Here is the final chapter of The Inconvenient Goddess. Of Gods and Mortals is the next story of the Ancient Katie series.

The ancients believe their goddess Ištar has come to earth when modern-day veterinarian Katie Reynolds is blown back in time and appears in the goddess's temple. A voluptuous winged goddess with lions on either side and an eight-pointed star above, Ištar ruled the Cradle of Civilization for thousands of years.


Broken and bleeding, Katie is found unconscious inside a Mesopotamian temple three-thousand years ago. Wrapped in a mysterious blue plastic tarp and wearing an out-of-this-world blue vinyl United Nations jacket with white lettering and white plastic zipper, the ancients are even more astounded when they find a holy thing has been expelled from Ishtar's womb. It is Katie's birth control device from the 21st century. This foreign object can only be a talisman, sent to protect the goddess on her earthly journey.
