Asia Adventure

Lulu should never have let Maligno get away. Corrupt souls are escaping the Underworld in droves, unrest is plaguing the Middleworld, and factions are pitting gods in the Upperworld against each other. Nothing Lulu, Bart, and Kitty can't handle, right? Then Lulu finds outs that the Maligno intends to awaken the king of destruction, the primordial serpent god Ulilang Kaluluwa, in order to control the god's power with the Sacred Niyog of legend—a powerful and ancient magical artifact that has been broken in three and kept hidden by the Salamangkeros of the past.

Riki Maddox is not your average tomb-raiding treasure hunter. Her targets are carefully chosen to wound her father’s killers, the Japanese Yakuza. Working for the Department of Homeland Security, Special Agent Dallas Landry is a rare breed. He had a perfect success rate recovering stolen art and antiquities—until he came up against a menace known as Riki Maddox. The two will cross paths once again in Australia—on a quest for the legendary Phantom Pearl, a priceless mammoth tusk carved by 15th century monks.

Join me, the author, and my friend Bebe for a wild adventure in the Himalayan mountains of Ladakh, North India. On the way, we stop in Delhi, where the sights, sounds, and smells send my mind in a whirl. A family of four rides by, balanced precariously on a scooter. Bone thin dogs search every nook and cranny for food. A man who manufactures silk and sells it all over the world reveals the finest cream-colored silk I have ever seen - so light in weight and fine in texture I can barely feel it, as if an eiderdown goose feather floats by.
