What is the ULTIMATE CONTENT for writers and readers? Your HEART'S CONTENT.

Writers must always be allowed their subject, it’s said. With me it’s chiefly ancient Egyptian archaeological mystery thrillers. Why? How do authors pick their heartland writing subject? There’s no picking how authors (and readers) pick their heartland subject. When I look at fellow authors, I find one is a qualified veterinarian. A veritable zoo of famous animal books spring to mind. White Fang, Black Beauty, National Velvet, Maybe even Jaws or Moby Dick, but no, this author writes science-based techno thrillers. Another is an authority on building structures and what makes them collapse. Great, I think, I can see a thriller where an iconic Capitol building falls down trapping the president/congress. Who did it? Can special knowledge mount a rescue? Forget it. This author has his imaginative head firmly into Sword & Sorcery sagas. Why not? And me? I grew up in Zimbabwe at the edge of a game reserve and have been a Creative Director (Think ‘Mad Men’) for international advertising agencies. So naturally, I write ancient Egyptian thrillers about a witty and renegade British archaeologist named Anson Hunter and about dangers to the world from the ancient past. I am an amateur Egyptologist and I have been devouring the subject since I was about twelve years of age. The right content is your heart’s content. We each find our metaphor, our prism through which we focus the human condition. I see archaeology as a metaphor. It even applies to book characters. People are like archaeological sites, stratigraphical layers of history, their secrets waiting to be unearthed, layer by layer. Then there is the lure of buried and often forbidden treasures. Much like life. We are all in search of for some ‘divine radiance’ that will illuminate our lives. Visit my heartland subject of ancient Egypt in the following adventure thrillers.

EXCERPT. 5-star mystery adventure novel (Amazon Kindle & paperback)

"One Day I'll Tell You Something." A young boy remembers ancient Egypt, a young mother discovers adventure on a journey to Egypt with an archaeologist. New Edition. EXCERPT “He was around six when I took him on his first visit to the museum. He gawked at a withered mummy in a painted wooden mummy case. There was a sky light illuminating the Egyptian gallery and the light streaming down seemed to fall on him like a revelation. I saw tears squeeze out of his eyes.” “These are my people,’ he yelled out, making heads in the museum turn. “Sh-sh, Cooper. You’ll scare the visitors,” I said. “Do you smell that?”’ he said. I sniffed. A sweet smell hung in the air. “What is it?” “It’s them.” It was probably just the scent of a floor polish or the cleaner they use on the glass cases. But my Cooper thought differently. To him it was the memory of secret balms used in mummification. He looked in wonder at grains of dust that floated in the light from the ceiling as if mummy dust had seeped out of the mummy cases, the air-borne atoms of long dead Egyptians. He breathed it in, filling his chest. It freaked me a bit, I can tell you. But he was enraptured. I couldn’t drag him out of the place, but then he developed a tummy ache. He gets a lot of those. I’ve taken him to the doctor, but they can’t find anything. I think Cooper just gets too excited.” “And this behaviour of Cooper’s - does it continue?” the researcher encouraged me to go on. “Disturbingly, yes. A recent example. I won one of those automatic bread makers in a magazine competition, and he woke up in the morning with the yeasty warm smell of baking bread filling the air. It was still dark in the house. The aroma of baking bread seemed to electrify him. “That’s Kemet,” he said, running into my room. “That’s the smell of Kemet in the early morning, when it’s still dark.” “To Cooper it was the smell of ancient Egypt at dawn, of mud ovens and baking bread. He breathed it in so deeply he went dizzy. “When he was seven, he looked at a map of excavation sites in a book about Egypt and he began pointing at places between the marks on the map. “There are other tombs here and here..."

NEW edition. ONE DAY I’LL TELL YOU SOMETHING A child obsessed with the ancient past, a young mother who discovers adventure…“ I remember Egypt,” Cooper said gravely. “Long, long ago.” Her little boy was gorgeous, she thought, but his imagined past life could be a bit hard to take. Especially at 8.30 in the morning, when she was busy having a this-life crisis, running late for work and her eight-year old was about to miss his school bus. Then young single-mother Catherine meets a past life researcher and also a mysterious Egyptologist Simon Priestly and she and Cooper are off to Egypt on an extraordinary quest to follow a young boy’s dreams… or are they actual memories of the ancient past? What will they find and what will Catherine find as she warms to the impressive British Egyptologist as they uncover a shattering secret from Egypt’s past? Disturbing and intriguing adventure fiction with a twist of the unknown.

YOUNG/YOUNG-ADULT ANCIENT EGYPT as Roy Pond

ADULT ANCIENT EGYPT as Roy Lester Pond

Who murdered celebrated author historian Eva Whitehorn in Egypt's Temple of Hatshepsut , 'none seeing, and none hearing'?

"Quite some crime scene,' Daniel Cane thought. 'A panorama'. NEW murder mystery fiction with the 'Egyptologist Detective'.

CHAPTER 1. Panorama of a crime. At night, by floodlight, Queen Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple in Egypt looked like the backdrop for a dramatic grand opera. Not a murder.

Quite some crime scene, Daniel thought. A panorama. The floodlights made a shadowy parade of the rows of colonnades that rose in a series of terraces linked by stone ramps. A stage set within an auditorium of cliffs. A drama attended by an expectantly watchful audience of stone and desert. Daniel Cane, the Egyptologist Detective, felt his jaded professional’s eyes, accustomed to ancient Egypt’s grandeur, widen at the spectacle. Here was the setting for a modern crime, triggered by events in Egypt three thousand, five hundred years earlier… The murder of an American, a celebrated female writer and historian, strangled to death in the shadows of the columns by a rope around her neck, ‘none seeing, and none hearing,’ except for the pillared ranks of witnesses. But how and why did the murder occur?
