  The cartoon image was drawn for me by a street artist in Montreal during my Guinness record railing.
  My first book back in the 90s was a travel tip book. It was outdated by all the info about East Berlin I had written. I am updating it now, but have to take a few more trips through Europe by train for the research. Trains and other things have changed. My last trip was in March, but I still need at least one more.
  9/11 changed a lot of opinions, but most of my family and friends still realize there are good and bad in every country. I have met Arabs in my travels that I truly liked. It is the religious fundamentalist Islam I am frightened of. Also, their treatment of women and girls upsets me.
  I think your book would be ok as is. "The Kite Runner," was written by an Afgani. The book is very popular here. Anyway, if your book generates a lot of flak, you'll sell a lot of books and become famous. To waste all those words you've assembled would be a shame.
  My brother worked in Saudi and I am picking his brain for info for a novel I'm writing. I don't usually write about places I have not been to, but this time I'm trying it.

  Thanks, I know, agents always say, don't send out multiple submissions but they take their sweet time answering and meanwhile, the clock ticks away.

  Have you thought of getting it back in print? In addition to the kindle and PDF file?
