Museum curator Catrina Dauvergne knew the earthquakes could not be her fault. But the beheaded bodies and priceless artifacts revealed by the cracks in the earth were her fate to find.

Her Kind of TroubleHer Kind of Trouble
November 2004

When it comes to my enemies, the men who fear the goddess grails, I'm more than happy to encourage their change of leadership!  But since I'm Magdalene Sanger, Grailkeeper, my first goal is still rescuing lost goddess chalices. 

I can't pass up the chance to join an archeologist friend (who may be more of a friend) in exploring the underwater palace of Cleopatra in Alexandria, Egypt.  Before I can say "Isis Grail," I'm being endangered by sabotage of the expedition, threatened by local crime lords, and involved in an international custody dispute.  

All that and romantic troubles too?  Even in Egypt, the power of the goddess carries intense consequences...

The Grail Keepers:  Going for the Grail with the Goddess on their Side.

AKA GoddessA.K.A. Goddess

2005 RITA© Finalist for Best Novel with Strong Romantic Elements

Magdalene Sanger comes from a long line of strong women dating beyond the Dark Ages, and her legacy--to protect hidden goddess grails--takes woman power to whole new levels.  When she encounters a mysterious society out to destroy the legendary chalices, Maggi must cross Europe to uncover the Melusine Grail before they do...even if that means drinking of the ultimate betrayal.

This wasn’t in my job description…

Reporting a break-in, avoiding my overprotective ex-lover, dodging dangerous men out to kill me… not exactly a typical day for a comparative mythology professor.  So how did I, Magdalene Sanger, get mixed up in all this?

It started with a family legend that connects me to a goddess and charges me with recovering the grail she hid away ages ago.  Apparently, some powerful people heard the story and are bent on destroying the grail at any cost—including my life!  Now I have to find it before the enemy closes in….

The Grail Keepers:  Going for the Grail with the Goddess on their Side.
