Hey all! I meant to do this weeks ago, but my boss is a slave-driver. And since my boss is basically me, I don't get to hide from him. Often. I'm Paul. I'm a Dr of Egyptian archaeology and anthropology, so it'll probably be obvious where my main involvement was directed (a certain pharaoh-themed-femme-fatale). Will kindly suggested the moniker of 'Dr Hawkman', but I'm more of a Moon Knight man, if truth be told. I also had the honour of reading MSCSI as it was produced. Will was storming his rather magnificent brain about it the first time we met, and over a number of subsequent cocktails we chatted about all things Gloria, including Urby's music taste...No, I'm not telling. And even though the story has morphed and changed after Team Cat was assembled and the fine ladies made this tale their own, I've been reticent to get too involved in the convos here as I don't want to drop any spoilers and can't engage in the 'what if's' convincingly! However, if anybody has any questions regarding the Egyptology, or, particularly, the Afrocentrism referenced in this exceedingly, painstakingly-researched and well-considered story, then do hit me up. You can find me here (I'll do my best to check in when I can) or over on Twitter if you want to get the world involved, at @doc_Harrison. Nice to meet you all, I've had some great chats with a few of you already, and I love how the book is turning out. Thanks for reading! P

Hi there! I'm Sophie (as you can probably tell from the user-name!) Wow, Egyptology sounds really interesting, I don't know loads about it myself (does knowing all the lyrics to 'Walk like an Egyptian' by the Bangles counts?) but some of the stuff I've read sounds pretty cool Really nice to meet you

Nice to see you on here, finally! Will's altogether too good at not spoiling anything so maybe we need someone to shake things up...
