Her book Secret Maps of the Ancient World was listed in fall 2008 as a new publication by WCILCOS (The World Confederation of Institutes and Libraries for Chinese Overseas Studies.) This book appeared in March 2009 at the National Library Show for American College and Research Libraries in Seattle, at the London (England) Book Fair in April 2009, and at the book fair of the American Library Association in Chicago in July 2009. Plans are currently being made for speeches in Asia in summer 2010.
