Why unsolved questions about The Great Library of Alexandria fueled my writing

There’s book number two⁉️
I know. It seems close and on the heels of my first novel, which is still a newborn. The thing is, once I started writing, I couldn’t stop.

Writing became cathartic to me and was a way to pass the time and escape the stresses of the world. Thus the name, “Cronos Catharsis.”

All you have is NOW.

I came up with it as part of the instrumental score “QUADRILOGY” that I created a couple of years ago. I released my debut novel in August 2023, and the novella and film series are scheduled to launch 🚀 March 2024.

It all started because of my desire and insatiable affection for Egyptology. Throughout my entire life, I went on field trips, and in fifth grade, I always wanted them to leave me at the Egyptian exhibit. I just wanted to be left alone there because I had always loved Egyptology. Things always felt unresolved or unknown in the ways of ancient Egyptians.

However, the stories surrounding the events that took place with the great library of Alexandria, which was burned during the reign of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra, still fascinated me.
