Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:

Hold on to your seat!
This is a fast paced, action-packed romantic adventure.

Journey to the land of the Pharaohs in this lighthearted humorous tale, where the search for lost treasure digs up more than a little danger.

In the year 1863, a time when the whole world was seeking Egypt’s secrets, an ancient map, leading to the greatest treasure known to man, resurfaces. As luck would have it, Lord Alecsian Brighton wins the mottled old scrap of parchment in one of London’s most notorious gaming hells, along with its ominous curse.

Despite the allure of treasure, Alec has no real interest in gallivanting across the Egyptian countryside in order to find it. He isn’t even persuaded by his friend and cohort, Samuel’s enthusiastic zeal. It’s only his mother’s escalating interest in his marital status that gives an extended vacation sudden appeal.

The mysteries unfold as tantalizing clues sweep us across two continents, from wild runaway carriage rides, to action packed chase scenes through the streets of Alexandria. When our lost lords are captured by Bedouin tribesmen, Samuel barters for their freedom. It seems like the perfect solution… marrying Alec off to the Plague of Egypt… and that is only the beginning!

This book explores the wonders of Egypt, where the mysteries hidden within the pyramids and temples which have tantalized us for two thousand years are finally revealed. Discover the answer to one of the greatest mysteries of the ancient world, the origins of the Sphinx, as well as several hieroglyphic symbols which have remained either misidentified or unknown altogether… This book will not only amaze the world, but Egyptology will never be the same.

But that’s not all… there is more!
Look for more exciting adventures from Barbara Ivie Green that explore the wonders of the ancient world.

Andrew Wrangles has a decision to make. His best friend Sothum, a philosophical and financial genius, has just died and left him a choice in his will: ten million dollars or a sealed envelope.

Andrew’s wife Cheryl doesn’t see this as much of a choice. She wants Andrew to take the money, and what little patience she has for his speculating about what could be worth more than ten million dollars is wearing thin very quickly.

But as Andrew digs deeper into the secret life that Sothum lived, he finds more questions than answers. Does the envelope contain the fate of a vanished mutual friend? The answer to a terrible cosmic riddle? The confession to a crime? Is Sothum just playing a final private joke? Or has Andrew become a pawn in a game–a game that Sothum died playing against a bigger opponent than Andrew can imagine?

Your Unique Kindle eMail Address

March 23, 2012 by Michael Gallagher

I’ve been traveling with work again this week for a conference, and I’m about ready to return home – here I am outside of Miami, Florida during the same time when a lot of colleges and universities are on spring break. My co-workers and I have been joking around with the thought about 25 years ago, we would have given just about anything to be here at this time of year!

Here’s something I think is pretty neat – I’m about to head down to our breakfast and Dave Barry, the Pulitzer Prize winner and humor columnist is our breakfast speaker. I’ve heard him speak before, and he has to be one of the funniest guys I’ve heard. So, if you hear a loud chuckle coming from South Florida, it’s probably me!

Sitting in the hotel room, I realized I haven’t sent out a tip lately…all of the tips are also located on the website: just point your web browser to www.fkbooksandtips.com and click on the “Kindle Tip” link on the right-hand side of the web page. Here’s a question I receive a few times per month regarding your unique Kindle email address:

I have a kindle E-mail address, but where is it? How do I get to it?

This is addressed in a section of my Kindle book, “Kindle Tips, Tricks, and Shortcuts,” and here is what I had to say in that section:

You may already know, or maybe you don’t, each registered Kindle owner has their own unique youname@kindle.com email address, where you and others that you grant permission to beforehand can email material directly to your Kindle. This could come in handy for sending Word documents, etc. from work for the “gotta read it” on the plane, but you can also use it as a method to transfer books to your Kindle.

One word of caution, however: unless you are using the WiFi application vs. the 3G cellular, Amazon will charge the Kindle account holder for each document emailed; I am not putting the price in here as it has changed a few times since 2008 (and I have no idea what they are charging now). While these charges may not seem like much they can add up over time.

If you do not know your unique @kindle.com email address, it’s easy to find out: log into you Amazon.com account, and click on the “Manage your Kindle” link located at the top of the page. Underneath the “Your Kindle(s)” section will list each of the Kindles registered to your account as well as the unique @kindle.com email address to send material to each particular Kindle. If you do not like the email address assigned to you, experiment with it and find one you do like – the Amazon server will let you know if that unique @kindle.com email address is available to use.

I mentioned earlier you can have others you grant permission in advance to send material to your Kindle; if you scroll down on the same page that lists out your Kindle email addresses, you will also see the pre-authorized email addresses allowed. I would exercise caution with who you put on there, or the next thing you know your spouse or significant other will use that as a tool to send you reminders of chores to do, errands to run, or other emails!

Hope that helps, and have a great weekend-

Michael
