Y...Santa Fe sounds like a really interesting place.<br />You raise some interesting questions there. I frequently write outside my experience (with lots of research), but I try to avoid writing about the culture of people who are marginalised, as I feel that those stories aren't mine to tell.

Also here in SD. Nope. Never heard of that bookstore. Forgot to tell you I like the new cover of The Seventh Tapestry. I seem to remember some intricacy about you wanting the previous design (part of the tapestry) and that this was important to you, though… Thanks for offering your book to us.

Oh, that house-sit sounds so tempting. Yes, we're on the way home now, with stops at the Petrified National Forest today and maybe Zion. But snow is already predicted, so we'll check weather as we go. Sorry we didn't meet -- this time!

We could have finally met if we would have taken the opportunity, but we had other plans. We might drive through again in a month or so as we have friends who live on the outskirts. <br /><br />No surprise you barely found time to write.
