  32. About the Author

He stilled her hands. “We have all the time to snuggle. This is an important occasion. One we worked very hard to bring about.”

Rendor was right. And it was a lovely ceremony. Jayden looked handsome and regal and quite smitten with Aphra, his new archeologist. Kaveri shone almost as bright as the sun.

During the party afterwards, someone tapped on her shoulder. Shyla turned to face the King’s emissary.

“Are you Shyla Sun-Kissed?” he asked as if he hadn’t been avoiding her all this time.

Strange. No one had used that name in a long time. “Yes.”

He handed her a thin scroll sealed with wax.

“What’s this?”

“You’ve been summoned to appear before the King of Koraha.

Thank You

Thank you for choosing The Eyes of Tamburah, the award-winning first book of my Archives of the Invisible Sword fantasy series. The hot desert sands of the world of Koraha was inspired by my visits to the Australian Outback.

Acknowledgments

In the acknowledgements of my last book, Chasing the Shadows, I wondered if any of my readers read the acknowledgements of books. The answer was a resounding yes! And many of my readers appreciated my Acknowledgement Quiz. So in that same spirit, I give you an Acknowledgment Word Search! You will find all the names of those who have helped me make this story better, and those that provided love, support, and wine, on the next page. A gigantic THANK YOU to all of you!!
