About the Author...
Don Southerton has held a life-long interest in Korea and its rich culture. His previous non-fiction books centered on American entrepreneurialism and early U.S.-Korean business ventures. Southerton also writes and comments on modern Korean business culture and its impact on global ventures.
This is the author’s second novel and is part the A Yankee in the Morning Calm trilogy that blends historical fact with ample amounts of imagination.
Don. I am a blooger who reads your posting everyday. I have something to tell you. The cover of your new book "A Yankee in Land of the Morning Calm" has serious flaw.

ReplyDeleteBook Two addresses concerns by many, including the main character Josh, on Japan's role in Korea. BTW The book has a number of historically accuarate illustrations on late 19th century Korea...
