By: Megan Easley-Walsh: Author and Writing Consultant Today, ethical considerations are reevaluating where artistic and archaeological treasures should be held. A growing popularity of returning artefacts to their origin country is a reality faced by the world of antiquities. Additionally, the presence of the Egyptian workers and the roles that they had in uncovering the treasures, not only the western financial backers, are coming into focus. Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon are the names attached to finding Tutankhamun's tomb, but they were not the sole men responsible for bringing Tutankhamun and the abundance of treasures, including much gold, to the world. Against the exciting backdrop of 1922, the novel Where Fortune Leads takes place. A family's archaeological legacy hangs in the balance, when it comes under threat. When Charles Treacher, archaeologist, presents his brother Arthur, a photographer, with the gift of a fortune cookie for his birthday, a course of action is set into motion that neither could have predicted. Questions about the past and ethical concerns arise as the family's legacy risks crumbling like the desert sands. Where Fortune Leads is the tenth historical novel from the author Megan Easley-Walsh. It is available in ebook (ASIN B07RWDGVS1) paperback (ISBN 978-0368798139) End
