The past and present collide when a tenacious reporter seeks information on an eleventh century magician…and uncovers more than she bargained for.
In 1939, archaeologists uncovered a 900-year-old tomb at the Northern Arizona site called Ridge Ruin. The man, bedecked in fine turquoise jewelry and intricate bead work, was surrounded by hundreds of extraordinary funerary objects, including wooden swords with handles carved into animal hooves and human hands. The Hopi workers stepped back from the grave, knowing what the Moochiwimi sticks meant. This man was a magician.
Sixty-five years later, investigative reporter Kate Butler discovers evidence that The Magician looked notably different from those who buried him. Her quest to discover The Magicianโs origin carries her back to a time when the high desert world was shattered by the birth of a volcano and into the present-day dangers of archaeological looting where black market sales of antiquities can lead to murder.
“The authorโs ability to interweave the past and the present was masterful. The characters were complex and interesting, especially with the underlying theme of rethinking the history of worldly human migration. I saw myself in the book, through both Kate and Kaya, through the accurate representation of the balance women face between their passions, society and partnership. Without giving away the ending, the emotions I experienced in the last chapters were ones rarely felt when finishing other books. A real page turner and I am wondering when the movie is going to be made!” – Alicia Williams Goodreads
โThe story is very well-paced, reaching a page-turning, action-packed climax to the end. This story has all the elements of a great suspense drama centered around a historical mystery.” – Heidi Slowinski heidislowinski.com

Sharks are nothing compared to being stuck in a dark, watery tube 100 feet below the surface of the sea.
A recent story in the news explained the plight of seven gold miners in Laos who were trapped 780 feet underground following monsoon rains that flooded a narrow, twisting cave system. With the help of a multi-national group of rescue divers five men were saved. Two remain missing.
The video is harrowing. Itโs hard to imagine anyone getting in or out of those tight, rocky spaces. And if youโre one of the 12.5% of people worldwide who suffer from claustrophobia, the images are difficult to watch.
While claustrophobia rarely goes away on its own, it can improve. One treatment is called exposure therapy, which slowly subjects a sufferer to enclosed spaces in order to retrain their brainโs fear response. This process is generally done under the supervision of a doctor.
Hereโs where Iโll admit I used to be claustrophobic. And though the situation was unplanned and there was no physician on hand at the time, exposure therapy was the cure.
Hereโs what happened.
I was on a scuba diving trip, and I listened as the the dive master explained about the limestone tube we would encounter 100 feet down. The tube was optional, so I planned to avoided it. And yet, when I dropped to the ocean floor and watched another diverโs fins disappear into the darkness, I paused. The cave opening was not much wider than my wingspan and perhaps three-feet tall. It looked so small and dark, but then I saw a light flickering inside and, without thinking, I swam to the opening and ducked inside.
White sand flowed along the cave floor. I saw fins in front of me and followed. Then, suddenly, the fins and light vanished, leaving me in total darkness.
I stopped abruptly and tried backing out, but my tank got caught on the top of the tube. The contact was slight, but was enough to make me sick to my stomach. I dropped to the sandy floor in an effort to calm myself. Then I panicked and started sucking air, which was bad. The compressed air in a scuba tank is used up quickly on a deep dive. If I didnโt move forward soon, I would drown.
I raised my head but could see nothing. Then, I dug both hands into the sand and started inching forward. The tube descended beneath the sea floor on an angle, pulling me deeper as I went. I chastised myself for not bringing a light. And for going in without another diver. I continued inching forward. How long was the tunnel? Why had I not asked? The questions swirled. I was tempted to reach to the sides of that rocky tube to see how wide it was, but was afraid to know the answer.
Sometime later, a soothing turquoise light glowed from a jagged crack in the ceiling. I thought, for a moment, that perhaps Iโd died. Then, I rounded a bend and was graced with an opening where bright light danced on the white sand floor, illuminating walls that were startling close. I kicked hard, exited, and made it to the surface without running out of air.
Later, after a hot shower and a strong, grown-up beverage or two, I thought about how lucky I was to have made it out of that tube. What I didnโt realize at the time was that I’d been cured, because what could be more claustrophobic than being stuck in a small, dark, watery hole 100 feet below the surface of the ocean? After that, an MRI machine was a piece of cake.
