Well, it’s true – just last night I finished the last sentences of Scenes from a Life<\/em>. Of course, that is far from saying it is finished… for one thing I have to do my own read-through and catch as many of the little slips and errors as I can find. And get some external advice on this as well. And finish the author’s notes at the back, which will have a mixture of historical and textual notes including a paragraph or two on how ancient Egyptians interpreted dreams.<\/p>\n

The next event on the book tour is on October 1st.<\/p>\n
