      How could he have been so blind? He thought he had left his papyrus business in safe hands when he traveled to Ephesus to his father's deathbed. On his return to Egypt, Simon discovered the son he had entrusted to manage the business had embraced the Wadjet heresy and had been progressively taking over the entire business in his absence. Why had Simon had no idea what had been happening? His son had managed the papyrus works In Buto efficiently. At least he had thought so. Perhaps he should have traveled there more often. When had he changed his name to Sefu, meaning sword? Who did his son plan using it on? Now he had to undo Sefu's plot to gain even more control by marrying his brother to his daughter, a practice common in Egypt but one he did not approve of. The girl was fourteen, her uncle three times her age! Many of the workers in his warehouse where they packaged what was sent from Buto were strangers to him, and he discovered that his foreman no longer worked there. Simon's plan to transfer the business to this eldest son could no longer go ahead and his return to Ephesus… given up or significantly delayed. A faithful Jew, he had no intention of losing his life's work to the Wadjet cult. Open war with the strengthened cult would result in defeat. His fight to regain control had to be subtle, but determined. Would it succeed?

    The fact I am alive today is a miracle. The surgery for aneurysms resulted in most of my aorta having a very long graft. Three surgeons had called me called a walking time bomb. But here I am. Well and busy. I was born in Peebles, a town in the Scottish borders, but moved to Australia in 1975. I live in Perth, Western Australia. I have worked as a shop assistant, double loom weaver, trained as a Psychiatric nurse and worked as an After-care Nursing Sister in an outpatient clinic and in the community. My last job (before being bitten by the writing bug) was as a certified computer trainer. (Certificate IV in Training and Assessing). The holder of a Microsoft Master qualification in Office 2007, I enjoyed my work in a Registered Training Centre. I also had some private students and wrote manuals for them re-interpreting the jargon filled, missing steps manuals that left beginners wanting to quit. I loved the 'aha' moment when it clicked for a student, especially mature aged learners. So far two books in this series have been published. Hold the Faith, and book 2, Grow in Grace. After the death of my husband, I was unable to concentrate for long, so spent my writing time completing 'Geoff's Last Journeyings', a record for friends and family my husband's last year in the battle with Pulmonary Fibrosing. I have also kept up my blogs... Hold the Faith. Now, it is time to start work on the existing first draft of book three in the Apostle John series . Christian history fascinates me and a Bible Study on the Apostle John inspired me to set this history down. I am a practising Christian, a Sabbath keeper and member of a very supportive church.
