Rai Aren, co-author of Secret of the Sands



For 12,000 years a dark and deadly secret has been hidden deep below the Great Sphinx of Giza. In present day Egypt, a frightening, yet awe-inspiring story unravels as archaeologists race against time to decipher an ancient truth...

"A deep probing mystery riddled with prophecy and danger, Secret of the Sands uses Egypt and her mythology as a backdrop to delve into the meanings of life and religion." -McNally Robinson

"Rai Aren and Tavius E. have crafted a fast-paced, exciting novel overflowing with mystery and intrigue. The tension is constant. The characters fully developed. And the plot gripping. Ancient history and present day relevance are so expertly intertwined, that you might forget you are reading a work of fiction." -- Thomas Phillips, author of The Molech Prophecy

BookBuzzr is a super-cool new book marketing tool, where can you read excerpts of books, read author interviews & media mentions, and more, as well as post electronic signatures that include important links. I love it! If you are an author, I highly recommend checking it out. If you are a reader, you can 'flip' through the electronic pages provided, in much the same way you would a physical book. It's a great site, with a helpful widget that authors can download to help spread the word about their books. I have added our adventure novel, SECRET OF THE SANDS to it:

In the shadow of the Great Sphinx of Giza, two young archaeologists unearth extremely unusual artifacts over 12,000 years old, but the find is wrong - very wrong. The artifacts shouldn’t be there…they shouldn’t exist at all. The greatest discovery in human history may turn out to be the deadliest…

P.S. here is my Bookbuzzr electronic signature, the complete coding doesn't translate perfectly here on Goodreads, but the links work & you can see the book widget:
