Born and raised in
Austria, Inge H. Borg studied
languages in London, Paris and Moscow. A “one-year” job transfer from Vienna to
the US turned into 55 years and led to becoming a citizen. Borg now lives in a quiet lake community in Arkansas where she devotes
her time to writing, reading and, alas, cats that love her (she thinks).
Thanks to the
emergence of the Indie author, Borg’s historical novel, Khamsin, The Devil Wind of The
Nile, A Novel of Ancient Egypt (Book1 of 5 of the Legends of The Winged Scarab
series) was published after a long gestation period (and a collection of
rejection slips from agents and traditional publishers).
Despite the initial dampers,
Khamsin
became an Editor’s Choice and was short-listed for the Historical Novel
Society’s Indie Award in 2014. Readers also awarded the novel the Indie BRAG Medallion, and rated it a Discovered Diamond on this Indie-supportive
site.
There quickly
followed four archaeological adventure stories in and around Egypt. While the
fiction starts during the Arab Spring, interwoven in the action are many
factual scenes; history in the making (although some predictions we wouldn’t
want to become reality).

“Fact in Fiction” segments on Borg’s Blog: http://devilwinds.blogspot.com/
Borg also wrote a few novellas, ranging from a woman who likes her wine too
much to a book of poems and prose. And then, there is Edward – a charming
conman who becomes a major pain throughout Books 2-5 of the Legends
of the Winged Scarab series. (Inge insists none of these stories are autobiographical.)
For those of you who
like animals – there is a short book about her cat Pasha, From Animal Shelter to a
Sheltered Life; mostly amusing episodes when she was a shelter
volunteer.
She does have an Animal
