I would like thank everyone who contributed and supported the crowdfunding campaign for Voices of Jordan seven months ago. I promised each and every one of you that your contribution would go to completing three full chapters and 15 photos. I'm happy to announce that this milestone has been completed and I am looking forward to begin the field work and interviews for the next three chapters. Also the first 'book talk' outside of Jordan will be in New York this month. I will be giving a presentation about the cast of 10 characters and how I'm bringing their stories alive. Thank you to Susan Wicht for hosting this event and for her support to Voices of Jordan.

Just a quick update: Another chapter has been completed. I am grateful for the feedback and advice from a few colleagues as I move forward to the next and last chapter funded by the crowdfunding campaign. Thank you to all those who have supported Voices of Jordan so far despite all the challenges. I look forward to completing all the fieldwork and interviews for the next three chapters by the end of the year.
