I'm not working on a sequel to Dreams of Joy right now, although I did plant some things in that novel in case I ever decide to write a third book in the series.

Months ago I asked about historic novels about Finland and you said you didn't know any, but asked for recommendations. I have now read three: The Burnt Out Town of Miracles (Jacobson,) New Finnish Grammar (Marani,) and The Unknown Soldier (Linna.) Only the last was written by a Finn and is presumably realistic. But the other two, however unlikely, did have a good sense of time and place. Have you found any?

Dear Lisa - I have only just found the Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane. I am mesmerised. I have been fascinated with the ethnic minority groups in the Golden Triangle area since visiting N Thailand and Kunming in 1989. How did you find out so much about the Akha to write such a detailed account? Do you find that publishers are open to these stories? I find them closed minded to such a story especially in this time period

My sister and my cousin adopted children from other countries (not western European). The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane was great: it presented the viewpoints of the kids, their adopted parents and their birth mothers. Wonderful. Different: Years ago, I had a friend here whose family has a tea "plantation" in Kenya. It's still there.What do you know about growing tea in Kenya?? Julie
