Longuet, Hazel: - "Hazel Longuet is the author of the House of Scarabs series, mythological action thrillers that follow a trio thrown together by a heritage passed down their family trees for over 3,000 years. A passionate reader, Hazel's first love was always writing, and an unexpected illness enabled her to start writing the first book in her series, House of Scarabs. She draws from her varied life experiences to frame much of her writing.Hazel Longuet's survived a plane crash, a revolution, and even nearly drowned twice - so, to say she's accident-prone is an understatement! A gypsy at heart, Hazel loves to travel. She has lived or worked in Bolivia, Colombia, Egypt, Dubai, and Sweden and has travelled to every continent except Australia. She was raised on the grounds of Longleat, an English Elizabethan stately home, where she cleaned out lions' cages and guided tourists around areas of the house.As an international business consultant, she was lucky to work with amazing companies and gain friendships with people from around the world. She now splits her time between Egypt and England, where she's shadowed by her devoted Rottweilers, who are rumoured to be the inspiration for some characters in her novels.Find out more about Hazel Longuet at www.hazellonguet.com, where you can sign up to join her reader community and get a free book."
