Available now from Amazon Notes: I'm not entirely sure where this one came from. I wrote The Egyptian Falcon because I love the old noir thrillers of the 30s and 40s. I had a blast writing it and the revelation that Erimem had accidentally a 1940s movie star. That was intended as a one-time only trip to 1940s Hollywood, but the truth is, I really liked the dynamic of having her in that environment. At the end of the first Hollywood book I had mentioned the name of her second movie... they were low-budget B-movies but still... a movie star is a movie star. That sequel title gave us the spark for the basics of the story... and if she was revisiting Hollywood, could she revisit other aspects of previous adventures? That really brought the whole thing together. But... none of it could be a boring retread, it had to offer something different for those returns. We had a lot of fun with this one. And it was written in 2020, when we were us being worn down by Covid and lockdowns, so we could all use a bit of fun that year.
