Self Insertion into a Story

Self-insertion is a literary device in which the author writes himself or herself into the story as a fictional character

I sometimes insert myself into my novels (Bast theCat Goddess, Eye of the Pharaoh).

Welcome to my blog.

I am an Author, Archaeologist (B.A. in Archaeology & Biological Anthropology, '99), Egyptian Afterlife Priest (Kheri-Heb) & a Pharaoh of Duat, visual artist, Micronationalist, and computer game modifier. I have written over 137+ books so far. My books are my paper monuments. I hope you enjoy them. I also made computer game "Mods"(over 300) for the computer game, The Elder Scrolls-V: Skyrim, on Steam Workshop/Nexus Mods (2012-2021), some with multiple star ratings.

I believe in reincarnation to comprehend future actions as based on past life actions, and direction in one's life. I believe my past life visits to Egypt influence and inspire me with their culture. My first publisher (1992) was a Psychologist at CSU Hayward/East Bay in California; she believed my fictional first novel was about real information, as did the US Government and NSA/CIA. When she published it she sold some $50M in as yet unpaid royalties, and when I alerted the Govt. about this, they confiscated it from her and paid me nothing, then asked a terror group (AQ) if "any American knew of their plans for global conquest" and started harassing Iran about their "Nuclear weapons" issues (Chapter 20-21). I researched Ancient Egypt prior to writing Eye of the Pharaoh (c.1990, 1995), I had read about 12 non-fiction books for that project. Content appears in the film, The Mummy Returns. The publisher died in 2020 from brain Cancer.

I self-publish now because I cannot trust people, plus I can control the books better with regard to design, availability and royalties. Follow me on Twitter: @HorusMichaelM7.
