In the Land of Isis and Osiris
Cleopatra has disappeared from the historical record. Max and Sally lead a team of time travelers whom they've recruited from across the centuries that now includes Gaius Julius Caesar, Marcus Aurelius, Leonardo da Vinci, and the slave girls from the emperor's palace in the year 172 AD. They travel back and forth from New York in 1980 to engage the past and correct the faults in history which would change the modern world. But traveling through time is just the beginning of their adventures as they learn of the value gained in an extended family, new ideas, and what love is and can be.
This book is full of adventures through history but is primarily a story of the loss of innocence, personal growth, attraction, family, and the observations of the modern world as seen through the eyes of accomplished men and women of the classical past. It is funny, sexy, charming and heartwarming, exciting and adventurous, and just plain fun. All the books in the series are stand-alone novels.

About the author
Rebecca Branch
20 books38 followersMy name is Rebecca Branch and I live in New York City and am an architect by trade but an art historian by education. My father was an American archaeologist and my mother an Italian author and artist. I grew up in Rome and New York, attending UC Berkeley for undergraduate work and Columbia for my Ph.D. I worked as an assistant to the curator of Greco Roman arts at the Metropolitan Museum in my youth before leaving in order to earn a livable wage. I entered the design community and was the interior designer for many notable fashion companies. I also modeled through my college years and into my early thirties.
I started writing romance novels on a dare six years ago while in-between jobs.
Although sometimes placed in the erotic category, my work is far more about self-awareness, relationship building, coming of age, loss of innocence, personal development, reclamation, the culture of Italy, art and architectural history, an examination of the passage of time, food, and humor. I write as an adult to an adult audience and do not hide physical relationships behind closed doors. But what I write is loving and respectful of both genders, light and upbeat, fulfilling and satisfying. No one gets hurt, no one degraded. You should walk away from each of my books with a smile and an increased knowledge of the western world, Rome’s influence, politics, the social revolution, religion, and the inimitable wonder of a loving relationship between a good man and woman.
I work in the design field and also lecture to the architectural community on Roman architecture. I have two daughters in their mid-twenties. I've been living with a famous model/celebrity named Jessica who is my life and passion. We are about to release a book we've written together about our life since we met in 2016.

One of my Top Ten reads this year …
This is the 972nd book I have read this year and easily falls in my top ten favourite reads along with Daniel Silva, Suzanne Halliday, David Baldacci, Victoria Dougherty, Simone Leigh, Linzi Basset, Quintin Jardine, & Mark Dawson.
This is an epic tale of love, adventure, intrigue, politics, romance, family (by birth or by choice), time travel, and history woven into the now and into the future.
This tale has characters who love unconditionally, see good in all manner of things and people, and who are not tempted by “riches” and “wealth” unless they are the riches and wealth of education and thought. The historical characters brought to life here were titans in their day but have assumed the mantle of 21st Century beings - embracing what is good and right with humanity and rejecting the things that show how humankind can be without integrity and lacking in consideration for others.
I really enjoyed reading this book, I laughed, I cried, I was reminded of much that I had studied over 30 years ago about Roman and Egyptian history. The book spoke to me of all we should be grateful for.
Each book in this series has told a different story - linked together by the wonderful characters, old and new, who inhabit the pages. Thanks for sharing your writing with the world, Rebecca.
