and start a new life!
Forgotten Gods Book 1
All Heart. I love that the goddess of scorpions is also the goddess of medicine and healing. It seems so contradictory and finding her working in a vet’s clinic is poetic. When jackal minor god of kingship and protection, Sed finds her for help just starts the process of sweetness. It’s a feel good story that makes me want to smile. I love how the story circles back to the horoscopes.
