Globetrotting Author Releases New Book

Tale of a local family's adventures in the lands of Genghis Khan


McKinleyville, CA - "There's a Sheep in my Bathtub" 272 pages, paperback

Author: Brian P. Hogan

Publisher: Asteroidea Books (www.AsteroideaBooks.com)

There's a Sheep in my Bathtub is the story of an American family (the author's) as they survive and even thrive in the bizarre and topsy-turvy world of post-communist Mongolia from 1992-96. The Hogan family served as English teachers and worked in Asia largest copper mine in addition to helping start Mongolia's first movement of multiplying fellowships of Jesus followers (now numbering over 40,000). Replete with photo illustrations, this humorous and, at times, heart-wrenching memoir chronicles an intensely personal bird's eye view of the cataclysmic changes that sweep Mongolia after the fall of totalitarianism.

You will laugh, you will cry, but you will not be able to put down this adventure at the ends of the earth.
