I'm plunging back into my research for my work-in-progress novel and having a blast on YouTube. I just watched a video done by Discovery Channel and BBC a few years ago on the Queen of Sheba mystery and current archaeology persuits. It's fantastic, and I want to buy it, but it's not available anywhere. Argh.
The clip I included is a 2:37 photo montage about Yemen, Sheba (Saba), the Great Dam of Marib, and other things I've researched. I didn't make the video, but did chuckle through it as it showed covers of books I've bought recently for research and other photos I've seen. Wish I could go to Marib!
I want to make this novel rich with detail, truth, and mystery. Sounds good, right? This book is going to be a joy to write and research!

Cindy-- I did pack that book, and it's really cool. I forgot about the Iris Murdoch one, though. :-(
Angela-- I don't know when, if ever, I'll post notes. I might just copy links from other bloggers. Lazy, yes, but I've got about zero time.
