Happy Hello Dear Readers!

And it is a very happy hello because as of Friday, July 30, I met my 100% submission deadline for my book, Women in Combat. The next stage is the production stage. I believe that I will see the copyedited version before the book goes to press, but I am fairly certain that the Publisher does the indexing. At any rate, it is nice to have the composing part behind me.

EVENTS

The Multicultural Coalition in Grand Island, Nebraska, my hometown, has invited me to present a keynote speech and two breakout sessions at their annual conference on October 21, 2010. I am excited about this opportunity and look forward to it. The keynote speech is motivational and will be on the topic of my 7th book published in 2004, The Cuban Family: Custom and Change in an Era of Hardship. The titles of the two breakout sessions are: for the first, The Women of Afghanistan under the Taliban (2002 book) and for the second, The Women of Afghanistan in the Post - Taliban Era: How Lives Have Changed and Where They Stand Today (2008 book). The web location of the Multicultural Coalition is http://www.mcofgi.org/
