Hi Duan – thanks for contacting me. Your work sounds fascinating. Perhaps you would like to contact Seatrek’s Wallace expert, Tony Whitten, the Director of Floara and Fauna International? His email address is: Tony.Whitten@fauna-flora.org.

Best wishes,

Simon

Hi
was a great fun reading your blog. I am an Indoensia Biologist planning to do a very short biodiversity assessment in Gag, one of the tiny islands of Raja Ampat. Feel so pity (and upset) that some people in LIPI (Indonesian National Science Foundation) don’t even bother to publish / make it available online of some of very important data about Gag Island’s Flora and fauna..

salam,

Comment on Maritime Silk Route Cruise: April 2013 by sworrall

Hi Karen – thanks for checking in. I am pleased that you found the story of the old clove tree interesting: he is a rather marvellous, old arboreal boy! As to the Maritime Silk Route Cruise: we do actually still have a few berths available for the April 23rd. departure from Singapore, so good timing! I will email you the details, with a brochure, at your gmail address. It would be great if you could join us! With best wishes, Simon Worrall

Today I somehow stumbled upon the fascinating story of the “world’s oldest clove tree” and was captivated by the history (and how it is repeating itself presently!) This blazed a trail to April 2013 adventure cruise of the Maritime Silk Route.

I would love to know the details of this. It most probably is full for this year, but I would still be interested to know more and dates for a similar cruise next year?

Thank you!!

Comment on The Poet and The Murderer Goes to No.1 on Kindle by sworrall

Thanks for getting in touch. You are not missing anything, except that my book is also to a large degree about Mark Hofmann’s attempt to bring down the Mormon church through forgery, hence the posting about it going to No. 1 in the category Mormonism on Amazon. You are also correct that the book is not available on Kindle in the UK. That is because my UK publisher, Harper Collins, still own the rights ( whereas the rights have reverted to me in the US) and had not had the gumption to make a digital edition available. Happily, that is about to change – they are in the final stages of preparing the digital files – so you should be able to order it on Kindle by Christmas, at least. Best wishes, Simon Worrall.

Hi there,
Tiny bit confused. “The poet and The Murderer” published in 9/2009 covered the forgery of an Emily Dickinson poem by Mark Hofmann.
It also does not appear to be available on Amazon Kindle.

Am i misunderstanding something?

Thanks very much Charlene. It’s always a pleasure to hear from readers. And the book has now gone to No.1 in the Mormonism category, so hopefully we will continue the momentum. Please share your enthusiasm! And if you had a moment,would you be kind enough to write a review on the Kindle/Amazon page?
