Whether in the pages of THE MAMMOTH HUNTERS, an epic of survival in the ice age of 30,000 years ago; the mystery of solving A FIRST MURDER in the Ancient Egypt of Ramesses II; the saga of THE ODIN LAND SAGA in the more recent history of the New World; or discovering stolen pirate plunder in THE GOLDEN MAN, the reader is magically transported to long-lost cultures, becoming witness to endless chronicles and breath-taking events. The exciting short stories and novellas in this collection offer the chance to grab a little knowledge of history as well as enjoying the adventure of the past. Fascinating, intriguing and not to be missed!

Autorenporträt

Paul Morrison, a retired museologist, has also been a writer for most of his life. "I cannot remember a time when I was not writing, even when I was five or six years old. I grew up with books such as TREASURE ISLAND, 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA and THE TIME MACHINE these and the many other books which I read in my early years fed my imagination, a voracious imagination transporting me to faraway places, other worlds and to other times in both the recent and the more distant past..." Many of these worlds and places are visited in the novels and short story collections he has written.

Besides a love of fiction, Paul also reads widely on ancient history and archaeology. "I am particularly interested in Ancient Egypt, mainly Old Kingdom Egypt during the age of the pyramid builders. I have always been intrigued as to how the pyramids were built and also about the lives of the pharaohs and the workers who constructed the pyramids. There were many questions filling my mind, but few if any answers." This inquiring interest led to the GIZA TRILOGY books, THE PHARAOH, THE SPHINX and THE THREE QUEENS, a monumental work of well-researched fiction set against the backdrop of the three pyramids on the Giza Plateau. Together, with their associated books, THE DIVINE LIGHT, ETERNAL EGYPT (Supplement to the Giza Trilogy), and SECRET OF THE PYRAMID, these books total more than 1.3 million words! Other books written by Paul cover a wide range of subjects including historical fiction, science fiction, ghost and detective stories as well as many other genres.

Paul currently lives in Hobart, Tasmania with his wife in a house overlooking the Derwent River. "The magnificent views of Hobart and Mount Wellington inspire me in my writings but the most important inspiration is my wife, Helena."
