A friend’s deception. A family’s dilemma.
While cataloguing looted antiquities in Brussels, archaeologist Grace Madison discovers that her daughter has vanished in France, and her son’s bride has been attacked in Switzerland. After the Madisons unearth a relic whose taproot pierces the Ancient Near East, they realize that before they can save themselves, they must rescue an old friend. If he’ll let them.
They sacrifice hearts and lives in a race against eternity on a four-thousand-year-old trail crossing three continents.
Because choosing what’s right is all that’s left.
Praise for When Camels Fly (Parched Series Book I):
“Page-turning international suspense–this writer is on her way up.”-DiAnn Mills, Christie Award winning author
“An exciting novel of suspense, intrigue, and mystery. Very nicely done.“-Paul Johnson, Readers’ Favorites
“It’s obvious from the writing that the author has spent time here.”-Ellis Shuman, Times of Israel
“The book was fantastic, and nearly impossible to set down. Highly recommended.“-Kathryn Bennett, Readers’ Favorites
“A unique, totally out in left field, never been told story. I love that.”-Every Free Chance Blog
Advance Praise for My Brothers Keepers:
“The Brothers’ Keepers, book 2 in the Parched series, delivers masterful international suspense driven by contemporary family dynamics. Light the late-night oil because you won’t want to put this book down.”-DiAnn Mills, Christy Award Winner
“I thought Horton peaked with her first novel, When Camels Fly. I’ll admit, I was wrong. The Brothers’ Keepers is magnificent! The main characters from her first novel are beautifully developed in this sequel.
This is a more accessible novel than When Camels Fly mainly because of the location — Europe. She incorporates the history of the places her characters visit, and she weaves an incredibly feasible story around these events. The story is as complex as When Camels Fly, a good thing that requires close reading, but it is well worth the effort.
I highly recommend reading When Camels Fly before this one and continuing journeying with the Madison family!-Leigh Bennett, Reader
“I am once again became enthralled by the exploits of an intelligent, older woman and her family whom I first got to meet in When Camels Fly. It’s so rare to find a heroine that the more mature amongst us can relate to on some level. I look forward to learning more about Grace, Mark, Maggie, Jeff and Becca as they become embroiled in yet another adventure after Maggie goes missing and an attempt is apparently made on Becca’s life whilst she and Jeff are honeymooning in Switzerland.“-Anne Rogers, Reader

Teddy: It’s so good of you to host one of the blog tours for my second book, THE BROTHERS’ KEEPERS. I’m looking forward to reading the thoughts of your interviewers as they share the word about this second book in the Parched series with their followers and readers. What a great way to kick off 2015!
Thanks again for your professionalism and enthusiasm about my work!

I think the international suspense would make some good reading…
Love mysteries. Thank you and Happy New Year!
Wow, this book sounds like a combination of suspense and historical fiction — must be a page-turner! I’m also impressed by the review that said “A unique, totally out in left field, never been told story…” That is not something claimed of every good read that comes out. Thanks for featuring this book and for the chance to win. Cheers & Happy 2015, Teddy Rose! — Kara S
I am just finishing When Camels Fly, and enjoying it. I would like to read the sequel.
I love the cover, St. Mark’s in Venice. This book has an intriguing plot, a suspenseful Indiana Jones.Plus it has an archaeologist as a main character. That was my dream occupation, as a child! Still wish I had taken it up.
Wonderful, fascinating and intriguing. thanks.
wow, a race against eternity is interesting…
suspense + mystery + intrigue + Europe. Sounds like a great read!

Um, yeah.) and validate the entry and win.

No worries Kara. Thanks for alerting me to it.
I was disappointed with this one. The story was just too farfetched. One moment they were getting shot and the next moment they were already jetting around the world to another location.
