To know that you are happy in "deep, secret places."<BR/><BR/>Norah - I have not read Watson's books but will certainly pick them up when I am over there in a couple of months. I have heard of the Chilcotin wars, albeit vaguely, through my time at the paper in Williams Lake. Another good topic which I will have to gather info on. The Chilcotin haunts me. Do you know about Chiwid? Sage Birchwater wrote a book about her. I would like to read your works on the Chilcotin someday.PurestGreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10860331983741242940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23008725.post-55431306601731618032009-02-23T02:27:00.000+00:002009-02-23T02:27:00.000+00:00I like the blend of dry beauty and sinister haunti...I like the blend of dry beauty and sinister haunting in your writing about the Cariboo Chilcotin.<BR/>Have you read Sheila Watson's novels?
