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.
