The desert is full of really unique plants!

Speaking of plants....I wrote a little ode to desert flowers. https://kmarson.com/2021/06/09/blossom-viewing/

P.S. I love your commentary on Japanese culture's appreciation of transient beauty and how you see it there in the desert!

I am reading your book, i will give you a review, i was just wondering if you are still editing it because i found a couple of small errors...

[Yao RL]

This is fascinating.

[Krista Marson]

@kali66 super cool! Thanx 😊 it's a 'readers copy' and I'm actually reading one too and catching all kinds of small errors too. Like, how did I not notice some of these before???

[kali]

@blueberry1222 I thought it was missing the bit about meeting Ryan and testing his travel skills ( sure i have read you recounting that at some point!) ... it kind of goes from splitting with the other guy and suddenly Ryan is there without introduction .

[Krista Marson]

@kali66 hmmm...ryan is mentioned in the introduction. What chapter are you referring to? I've written so darn much that I could have easily overlooked something that critical. If you don't mind, can you plz point out where the mentioning of ryan out of the blue occurs so I can correct it? Thanx

[Krista Marson]

@kali66 actually, I think I know at what point. Alaska? It's probably necessary for me to re-introduce him at that point.

[kali]

@blueberry1222 yes i think so ...I think you have my email through the book link? if you wanna talk more :)

[Krista Marson]

@kali66 will do. Just so you know I appreciate your insights and 100% welcome your critiques. Shoot me anything via that email, too. Thank you!!! You're my bud! Love ya.
