Overview

Dealing with her wounded heart from the sudden disappearance of her mother, seventeen-year-old Raven hopes for a lazy stress-free summer with her three friends, Tyler and twins Sam and Sabina. The detour of her plans arrives when she finds a strange medallion along with a puzzling message promising answers in distant lands, oddly enough, through the constellation of Orion. Frustration breeds foolishness when the four friends are unable to decipher the meaning of the medallion and decide to follow the instructions which prove true when it delivers the friends to Ancient Egypt. Believing the medallion's prophecy, Raven believes she will find her mother in this archaic time. With growing frustrations, weeks and months pass while the friends navigate daily life in the ancient city while intrigue slithers towards them. What scares Raven the most is neither the dangerous predators living in the Nile nor being caught in the middle of a murderous conspiracy to overtake the Pharaoh's throne but that she will never find her mother and that The Orion Express was a one-way ticket.

Author Information

The Orion Express is a mother-daughter collaboration which began as a simple wonderment when Lauren would view the star constellations and speculate who had looked at those stars thousands of years ago. Every winter night when she would walk her puppy, Lauren would view the Orion constellation and imagine ancient Egyptians looking at those same stars. Those reoccurring thoughts took root in her imagination and stories started to unfold.Lauren would tell these stories to her mother, Paula on their commutes to karate practices which they both achieve 2nd degree black belts in Tang Soo Do. To encourage her daughter to write, Paula had devised a plan to put forth a novel to capture those inspirations. In karate, once mother and daughter stepped on the mat they were equals. They used the same unconventional approach with their writings. Once they began writing, they were peers both equally contributing their ideas to create an ancient destination for The Orion Express.
