The Blog-Tour is progressing
Dear Reader,
Below you will find the link to tune in on the blog-tour for my trilogy "Volga Flows Forever." Cheryl Christensen is the reviewer for the first book "Catherine," the historical novel about Catherine the Great. I hope you will join the discourse and, most of all, go on line, download the book and steep yourself in vibrant history. You may also buy a hard-bound, signed copy from me. If you are intersted, leave a request below this blog and I will contact you at your "correct" e-mail address. Thank you, Sigrid

Dear Cheryl,
I just came back from four days’ vacation and found your message. I love what you wrote about Catherine. You totally understood what I tried to accomplish. I became the young girl, the woman, the monarch— through the historical data. Perhaps it was easier for me to do than for someone else, because of my German background, the knowledge of culture and customs of the country. In addition I must mention that I spoke and read Russian fluently forty years ago and was also steeped in Russian culture and literature. The Russian author and dissident Vladimir Bukovsky has read all my works, commented very favorably on all of them and made me aware of two minor oversights.
Please let me know what I can do for you, helping your readers to receive all the knowledge on the book they might want.
Warm regards, Sigrid Weidenweber
Sigrid,
I also understand the benefits of embracing one's heritage. I do genealogy research for my ancestors in Denmark parish records. I really feel their joy and pain as I read through the christenings and burials and get a glimpse of their lives. The joy of a live birth, the pain of burying many young children, it all becomes real through those scant records. This tour is an adventure of the same flavor. Glimpses into a real life of such historical magnitude. I'm enjoying it!
Thank you for your work and passion.
Cheryl
