At last I’ve found you! As a music educator in the States, I have for many years used your wonderful “All the Great Operas in 10 Minutes” for a variety
of Music classes I have taught, from Music History to Opera History, Opera Workshop, Vocal Seminar, and others. A few years back, my original VHS tape was unfortunately and irretrievably mangled in an encounter with an ancient and hostile videotape player. I know that occasionally, rare copies of the film are available on tape, but, as I am working with little or no budget whatsoever, I am wondering if by any chance the work was ever released on DVD, and if so, if copies might be available. I should love to continue using your film as a funny and valuable educational tool, but perhaps in a more sturdy platform. Can you help at all? I hope so! I look forward to your response! Thank you ever so much for your significant gifts–they are most certainly well-appreciated!
Sincere regards,

Hello,
My 13 year old daughter is interested in taking your writing camp, on the second week. None of her friends want to take it with her, but she still wants to do it. This is a big step for her as she is quite shy around new people. Would it be possible if she could phone you, to talk about the camp? This way she can make a decision to do, or not.
Thank you,
Sarah
Hi Sarah,
Yes, absolutely she can call me any time. Or we could even meet if that would help. I’m in and out of Ganges all the time doing school dropoff and pickups. You can email me directly at kim@kimthompsonauthor.com
This website is maintained by a staff of one with a budget of zero. Generosity on your part will supply said staff with coffee and biscuits, and enable me to bestow more time and love on this website. Mucho gracias!
Thank you for All the Great Operas in 10 Minutes. Great narration too. Your prof was wrong.

You’re welcome! And thanks! I agree completely.
