title: The Lost Spells of Thoth: Book One: Setne's Tale
author: Clare T Moore
description: Clare Moore is slowly turning to chalk due to her many years before the blackboard. She enjoys a good cup of tepid coffee lightly sprinkled with chalk dust. She has always enjoyed writing because it allows her to talk out loud in her characters' voices without having people think she is insane. With enough time and coffee she has managed to write several novels. The adventures of Healdon, Calli and Jackson will continue in the second book of the Thoth Trilogy, which will be available in 2011.
