I decided to make this separate book of maps to accompany ‘Intrepid Dudettes of the Inca Empire’, because readers might want to refer to them at several points while reading, so I thought it could be useful to have them in a different file. The book refers to the maps by number (e.g. Map 2) at points when you might want to take a look at them. There are maps of countries, the empire itself and more detailed maps of specific parts of countries. Also, I love maps. #MapsForTheWin!

Dive into a world of bold pre-Columbian women and goddesses! The book is my humble contribution to “herstory”- the history of women, the history of our foremothers, the women who made history yet were edited out of traditional textbooks. This is Inca history with the women edited back in, a book for anyone who is curious about historical women and ready to explore the world of powerful goddesses and strong Inca women, who lived before and during the Spanish Conquest. Well-researched historical reading that isn't heavy going. Praise for part 1: “I love the concept of this book." “An interesting and unique read!” “A really good read for anyone interested in how women can survive.” "The originality is refreshing- accessible, interesting books about the lives of Inca women and goddesses are hard to come by." Includes a discussion guide.

You may have heard of the Inca emperor Huayna Capac but probably not Contarhuacho (or Contarguacho), one of his many secondary wives. Born in Tocash in the province of Huaylas, Peru, in about 1500, Contarhuacho was a curaca or female cacique of great importance in her own right who played a significant role both before and after the Spanish Conquest. This short biography is a taster for a book I am planning entitled, ‘Biographies of Inca Women’. I would love to receive feedback on whether a book of that sort would be of interest to you and if so, which Inca women you would like me to include.

In the province of Morona-Santiago, around the city of Macas, a legend has always been told about the dangers of behaving disrespectfully towards nature. It is a legend that comes from the Shuar people, who live in the jungle in the eastern Ecuadorian Amazon. Generally speaking, they are brave and proud of their traditions and of the fact that they are one of a handful of indigenous groups who managed to resist both the colonising missions of the Inca and the Spanish. The upper photo of the front cover is a genuine Shuar dwelling that was on the side of the road on the way from Puyo to Macas in Ecuador. The lower one is a view of the rainforest as taken from Macas. Of all the towns and cities I visited in the Ecuadorian Amazon region, Macas was my favourite.
