A possible Walter & Eleanor Story
Sekmet was the ancient Guardian of the West for the kingdoms of the Nile, but on the other side of the Dark Sahara, another kingdom stood as a bulwark against the Old Ones.

A Possible Walter & Eleanor Story…
Something stirs in the rainforest beyond the walls of the abandoned Prince of Beira Fortress. Alligatormen stalk the Guaporé river. An ancient secret awakes to a new world – and it may not like what it finds.

Possible future novel…
Was it Miss Scarlet in the Library? Lady Peacock in the Garden? Col. Vansittart in the Grand Hall? Walter? Eleanor?
Professor Plums Picked In Summer summoned them here because he had discovered something that could shake the foundations of Seven Canals culture. The storm trapped them inside the estate. Now he lies dead and the only people still alive are beyond suspicion.

Possible future story…
Invited to Mars as honored guests of Emperor John Graves, Walter and Eleanor Gresham expect diplomacy, celebration, and reunion with Sir Frederick Vansittart—the explorer who helped discover Mars and the man who raised Eleanor as his own daughter despite a lifetime of personal heartbreak.
Instead, they are entrusted with the Empire’s greatest secret.
Hidden beneath the sands of the Northern Sea Basin lies a forgotten city that should not exist—a city whose ruins threaten everything Mars believes about its own origins. As Walter, Eleanor, Graves, and Vansittart uncover evidence of a lost civilization built on liberty rather than tyranny, they awaken forces determined to keep the truth buried forever. Guided by mysterious voices, agents of the Cult of the First Mother unleash ancient weapons and relentless assassins to erase the past before it can reshape the future.
To preserve the greatest archaeological discovery in Martian history, four friends must confront a conspiracy thousands of years in the making—and prove that truth is worth any sacrifice.
