Thank you so much for the wonderful in...Hello! <br /><br /> Thank you so much for the wonderful information on your site regarding Taino gods and goddesses. I am a writer working on a middle grade children's book. One of the themes of the book introduces Taino/Arawak cultural themes. <br /><br /> It is in the genre of magic realism: a boy discovers a magical amulet left to his late Aunt Beatrice from a Jamaican archaeologist who'd discovered the amulet in a cave in Jamaica. <br /><br /> The boy dreams of a bohuti who leads him to a cave where he discovers a story about a noble woman who requested for her tribe's bohuti to create a magic amulet for the protection of her warrior husband from the invaders. The amulet protects it's wearer from all attacks, which come in handy as the 12 year old protagonist has bullies tormenting him at school.<br /><br /> I was wondering if I might send you my latest draft of my manuscript or the parts that deal with Arawak/Taino culture or themes. I want to make sure my usage of Taino terms and cultural information is accurate (the fictionally created amulet not withstanding) and respectful.<br /><br /> I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide feedback and even suggestions so as to better my manuscript and do justice to the mention of Taino/Arawak culture.<br /><br /> I was born in New York City and my parents are from Jamaica as are the parents of my protagonist, Corey. My Aunt Peggy has always claimed that our family has some Taino/Arawak ancestry and that has also found its way into my book.<br /><br /> I appreciate any help you can give. Thank you!<br /> I hope to hear from you soon!<br /> Donn Swaby<br /> donnswaby@sbcglobal.netDonn Swabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12535615002235562620noreply@blogger.com
