photos of Africa and U.S. National Book Festival: August, 2007

On safari in South Africa, this is the lion cub that wouldn’t fit in my luggage…

Jake was actually BITTEN by this lion about thirty seconds later…’twas only a flesh wound!

Giving new meaning to how it feels to have a monkey on one’s back…

Jake, monkeying around.

Jake and I in Capetown.

Painted, with Anika Ebrahim, the most fantastic publicist!
