But nothing replaces BEING there and experiencing the smells, the food, the smiles (or scowls), the texture of the place. So glad you were able to visit Egypt and share your experience with readers.Linda Lovelyhttp://www.lindalovely.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419468362679974666.post-9880047257636313772011-06-01T01:00:08.189-04:002011-06-01T01:00:08.189-04:00What's the next book project?

What a great surprise!<br /><br />I've often dreamed about seeing that part of our big world and as you said, with the unrest, it's looking less and less likely I'd ever get to see it, but you never know...<br /><br />It's great to be able to pull on those sights and experiences as you create a new book and I'll bet it was fun to relive you're trip with your husband when you wrote VALLEY OF OBESSIONS. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your story and I hope the new book is your biggest seller yet!!AuthorIslandhttp://www.authorisland.comnoreply@blogger.com
