The mail brought me my very own copy of a novel by our very own Rebekah Scott.


http://www.amazon.com/The-Moorish-Whore ... rish+whore

My wife loves great whores of history and pounced on it, but eventually I'll get to read it, and if it doesn't have too many big words fro me, I'll return with a book report.

Congratulations Rebekah!

I have done little to promote the MW since the book was released -- I am a writer, not a PR person, and the publishing industry is in huge transition just now. Authors kinda get left in the dust unless they are bazillion-sellers!

Anyway, I thank all the Camino-heads who have taken Zaida to their hearts and have helped her novel pay for itself! Zaida bint Mu´tamid was a real person, who grew up in Seville and traveled up what we know as the Via de la Plata to Sahagun, back when the camino de Santiago was first starting up. History gives us just a sketchy outline, so I filled in the colors.

Newfy, please let me (and us!) know what you and your wife thought of the story. If anyone has questions, we have a FB page "Friends of the Moorish Whore" and plenty of reviews on the Amazon page... or perhaps we could touch on them here. I am always open for questions and comments.

Rebekah Scott
author of "The Moorish Whore" and dueña of Peaceable Kingdom, Moratinos.

I have been off on the Great Divide MTB. Bike Route. I will confess, I still have not read it.

However, A house guest, an internationally renowned architect and writer, who tends to be critical of everything, read it and loved it. I am impressed, and will be reading it soon. You won over a tough audience!

Reb,

I had no idea this book was in the works. Congratulations and well done. I have fired up the Kindle and have joyfully purchased it. Looking forward to reading it soon. You are amazing.

Cheers to you and Paddy,
John

Based on the comments here, I assumed the book was only available in a non-print format, which is a deal-killer for old set-in-their-ways folks like me. But I just checked on Amazon and was delighted to find that I can actually get the book in a print version. It's now in my shopping cart. Lots of good reviews on Amazon, congrats, Reb!

Buen camino, Laurie
