Travel Writing discussion

Hi Hilda,
The Kindle version of my travel memoir about Yemen, Tracking the Queen of Sheba (https://www.amazon.com/Tracking-Queen...) will be offered for free download on Wednesday, Jan. 4. This should be of interest to anyone interested in the Biblical story of the Queen of Sheba, the country of Yemen or Middle Eastern archaeology in general. In this book, I related the story of my adventures accompanying an American archaeological expedition to the eastern wilds of Yemen to learn more about the ancient civilization of Saba, which was almost certainly the equivalent to Biblical "Sheba." Thanks for allowing me to post this!

This looks a fascinating book. I've always wanted to visit Yemen but sadly it doesn't look possible with the way things are at the moment. I'll definitely download and tweet about it.

Thanks much! And Yemen is definitely not a place you can visit right now. It's sad but the country has generally been off limits to western visitors for most of recorded history, except from the late 1970s to mid-2000s. The way things are going, I may never have the opportunity for a return visit.
