Pyramid Scheme is the story of Matt, who goes to Egypt with his dad. Matt's full of ideas about mummies and pyramids, even though Dad warns him this is a business trip. And, guess what; it is a business trip. Dad is busy all day and Matt gets bored. Finally, he gets permission to accompany Tamir, his dad's business contact's son, to the pyramids, where he works as a guide. It's not long before he's involved in a mystery about missing canopic jars and the illegal antiques trade.
Matt is observant and sensible. He exposes the thief, but there are no heroics. Things are handled through the proper channels. This is a graphic novel, told in dialogue and present-tense captions. I remember researching pyramids, although I'd already picked up a bit about them from reading, and I later used some of the information is Ramses Rat and the Great Cat, Bastet and, apparently, a book called Pyramids.

The goal for 2017 is to write a post a day profiling the background behind one of my books; how it came to be written, what it's about, and any things of note that happened along the way. If you're an author, an aspiring author, a reader or just someone who enjoys windows into worlds, you might find this fun. The books are not in any special order, but will be assigned approximate dates, and pictures, where they exist. If you enjoyed a post, or want to ask about any of my books or my manuscript assessment service.
