"The Ephesian Artifacts" is a blend of history, action and adventure featuring the death of Cleopatra, the fall of Saigon, and the search for artifacts hidden beneath the sands of the ancient city of Ephesus, Turkey. The race for the priceless artifacts pits the Black Pope ( head of the Jesuits) against modern-day Amazons and artifact seekers from Austria and the United States. The bones of the Virgin Mary, the Artemis star, and the writings of Jesus are believed to have been hidden centuries ago in Ephesus, which is visited by over a million tourists each year. Praise for The Ephesian Artifacts: "...It kept me enthralled...particularly the Knights Templar and the various machinations of the Roman Catholic Church in relation to its inception and early history....smooth, a nice balance of detail and rumination....The narrative carried me, the story was complex and provided a wonderful jigsaw puzzle on an imaginary table I found hard to leave....I would love to congratulate the writer for a work that has been so carefully conceived and structured and created." Dan Odegard, writer, agent, editor, consultant, bookseller and publisher.
