Hi Philip.Your books look fascinating and I will definitely be checking a few out. I spent a bit of time in the Middle East myself (Egypt, Tunisia, Bahrain) but never Africa south of the Sahara - yet!
Thanks for the "add" as they say on Myspace and talk soon.

Hello there young man! Wow Phillip, what an interesting bio. I'd love for you to visit my web site, jeanniebarber.com. I'm a novice writer so feel free to make any kind of suggestions, ideas or thoughts to correct it. I’m co-authoring a novel with Patty Wiseman, another friend on Goodreads. We’ve known each other for over 30 years. While you're there, please sign the guestbook, too! There’s also a link to our book you can click on…clairkelley@synthasite.com. This site is brand new and in the editing stage as is our story. Please visit it as well. We’re both very green, but we’ve met so many people on this site willing to reach out and offer advice or a guiding hand.Blessings,
Jeannie
Hey, Philip...thanks for the invite into your circle of friends...Congrats on your novels...wish you much success with your future writings...looking forward to sharing chats, reviews and any/all recommendations...have a blessed weekend...Happy Reading & Writing :-)
