Also I received this message from Allan about his new blog:
What with traveling to South Africa for the shoot of "Chanda's Secrets", I decided to succumb to my publisher's hounding and start a blog. It's about writing and travel adventures there and upcoming in Cuba, Argentina, Vietnam and Italy. I promise to keep it fun, with the self-indulgence to a minimum -- cuz, like, what the world really needs is another writer's blog, eh? :)
