Book research in Brazil

   Posted by: rettstatt   in writing

I spent this past winter in Brazil, doing character and location research for my series. I spent a lot of time on a mountain in the middle of nowhere. On the mountain there is an orphanage, about 60 kids from the big city favellas. I volunteered there.

Also on the mountain was a buddhist “retreat” run by a German-Brazilian family, and I stayed there when I wasn’t at the orphanage.

I’ll talk more about how Brazil fits in to the series at another time, but I wanted to share a few of the photos.

Fascinated by Brazil and plan a trip to Manaus and beyond next dry season. My daughter keeps telling me that if I go, I’ll die…..maybe there are worse ways to go….read Transformedia….it is written that way on purpose……duh
Thnx for the photos.
