Two series, Claire Malloy and the Maggody books. Local library probably has both. They are set in Arkansas. Some of them cross-reference with Elizabeth Peters books. The Amelia Peabody books by E. Peters are a hoot, the earlier ones being better. Start at the beginning of the series if you can. Amelia Peabody is an Englishwoman who goes to Egypt in the 1880's ( I think ) and has amazing adventures.
