The Scythians, an Eurasian population, played a huge role in the Silk Road with their desirable, delicate metalwork, and the Sogdian merchants’ impact on history is only now beginning to come to light. This book, in part, is dedicated to Scythian Empires by Andrew Bird. Have a listen and buckle up for an epic second adventure, coming soon!

Smithsonian Institute (This is a really cool, interactive exhibit of the Sogdians on the Silk Road.)
About the Author
Unlike her namesake of medieval infamy, Heloise doesn’t intend to have her midlife crisis in a nunnery. She’d much rather drink espresso martinis and chant in fairy rings while wearing socially questionable clothing.

In her other pen names, Heloise writes romance, nonfiction, and epic fantasy, all with tinges of the ancient world thanks to dual degrees in archaeology and Classics. She splits her time between St. Louis and Chicago with her husband, two kids, and two cats, but is actively plotting how to bring in a puppy.
