Don't Tread on my Dreams: A Collection of Short Stories by Dora Taylor

Noticed you liked Vernon God Little, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my novel since it's also southern (and a bit dark). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm currently out of physical copies). If you're interested, send me your e-mail address (mine is mail@christophertusa.com), and I'll send you the e-book. Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more about the book before you commit:

Thanks,

Hi there Estrela...I was wondering how u found Claim to the Country? I am conducting some background research on the San in Botswana (colonial attitude and treatment of, as well as contemporary status) and wondered if there were insights I could draw on there? Thanks
