#Kirkus star #author writing The Millionaire and the Geisha. #historicalfiction about JP Morgan's nephew marrying a geisha in 1904. Not your typical love story!
In Kyoto I attended a #geisha party & saw this lovely performance. The name of the dance makes reference to tea & you can see her picking tea leaves. Unhappily video cuts in an odd place. Koaki was elegant, beautiful & captivating. Stay tuned! #author#TheGeishaandtheMillionaire
No, I’m not in Japan yet. But last month on a rainy afternoon in the East Village, I went from this to this in 4000 easy steps with just a little bit of padding and a touch of make up plus expert help from Masae Satouchi of the New York, Kimono, Academy. All research for new book
So excited to be headed to Kyoto soon to spend time with Peter Macintosh, geisha expert & advisor on my book about George Morgan's marriage to geisha Yuki Kato. Here's a Kyoto street scene from that time. Circa 1920. #japan#geisha#themillionaireandthegeisha#historicalfiction
Rare photo of geisha Yuki Kato and millionaire George Morgan whom she later married. In dark kimono are Yuki (left) and her sister Uta (right). Girl is Namie, Uta's daughter. George is behind them. Man on far right may be Kobayashi, George's interpreter and guide #geisha#histfic
Everything in the geisha world is exquisite. From their kimono to their umbrellas to their hair ornaments (kanzashi). A whole world of beauty and grace.
Always thrilling to see maiko (geisha-in-training) walking down the street in Kyoto. Getting in the mood for an upcoming trip by looking through my old photos!

Road trips are full of surprises. Today I got lost in the pouring rain in a small town in PA. Made a U turn in front of the fire station and found myself looking at this! Let's turn all the old phone booths in America into Little Free Libraries!!! #RebelliousWoman#Libraries
Last month John and I traveled to Botswana -- where this happened. Apparently meerkats like high places. I was the highest thing around. #Adventure#ARebelliousWoman#BelleBoyd
