On the eve of my second book release, I'm busy researching and outlining the third and final book (yes fans, it's not over quite yet).
A significant piece of the story will take place in Manchuria and Mongolia, and I definitely want to add a level of realism and immersion over what I can get from YouTube videos and Wikipedia entries.
I'd also take suggestions on PRESENT DAY research materials on the region. Most written material on Manchuria revolves around the Japanese occupation, and that of Mongolia is positively ancient.
So if you're the SME or know someone who is, I'd appreciate the help.

Well this didn't pan out, I'll try some national/international gun boards.
Anyone have expertise on sailing Puget Sound/British Columbia/Alaska/Aleutian Islands?

Must include sexy girl who is of regional mixed decent. From Samarkand. Walked east when it hit.
Vehicles stuck in mud in the summer.
Freezing and losing limbs in winter.
Smelly odd meats.
Raids from the south.

As most of you guys know, I don't do the bodice-ripping swashbuckler novels with front covers that get menopausal women fired up at the supermarket checkstand.
But the foreign romance angle does have some merit here.
