I haven't been in that part of the world--my goodness, you are a world traveler--but I've been all over Europe and I felt that awe when I first saw Notre Dame. Chills ran down my back.<br />Your excerpt is very good--I think you have an excellent theme for your novels--set in places you've visited. <br />I know you're not celebrating Thanksgiving--but I still wish you a wonderful weekend.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634172410498697945.post-42607186725173439402012-11-22T00:22:44.853+00:002012-11-22T00:22:44.853+00:00Thanks, Jen.

Must admit I really love the cover of 'Her Only Option' - and I've been so lucky with my other covers too (and the amazing artists who design them). I absolutely loved Egypt and really want to go back there, but sadly not in the present climate in the Middle East :-(Paula Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040623635956769807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634172410498697945.post-73061263024253621172012-11-21T23:17:43.241+00:002012-11-21T23:17:43.241+00:00Ah, I can finally comment!

And I find your talks about your trip to Egypt fascinating--I have to go there someday. I agree with Nancy, you're one of the hardest working authors I know.

Hard to believe that buildings could survive for so long and still be in such wonderful condition. I'd love to go back to Egypt, but the situation in the Middle East is now so volatile, I doubt I ever will.

Americans have a fairly new country with buildings no more than 400 years old. To view something over a thousand years old just seems magical. How unfortunate that the upheaval in Egypt and the rest of the mideast will prevent visiting that region for the time being.<br />I loved being in on your brainstorming for your novel. The premise sounds so enthralling. I wish you the very best, Paula.Sarah J.

My trip to Egypt rates as one of my most memorable and exciting holidays. Like you, I'd only seen Cairo and the Pyramids previously (about 20 years ago). I'd always longed to visit the Valley of the Kings, Luxor, Aswan, and the Abu Simbel temples, and the whole trip exceeded all my expectations!
