She's a cross between Lara Croft, Tomb Raider, and I Love Lucy. And she's the power behind my next book, Scorpion House, first in a new series of adventure/archaeology mysteries. Dr. Lacy Glass is brilliant, beautiful, and accident-prone.
She has a PhD in Botany but her specialty is plant pigments and that gets her into strange places and odd situations because, frankly, winning prizes in flower shows isn't her thing. Stalking the wild indigo is. Lacy grew up in California and currently teaches at a college in Virginia. Her research projects typically end up on the laboratory floor (see paragraph 1) She isn't clumsy, she simply doesn't plan ahead very well.
Scorpion House takes her and several colleagues to Luxor, Egypt where they are to analyze the newly discovered tomb of an 18th dynasty nobleman. One of her housemates is Dr. Paul Hannah, archaeologist and unattached hunk, who is destined to cause Lacy a lot of sleepless nights, albeit unintentionally.
Lacy says to tell you not to believe anything you read about her. Maria lies.
