The Lost Baggage of Silvia Guzmán
I'm offering The Lost Baggage of Silvia Guzmán as a free download for a limited period. Choice of formats available. Please go to the web page I have about the book at http://mikerobbinsnyc.blogspot.com/20... and scroll down for the link.
Here is the blurb:
When Silvia’s country falls apart after a coup, she flees to London. Picked up by the police, she is dumped for weeks in a bed-and-breakfast with a crazy landlady, then rescued by cold intellectuals. She finds she is a nuisance to one side and a cause to the other, with no dreams, family or opinions of her own. Until she meets another, earlier, refugee; and then she has a surprise for everyone.
The Lost Baggage of Silvia Guzmán is a story of flight, loss and the pain of exile. But it is also a sideways look at liberal London – perceptive, caustic and sometimes very funny.

Free download: The Nine Horizons
Of all the cities in the world, I had to choose New York City in which to ride out this pandemic. I cannot say I am not worried, but this city will survive, as it has before; and I feel oddly privileged to be here.
Whatever happens, I have had an extraordinary life. My work has taken me to the Amazonian rainforest, the steppes of Central Asia, the ancient souk (now partly destroyed) of Aleppo and the plains of Sudan. I've watched the sun rise on the snows of Kanchenjunga, and seen great herds of yak in the high Himalayas. In 2014 I wrote some of it down in The Nine Horizons: Travels in Sundry Places.
Like all writers, I would like it to be read. So I have made it a free download, and will keep it that way for some days. There is a choice of formats (link below).
I will get through this, as will most of us, but if by mischance I don't, it would be nice to think that some of you have read this, and travelled with me.
