Janyre Tromp | Author-Reader Match: THE SCORPION THIEF

nstead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Janyre Tromp!

Writes:
I write twisty historical suspense with a dash of myth - think espionage, art theft, and curses that refuse to stay buried. My newest book, THE SCORPION THIEF, involves Cold War politics, Egyptian artifacts, sisters who definitely shouldn’t trust each other, and a side romance that simmers beneath the surface.

About:
I’m a mom, best-selling writer, and professional wrangler of both teenagers and storylines. I love deep conversations, a little mystery, and finding beauty in unexpected places. I’m equal parts bookish and adventurous.

What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:
• You love twisty, atmospheric stories with real stakes
• You’re drawn to historical settings that feel immersive and alive
• You enjoy a hint of myth or the possibility that something unseen is at work
• You’re intrigued by complex relationships—especially when loyalty gets messy
• You don’t mind a little darkness if there’s meaning (and hope) on the other side
• You appreciate romantic tension that simmers without becoming explicit
• You’re the type to say “just one more chapter”…and mean five

What to expect if we're compatible:
• High-stakes, page-turning stories that keep you guessing
• History woven with myth—where the line between the two isn’t always clear
• Characters who make hard choices (and sometimes the wrong ones)
• Twists that reframe everything you thought you knew
• A thread of hope, even in the darkest moments
• Stories that linger long after the final page

THE SCORPION THIEF by Janyre Tromp

Threads of the Lost Myth

A Cold War, Myth-Infused Historical Thriller of Political Intrigue, Family Betrayal, and an Art Heist Worthy of the Silver Screen

Julie Cantrell, NYT bestselling author of Into the Free

A deadly Cold War political game.

A cursed Egyptian artifact.

Two sisters: one the treasure's guardian, the other its thief.

Egyptologist Noura Marquette has spent her life piecing together remnants of the past, but nothing prepares her for the day her sister resurfaces in Cairo. Estranged for years, Estelle unleashes a web of whispered threats and dangerous connections that capture Noura in a treacherous snare of betrayal, art theft, and espionage.

In Washington, Nixon's administration maneuvers to use King Tutankhamun's treasures as a glittering tool of propaganda.

From the souks of Cairo to the hurricane-lashed streets of New Orleans, something older than history watches, stalking Noura as loyalties fracture and the lines between history and myth blur. Some curses never sleep, and some debts can never be paid.
