Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
With her debut novel The Curse of Nefertiti, Valley author Ratcliff is doing for mummies what Stephenie Meyers did for vamps. Kinda. Nefertiti proposes that the ancient Egyptian queen has been reincarnated as a modern Phoenician living right here in the Valley of the Sun. She’s cute and hip and troubled even more than your typical modern youth, because she’s being plagued by a series of nightmarish visions coaxing her into returning to her ancient past.
