Please let me know!<br /><br />Regarding "Those Who Have Gone," the cool thing about the Hohokam is that no one knows why/how they left the Sonoran Desert. There are all sorts of theories--war, migration with other tribes, drought. I even read one story where they thought aliens (like, from space) were involved. Anyway, no one knows for sure why they vanished to this very day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287228590575036452.post-89837008502579173392010-09-20T16:37:16.039-04:002010-09-20T16:37:16.039-04:00What a lovely interview!

I know it's early (at least where I live) but I've already got the pitcher of mojitos chillin'. <br /><br />I'm currently doing some edits on a YA that I've been working on for about a year. It's about a Native American girl golfer. I love the story. Let's hope a few editors do too. :-)<br /><br />Once that's finished, I want to return to a retelling of a very popular legend here in the Wild West that I believe history got wrong, at least from the Native American end. Am in the middle of doing my research. It's still in the early stages. We'll see where it takes me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287228590575036452.post-45272321550601661002010-09-20T10:06:49.657-04:002010-09-20T10:06:49.657-04:00that is a lot of research, you deserve every succe...that is a lot of research, you deserve every success u get LizJoanna St. Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06180782095853911283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287228590575036452.post-69185440607147559322010-09-20T10:03:12.061-04:002010-09-20T10:03:12.061-04:00Liz,
