About the Author Michele Lang Buchanan grew up in Los Alamos, NM, as her father was a scientist with the Manhattan Project. She enjoyed a fulfilling career as a special education teacher for the Albuquerque Public Schools, working mostly with behavior disordered and incarcerated students. After retiring, she immersed herself in learning to play the Celtic harp, and traveled the Renfaire and Celtic festival circuit with her hand-made costumes. That small business, called “Vestments,” kept her very busy for another ten years. Michele delivers lectures on Scottish history, harp history, and performs with “Celtic Singers of NM.” She lives in Albuquerque with her husband Tom, and performs with harp for hospice, at Celtic festivals and various fairs. As a fiber artist, she has won acclaim for embroidery, quilts, and needlework of all types. Perhaps it’s a love affair with strings!

Her amazingly precise descriptions of the surroundings and useage of the language nuances from one time period and location to another made me feel as if I was there, smelling the incense in ancient Egyptian palaces, to feeling the cold wind buffeting my face on the voyages north. Following the inadvertent clues left by Scota and the discovery of the clues by archaeologists, the author has traced the steps of this Egyptian princess to "Scota's-land".

Dowling Our story begins in ancient Egypt, around 353 BCE, where a beautiful, red-haired, harp-playing princess is faced with a dilemma: Should she bow to custom and marry her own father, the pharaoh Nekhtenebef, or take a vow of chastity and spend her life as a temple priestess?Enter a twist of fate, which sends our heroine, princess Scota Nefaru-Selkis, on an amazing adventure east up the Mediterranean and then north to Spain and, eventually, Ireland and Scotland. Scota brings with her a fabulous stone, on which she sits in her role as Queen of the new lands, and which has magical and mystical ties to her Egyptian heritage.Fast forward to 1996, where an avid red-haired Egyptologist, Donald Cameron, is digging for Middle Eastern artifacts in Spain, accompanied by Masoud and Kemi, brother and sister, who soon reveal themselves to be more interested in what price any artifacts they find will bring than what their history is. Then Cameron finds a pair of scrolls that seem to confirm that a mighty Egyptian Queen once passed this way, bringing with her a stone of power.Is this the Stone of Scone (AKA the Stone of Destiny) of Scottish history and pride? (You may remember that this Stone was also called the Coronation Stone by the English. It was taken in 1296 from Scotland by Edward I and placed in Westminster Abbey, under the chair where new English monarchs would sit. In 1996, the Stone was returned to Scotland and sits to this day in Edinburgh Castle.) Did an “invasion” of Scotland and Ireland indeed take place when travelers from the Middle East arrived at the cold Celtic shores of the North? Does the name “Scotland” come from “Scota”? Is the Blarney Stone actually a piece of Scota’s Stone?Part thriller, part adventure story, part historical fiction, this lively tale by Michele Buchanan shimmers with tantalizing details of both past and present times. She certainly knows her stuff about ancient Egypt and long-ago Scotland—there’s even a glossary of terms that illustrates how many linguistic connections there are between the peoples of the Middle East and the European North.Do not be put off by the size of this book: It’s a real page turner, one you won’t want to put down.
