Victoria Pitts Caine explains where she found the titles for the books in her series

Cairo


Liz McCran and Donnie Barnes travel to CairoEgypt, in search of Addie and Gary Wright, who were asked to deliver a mysterious envelope. Within days of their arrival, the couple has vanished. When Liz locates the Wright’s contact, Mr. Moustafa, she receives the first of several riddles.
Rayhan Shenouda, an Egyptian working at the American Embassy, agrees to help but his desire is to win Liz’s heart. Following his traditional customs, and much to her surprise, he proposes within days of their meeting.
       Will the Wright’s be found? Can Rayhan and Liz’s love withstand an inevitable collision of cultures and customs?
       Or will it all end at the hands of a nomad insurgent named Ahmad?


"Alvarado Gold came from the name of the small town near where my family originally settled in Texas . Cairo, which is the next book in the series, follows Addie and Gary on an ill-fated vacation to Egypt .The Tempering Agent is also set in Egypt and is the third in the series. The title for that book came from the agent mixed into clay that gives it strength and stability." Victoria Pitts Caine, author of Cairo AVAILABLE NOW

As the hot, oppressive Texas heat takes the breath from her lungs, Addie Brown stands at her grandfather's grave. Deep within her, she senses her anchor to family is gone. She looks across the freshly dug chasm at three of her four cousins. Nothing more than smiling faces on Christmas cards and vacation photos, she remembers once when they were close but something happened.

Snapping her back to reality, the minister reads, To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. She wonders when will be my time? But Addie has bargained with God and lost and she feels she can never share her secret with anyone. But through an unusual turn of events, she realizes there is a truth and meaning to the passage from Ecclesiastes that begins to drive her life.
