I am featured as the Cover Model for this historical romance novel, Child of the Morning by Pauline Gedge, published in 1978 by Signet Books. It is a literary classic and one of the most popular novels of ancient Egypt ever published.

Hatshepsut ruled Egypt not as a queen but as a Pharaoh, thirty-five centuries ago.

Her blood, her brilliance, and her beauty won the throne for her which was forbidden to any woman.

Ascending the throne at just fifteen, she must navigate a dangerous web of high court treason, the deadly envy of her enemies, and a forbidden love with her brilliant architect, Senmut, to forge one of the greatest reigns in human history.
