Jane Bigelow's short story "The Golden
Ruse" was published in Luxor: Gods, Grit and Glory (ISBN 13:
978-1514779378, ISBN 10: 1514779374), on August 15, 2015
by Museum Tours, and edited by Bill Petty. All the stories involve the
city of Luxor, aka Thebes, aka Waset, and always a center of events in Egyptian
history.
It has been a
successful trading voyage for the Middle Kingdom trader Nebnefer. He's about to
go home with a shipload of ebony and ivory, and a few twists of gold wire. Why
does he feel so uneasy in the great trade city of Abu, then, and why is his old
trading contact suddenly so distant? On his way home, he decides to stop for
the night in Perhathor instead of pushing for Waset. It was the wrong choice.
Jane M. H. Bigelow writes fantasy, historical
fiction, and short nonfiction. She has one novel and several short stories
published, including "Healing Pain" in the recently released Gifts
of Darkover anthology. She is currently working on too many projects
at once. Jane lives in Denver with her husband and fellow archaeology nut
Robert, and two cats.
