Okay, I'm kind of dumb about this stuff. Is Temujin another name of Genghis Kahn? He has like ten different names. I loved the excerpt from the book. I can't wait for it to be published!

Thanks! Yes, Temujin is Genghis Khan's name before he's Genghis Khan. He only becomes Genghis Khan after he is elected leader of the steppe tribes. Incidentally, the name Genghis Khan appears only once in the book.

Nikki Root, I might call you many names but dumb is not one of them, LOL. It's a great question. Thanks for asking. And you're right - there are many variations of the name Genghis Khan and a good reason for that, which I plan to write about in an upcoming post. How's that for a teaser?
