Julie Hi Erika! When your book first came out, my friend John Murphy wrote a Courier review that ended with "everyone should read this book." Being a big fan of John's opinions, that was enough for me to buy the book, which I started at the time, but apparently the timing wasn't right for me because I didn't finish... unti...l earlier this year, after booking an adventure riding the TransMongolian Express from Beijing to Moscow, with 3 days scheduled in UB, including one night in a ger camp. Your book came off the shelf to my great pleasure and delight... all of the rave reviews are right on. Now that I too was captured by the magic of Mongolia, am planning to re-read WTPE this fall. Thanx for a terrific contribution to my journey.
When will you be out here for a public presentation again? Looking for a venue? The Claremont Forum would be a terrific fit...
PS - I was saddened to read your dad's obit - tho understand more fully where your worldview and sensitivities originate.

Dear Julie - I don't have a plane ticket yet, but expect to be in Claremont for about two weeks starting maybe October 19th. Pitzer College is having a small memorial service for my father on the 28th. If the Forum is seriously interested in having me do my little slide show, etc. ( I certainly appreciate your enthusiasm!), I also expect there to ... See Morebe more trips out to Claremont in the near future. I never knew John Murphy personally, only from the Courier, but am very sorry to hear of his passing.

Great to hear, Erika, that you'd be up for a Forum gig... Even better to know you'll be back after Oct - primarily cuz two of the key players to make this happen will be gone during the time you're here... so, at least at this point, it would probably be better to shoot for a next trip - any idea when that might be? (One caveat: by week's end, I'll know more which MIGHT indicate that we could pull it off in latter Oct.) Will ck back in.

Anne Pepelko Jacobsen Hi Erika. I read Where the Pavement Ends many years ago (and loved it!) and had the pleasure of discovering that my neighbor/friend (Helen S.) knows you well! What a small world! I love to hear about your adventures...so please keep writing.

Anne - I remember Helen telling me about you. Amazing how small this great big world can be. Thanks for the encouragement to get back to the words!

Erik Nehls its been a few years since i read your book, but i still think about the families you wrote about. there are many lessons to be shared from east to west (and back). my most memorable story... "can my son ride his horse to america?" was such an honest question... and i thank you for sharing the the 'world' with his fam...ily! :) reading any good books yorself lately?

Dear Erik - For me, too, "Can my son ride his horse to America?" continues to encapsulate so much of my experience - and to remind me just how big the world is (even as it gets smaller and smaller). I'm just back from six weeks in Niger with Doctors Without Borders, and am currently reading Desert by JMG Clezio, which is quite beautiful.
