Rev. Merrie P. Wycoff, M.Msc., Ph.D. is the author of “Shadow of the Sun”. Merrie’s passion for Egypt was unearthed at the age of ten while on a school field trip to the Rosicrucian Museum in San Jose, California. Upon first discovering a colossal statue of Pharaoh Akhenaten, she vowed to write his story. Egypt was a long way from California, but the intrigue of mystery and ancient civilizations has stayed with her from her growing up years through today.
