Not to be confused with the previously mentioned article, "Ground-penetrating radar survey at the pyramid complex of Senwosret III at Dahshur, Egypt, 2008: search for the lost boat of a Pharaoh" can be found in the March 2010 issue the Journal of Archaeological Science. The abstract is available here.

"An Exploratory Geophysical Survey at the Pyramid Complex of Senwosret III at Dahshur, Egypt, in Search of Boats," which discusses fieldwork performed by my coauthors in 2007, appears in the September 2009 issue of the International Journal of Nautical Archaeology. The abstract is available here.

The photo galleries are slowly going up, after a fashion. I have put up a "sampler" temporary gallery and a selection of photographs from the Egyptian site of Mo'alla, setting of my 2004 historical fantasy novelette, "Ankhtifi the Brave is dying."

The jurors of the "Up Against the Wall" show at the Harlow Gallery (Michael Hudak, Judith Herman, and Kelly Herlihy) have bestowed upon "Trouble on the Tracks" an award as the show's "Most Alarming Situation."

No, this wasn't an April Fools' Day joke! I came upon this scene in July of 2007. "Trouble on the Tracks" is featured in "Up Against the Wall: Everyday Humor in Art," a juried show at the Harlow Gallery on Water Street in Hallowell, Maine, 3-24 April 2009. Prints (11x14 or 8x10) are available, either matted or unmatted. Contact me for details.

My latest anthology, Otherworldly Maine, published by Down East Books, continues to garner good reviews. Check out the anthology home page for the latest praise--and not to mention the complete table of contents, to see what authors have been generating all the buzz! (Hint: Mark Twain, Elizabeth Hand, Jack Chalker, Edgar Pangborn, Melanie Tem, Gardner Dozois, Greg Feeley... and more!) If the humble editor may say so herself, it's a great holiday gift for those who love Maine or, quite frankly, for anyone who appreciates good fantasy, science fiction, and horror. (And don't just take my word for it. Check out the reviews.)

About Me

I am a freelance writer, editor, photographer, and consultant with graduate degrees in Egyptology and nautical archaeology. As you'll discover when you learn more about my fiction, Egyptology deeply informs the stories I write, and the use of ancient Egypt as a source of inspiration in modern times--whether for novelists, architects, decorative arists, poets, or philosophers--is a particular interest of mine.
