Talk Like An Egyptian!

Hi friends!

After weeks of research… and way more Cleopatra eyeliner practice than I care to admit, I finally debuted my brand-new Egyptomania! Egypt’s Enduring Influence.

We had a full house, and it was a blast! It was especially fun seeing so many newsletter readers in person (Jonelle, Harry, Steve, Teena, Karen, Mike, among others) as well as making some new friends along the way.

Even though this presentation was created by special request for Watauga Public Library, I have a feeling Egyptomania isn’t quite finished with me yet… 🏺✨

In the meantime, here’s what I’ve got for you in my mid-month newsletter:

• Newest Book: Reviews & Bargain
• Autumn Talks & Classes
• Follow My Travels

My newest book, Buried America: Dallas–Fort Worth is still making its way into the world, and I’m delighted by the reviews coming in:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Snider's enthusiasm is contagious, transforming what many people overlook into destinations rich with architecture, genealogy, local legends, and forgotten history.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“This book made me want to drive to each and every one of these cemeteries and find these plots!!!!!”

Nothing makes me happier than hearing that the book makes people want to get out and explore these cemeteries for themselves.

That’s exactly what I hoped it would do!

When I checked today, Amazon had Buried America: Dallas–Fort Worth for around $14. That is considerably less than I can sell copies for myself!

Amazon prices can change, of course, but if you’ve been thinking about getting a copy, it’s worth checking the current price.

BUT here’s something Amazon can’t do:

If you buy a copy and would If you buy a copy and would like to make it a signed copy, I’ll happily mail you a signed bookplate to put inside. Just get in touch and let me know.

Egyptomania may be over (for now!) but my fall speaking season is just getting started.

I’ve got a few talks coming up in September, but October is absolutely packed with presentations—including a couple of classes at the University of North Texas!

I’d absolutely love to see some newsletter friends in the audience, so come say hello if you’re able to make one!

And here’s another way you can help me that really does make a difference:

Please tell your local librarians, genealogy clubs, historical groups, and other community groups about my programs.

A surprising number of speaking invitations begin with someone simply saying, “You should invite Tui!”

Word of mouth is one of the biggest ways my talks find new audiences, so thank you to everyone who has been spreading the word. 💜
