"Where the Nile Meets the Sea" is Andreja Gunjaric's debut novel.
Andreja loves exploring planet Earth, its beautiful lands, and its diverse creatures. She plans to write additional novels that bring to life the migratory route of Geb's descendants.
The author’s pen name is a tribute to her husband’s grandfather’s surname as it was spelled in the country from which he immigrated to the United States in the early 1900s (to be revealed in a future book). Having lived in Pennsylvania for nearly six decades, Andreja was inspired to write a debut novel during COVID lockdowns while researching genealogy and the migratory route she believes her husband’s 23andMe paternal haplogroup traveled around the globe.
“Where the Nile Meets the Sea” is intended to become the first of a six-book series. Andreja’s next novel will be “When the Stone Circles Align.” It will take place on the ancient British Isles and continental Europe during the time of the Amber Trade Road--around 300 BC and carry the tale of Geb and Lunah’s descendants forward.
Andreja worked for thirty years in finance, IT, and supply chain for international manufacturing corporations. Her professional and vacation travels transported her to many countries in Europe, Asia, and North/Central America. However, to write “Where the Nile Meets the Sea,” Andreja visited Northeast Africa virtually, carefully researching prehistoric lands with Geb and Lunah’s each step forward.
Andreja’s writing is inspired as a cross between C.S. Lewis’ fantasy adventure novels for youth and James A. Michener’s adult historical fiction novels detailing the lives of family generations in real-world geographies where the land and environment are characters, too.
The author maintains a Project Management Professional certification and has earned B.S. degrees in Math and Economics and a Masters Degree in Business Administration. She is thankful to her writer's critique group partners who helped hone her writing skills as each chapter progressed.
Andreja and her husband enjoy hiking in many of Pennsylvania’s beautiful state parks with their two-year-old chocolate lab and planting native flowers, plants, and trees to support wildlife on their home property. They are proud parents of an adult daughter and son.
Thank you for reading!
