Dear Kristen:
Nassau four days behind us. Semester at Sea is the best! Still can't believe this incredible ship is my campus for 100 days.
I miss you. Signed up for Global Ecology, Intro to International Trade, World Music and Comparative International Studies. Just read "The Art of Crossing Cultures". That book sold 400 copies at the bookstore yesterday—most of them on my work-study shift I'm sure. Venezuela here we come!!!
Magnificent sunsets from deck.
P. S. Promise me you'll call Semester at Sea at 800-854-0195 today and get an application for Fall '92.
Love, Brian

KU graduate Connie May Fowler wanted her master's thesis to be accepted by the department of English, and it was.
Her thesis also became the first novel Fowler had published.

Kansan staff writer
KU thesis launches novelist's career
"Sugar Cage" explores the resilience of the human spirit and the search for spiritual meaning in the modern world. Fowler said.
She signed copies of the novel, which was released Jan. 9, yesterday afternoon at the Mt. Oread Bookstore in the Kansas Union.
Fowler said she finished the novel in May 1990, the same semester she completed work on a master's degree with an emphasis in creative writing.
Fowler said that Carolyn Doty, assistant professor of English, suggested she turn the thesis into a novel.
The novel began as several short stories with many characters, she said.
Doty said the richness of the character that Fowler greatest that Fowler connect the stories.
"She has a good ear for the way people speak," Doty said.
She said the book received wonderful reviews.
"The writing is absolutely beautiful! She said."
Fowler said she had written poetry for literary magazines and freelance articles for magazines before coming to KU. She is now a full-time novelist.
Doty contacted an agent who accepted the novel. The agent took the
rower said that after connecting the stories, she still did not think about publishing the work.
"I really just wanted to get a draft done before I graduated," Fowler said.
Fowler said that she had sold the paperback publishing rights to "Sugar Cage" and that Columbia Pictures purchased the movie rights.
Fowler said she was lucky that her first novel was published.
"I didn't think I had the talent," she said.
Her book-signing tour will continue in the Kansas City area, Florida and Europe. The novel has been sold in seven European countries.
"I am not a struggling writer, just a nervous one," she said.
Before coming to KU to earn a master's degree, Fowler graduated from the University of Tampa. She now lives in St. Augustine, Fla.
The tour temporarily will prevent Fowler from working on her second novel, she said.
