I quickly put fingers to the keyboard and the story came together in two weeks. I woke up every morning enthusiastic to get to the keyboard anticipating what direction the story went into, the twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat. I really enjoyed writing this story, I hope you enjoyed it too.
The Isis Series
Isis: Trial of the Goddess
Crime and Punishment in the realm of the Egyptian Gods.
For the first time since the trial of the evil god Seth, The Court of the Elders is brought to order. Ra, Chief Justice of the Elders has issued a warrant for the arrest of Isis, the long-lost daughter of Osiris. Teleported from the remains of her North Carolina home, she’s brought to justice for allowing hatred in her heart and forsaking her heritage to worship another God, crimes punishable by death.
Grieving the tragic loss of her family and dealing with the shocking revelation that she’s a goddess, Isis has no idea how to defend herself in the Court of the Elders. Born of a mortal woman and raised in human culture, Isis is about to be taken advantage of by Ra when Queen Isis intervenes. Acting as her counsel, the Queen helps the young goddess adjust to the culture of New Heliopolis and plan a defense for court in the realm of the gods. Will the gods offer her a second chance to be redeemed? Or will she be judged to suffer the same fate as Seth?

Osiris and Queen Isis reunite with his long-lost child to begin the difficult process of establishing a familial relationship.

However, Seth's herald E'steem lurks in the shadows offering the young goddess freedom for a price.
