Researching

The best kind of research, as I've written, is in the field--actually traveling to the location about which I'm writing. Research also involves reading and not just web sites but books and articles of all kinds. 

A writer needs facts but also needs to capture the flavor of the book's topic. There are many great web sites about East Africa but one that made me go aw-www--WOW! is http://www.maraconservancy.com/gallery.html. Each of the 3 photographers' photos capture what we westerners consider the essence of East Africa, foreign to us and yet so exciting that our adventure genes kick in! Take a break and relax as you do "research" with me. :-)
