Excerpt:
Hat-Shep-Sut prepares for her ordeal.
I’m as strong as any woman in my family, she tells herself. Today I must prove it. After today no one will doubt that Pharaoh Maat-Ka-Re Hat-Shep-Sut is sole ruler over the Two-Lands. And no defiance of Pharaoh will go unpunished!
Hat-Shep-Sut plans great changes for the Two-Lands. Pen-Nek-Heb’s predictions of a new epoch inspire her to initiate new traditions and new ideas. The new epoch predicted by Iunu’s stargazers will be Hat-Shep-Sut’s epoch____ the time when women rise up and endmale domination. And the foremost of distinguished women, intends to usher in the new epoch by exercising more control over her well intentioned but common-thinking Senen-Mut.
Reviews:
Consort of the Female Pharaoh
transcends all genres [and] does not interfere with the cadence of tone or authenticity of the story of Egypt’s female Pharaoh, Hat-Shep-Sut. Stovall’s ability to capture then to elevate the politics of Egypt’s 18th Dynasty in itself is a noteworthy feat …. Then Stovall delves into that power and grabs onto its volatility and nuances to move the story of Egypt’s female Pharaoh’s rise to power …. [Consort of the Female Pharaoh] is brilliant, creative and bold. Readers will be more than satisfied; they will be pleasantly overwhelmed.

THE IDUMEAN COVENANT: A Novel of the Fall of Jerusalem
In a time of religious upheaval and civil war, in a country where men of different faiths can never be brothers, three slaves must transcend their social class in order to keep a date with destiny.
It is the time of the zealot, where religious fervor has led the southern region of Israel, Judea, to rise up in insurrection against Rome. Titus Flavius Josephus and Titus Flavius Vespasian, are Roman leaders who share a hunger in control for their nation. They are unlikely allies in a battle for Roman supremacy yet bitter enemies for the heart of a woman. But this woman is not Roman. She is a slave of the same resistance that this alliance is sworn to annihilate!
The Idumean Covenant becomes a locomotive taking a reader on a historical adventure of cynical plots, unconventional alliances and seemingly impossible romance by situating the most powerful men of the Roman Empire against each other.
Death, destruction and the persecution of an entire nation at the hands of the Roman army set the stage in this revealing novel about the mysteries of Jerusalem. Now Available $25.95 ISBN 978-0-9716691-3-0
