About the author
Markie Madden was born August 19, 1975, in Midland, Texas. She grew up in the small town of Flushing, Michigan. While in high school, she took creative writing and was a photographer for the school newspaper. In 1993, she won the National Quill and Scroll Society award for best photo in a high school paper. She began writing her first novel, Once Upon a Western Way, while still attending school.
Markie is now married with two teenage daughters, three rescue dogs, and her horse, Athena, who is featured on the cover of her horse care guide, Keeping a Backyard Horse. She tried many times over the years to publish her novel, first on her own, and then hiring a literary agent, all without success. In early 2012, after getting her first smart phone and e-reader application, Nook, she discovered the world of self-publishing through a website called Smashwords. She finally published Once Upon a Western Way through this distributor in April, 2012.
In the late spring of 2013, Markie came down with a mysterious illness, which was ultimately diagnosed as leukemia (AML specifically). She underwent a rigorous treatment of chemotherapy, during which, at one point, her life was endangered. While she was hospitalized, an old high school friend who is also a published author reconnected with her. Since cancer and the treatment of cancer forced her out of the traditional workforce, Markie turned her attention back to the world of writing.
By December of 2014, Markie was the successful publisher of three books, her first published work, Once Upon a Western Way, now available in print as well as e-format, as well as a self-help guide to horse care, Keeping a Backyard Horse, available in print and e-format, and her cancer memoir, My Butterfly Cancer, available in print, e-format, and audiobook. Her other two will soon be available in audiobook format as well. Markie has founded Metamorph Publishing, in order to publish her own books, and she is now working with two other independent authors as well.
Currently, Markie lives in the small town of Fisk, Missouri, with her family, her dogs, and her horse. She is still writing and is working on a crime/paranormal series called The Undead Unit Series. Book one of the series, Fang and Claw, is now available. The second book of the series, Souls of the Reaper, is expected out in 2016, along with a thriller novel entitled Cured Delusions. You can find her at her website: https://metamorphpublishing.com.

This is the story of Hatshepsut, the King of Upper and Lower Egypt. AAfter the death of her husband, the King, she assumed the throne. Her daughter, Neferure, assumes the role of the King’s Great Wife because the rituals of the time required both a male and female. Although the title is in name only, Neferure is devoted to her mother. She is attracted to a boy of royal blood, Haremsat, and hopes her mother, the Pharoah, will choose him for her husband. Neferure also practices using traditional male weapon’s and is trained by the Vizier. This is very unusual, but she is a unique young woman.
Neferure has a step-brother named Thutmose who she believes plans to poison her mother and assume the title of Pharoah. He has been enticing others to join him against Hatshepsut, including members of the army. Neferure informs her mother of her suspicions and what follows is both mystical and physical.
Madden has woven a fascinating tale combining fiction and history. It is apparent she has done research in crafting this story. Her descriptions of the settings and clothing of the time period are detailed. The characters practically leap off the page. Although this story is short, it is rich in aspect, both in the present and the past. The story is compelling and comes to a satisfying conclusion.
A reader who enjoys historical stories, especially those about ancient Egypt, will love this book. In fact, it is so well written, any reader will undoubtedly find this a good read.
I have read several of the Electric Eclectic books and each has proved to be a wonderful introduction to authors that were new to me.
As a fan of Markie Madden’s Undead Unit series, I was tempted to read Liberty, and found the story a wonderful mix of fiction and well-researched history. The detailed and descriptive writing lets you visualise the setting as you follow along with the intrigue and rivalry of the Pharaohs ‘court’.
Liberty reveals another side to the authors writing, as well as her obvious love of Ancient Egypt.
The author transports the reader on a scintillating journey of intrigue. You witness sibling rivalry, plotting to seize power and the climactic conclusion. I’ve read and enjoyed several Wilbur Smith novels set in the time of the Pharaohs, Liberty is a delightful short Electric Eclectic novel designed to stimulate your taste buds. Perhaps that should read advance your reading enjoyment.
I enjoyed it, I’m sure you will too.
And an appealing cover.
