Hello, I found your blog by accident. Right now, I'm looking for any book writer esp. writers who wrote management, marketing, finance (any business related book so to speak) who will come to Malaysia this coming September. I'm working with MIRC and we will have Leadership Forum in September. Looking at your passion for words, hopefully you can help me out here. I bet there will be good writers coming to Malaysia soon. Please write back to me ya... sarimah@mirc.org.my

If you read Marianne Wiggins THE SHADOW CATCHER, and want to explore further an interest in Edward S. Curtis...

Search out THE INDIAN PICTURE OPERA, on Amazon. It's a fascinating recreation of ES Curtis lectures on Americas West and its Indians, as he saw them.. circa 1900.
