This November marks 100 years since Tutankhamen’s tomb was discovered. It sparked massive interest in Egypt and in its ancient treasures. Egyptian style found its way into society, through such diverse things as movie theater design and black eyeliner for makeup. Everyone wanted a piece of ancient Egypt’s lure. In my novel, Where Fortune Leads, an archaeologist family is deeply invested in Egypt and its treasures. Amidst the backdrop of 1922, when the archaeological race was on, is the story of my novel, Where Fortune Leads.
