Excavating the Termitary is a historical literary novel set between Europe and South Africa at the turn of the twentieth century. Inspired by real literary figures and a controversial book about termites, it traces a quiet intellectual rivalry shaped by questions of authorship, influence, and belief.

As writers, performers, and seekers move through salons, studies, and the South African veld, scientific inquiry collides with spiritual searching. Allegations of plagiarism begin to surface. Who owns an idea? When does influence become imitation? And what remains of truth when memory and invention intertwine?

Narrated from an unexpected vantage, the novel moves through devotion and doubt, originality and imitation, building its structure grain by grain. In the end, Excavating the Termitary asks what remains when the foundations we inherit-literary, philosophical, and personal-are opened to the light.

Shea, Tracy F.: - Tracy F. Shea is a Gulf Coast writer and filmmaker whose work blends history, humor, and the unexpected. Born in Lafayette and raised in New Orleans, she later spent many years in Los Angeles working as a classical singer before returning to the Gulf Coast. Her novel Excavating the Termitary grew from her fascination with the strange historical intersection of Nobel laureate Maurice Maeterlinck and South African naturalist Eugène Marais. She is the founder of Madafesto Endeavors, an independent publishing imprint, and also creates short films through Wind-Up Cinema. She lives in Gulfport, Mississippi.
