Help support indie efforts & fellow Canadians by ordering from Red Tuque and adding our Indiana-Jones style adventure novel to your shelves. Secret of the Sands has recently undergone an upgrade, so it will be even more polished & awesome than ever! The new version should be available in early May.

Who would love it? Secret of the Sands is intended for both young adult & adult audiences, and appeals to people who love National Treasure, The Mummy movies, and Indiana Jones (it even has shades of The Chronicles of Narnia & The Golden Compass in it), readers who love suspense, adventure, alternative historical fiction, speculative sci-fi, unique mystery tales, and those who are fascinated by ancient Egypt and the enigmatic Great Sphinx of Giza…covers a lot of people, doesn't it?! That was the idea ;)

Happy reading always, my friends!

In the shadow of the Great Sphinx of Giza, two young archaeologists unearth extremely unusual artifacts dating over 12,000 years old. Not only could this change everything we thought we knew about Ancient Egypt, but the exhilarating find is wrong - very wrong. The artifacts shouldn't be there...they shouldn't even exist at all. The greatest discovery in human history may also turn out to be the deadliest...

Lost City of Gold: new archaeology adventure story by Rai Aren

G'day people of Goodreads!

I thought I'd share my latest archaeology adventure story with you. It's a short novel called Lost City of Gold and it's the first story in my new Ancient Quest Mystery series. Here's a little more about the story:

A dangerous adventure beckons deep in the Amazon jungle…

Reckless treasure-hunter Rick Braeden sets out into the uncharted reaches of the Amazon jungle in a dangerous search of the fabled Lost City of Gold. It’s a quest for an ancient city shrouded in mystery that he believes will place him in the history books and bring him all of the riches and redemption that have eluded him. He also hopes to succeed where more than one hundred others, who were either lost or died in the attempt, have failed. As he embarks on his journey something or someone deep in the jungle waits and watches…

Here's the link on Amazon:

I hope you'll check it out and add it to your bookshelves! If you enjoy the story, I'd welcome a review. Feel free to drop me a line as well if you'd like to share your feedback. This is my first short work (it's approx. 25,000 words in length), and I had a lot of fun writing it :)

Happy reading always!

The Secret of the Sands Trilogy launches wide!

Hi Goodreads peeps,

I hope 2017 is turning out to be a very good year for you and that you're finding lots of good books to read :)

I’ve been really busy over the last two to three months – one of the things I’ve been working on is launching the books of The Secret of the Sands Trilogy across all retail platforms, instead of only having a limited presence online. I’ve received a lot of requests to have the books made more widely available, so it’s been something I’ve wanted to do for quite some time now.

I’m delighted that the books are available across a wide array of digital stores – see the links below. The trilogy box set is also on SALE at a discount of over 40% OFF the cost of the individual books!

From the Great Sphinx to Petra to the Great Pyramid, journey on this epic archaeology adventure, weaving between the past and the present, to uncover hidden ancient secrets and fascinating mysteries about a long lost civilization…

Click here to get the trilogy on Apple, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Indigo and more.
