About this author

Zoe Saadia is the author of several novels of pre-Columbian Americas.

Having researched various pre-contact cultures of this continent for more than a decade, she is convinced that it’s a shame that such a large part of history was completely overlooked, by historical fiction most of all.

Both Americas has an extremely rich, diverse, fascinating history long before this continent was discovered by other civilizations.
So her professional motto is set. America has not been discovered; not yet. Not in her novels :)

Cary You know I really like novels that involve ancient times. Caveman to Medievel. I think I Cadius, and Claudius the God are my favorites. I really need to get a copy of your rize of the Aztec books. I will check out and see if they are available through Amazon. I just can't afford a Kindle. Maybe for Christmas. I so want to just drive out of town today. I have plenty of cash and credit cards. Enough meds for two weeks. I would love to drive to the Chiricahua Mountains on the S.E. border of AZ and S.W. New Mexico. Cochise stronghold there is really cool. The mountains rise up out of the Sonoran Desert, and cause it to rain much more than the surrounding areas. So you get all these crazy rock errozion formations and oak filled canyons with pines along the top. It creates a really unique wildlife zone. Still toying with the idea of flying to Mexico. My health is just not that good though. I am not so sure it's such a good idea to go alone. I can't get anyone else to go. I probably should just buy some music equipment & play somoe Halloween parties. It's hard to keep that adventurous nature when your physically ill. I just don't know what to do. I will figure it out. Best movie Apocalypto. Cheers, Cary ; )
