Kenneth Cline chose to focus his ICWA fellowship in 1983–1985 on village life in Egypt, Yemen and Turkey. His fellowship led to two travel memoirs: Tracking the Queen of Sheba (2016) and Village on the Nile (2017).
Ken went on to a career in financial journalism as a reporter with the Atlanta Business Chronicle, an editor at Southern Banker Magazine, Atlanta bureau chief of American Banker and managing editor at BAI Banking Strategies in Chicago. All along, he was freelance writing for history magazines on topics as diverse as Byzantium and Anatolian headdresses.
Ken’s other books include Mr. Kennis Goes to Yemen: A Story of West Meets East, Sauntering the Spiritual Variant of the Camino de Santiago and Sauntering to Santiago: The Camino de Santiago for Slow Walkers.
