Book excerpt: Here are eleven stories about the variety of people one might encounter during travel. The author confesses that he has met many of these characters during his own travels. The situations in the stories are sometimes similar to what actually occurred, but mostly they are invented combinations, or merely total inventions. A Danish woman travels across the whole Aegean Sea to search for her lover on an island in the Cyclades. A photographer of flowers finds a unique inn. The beach at the inn is so beautiful and so isolated that the name of the country must be kept secret. The photographer is fascinated by the other five guests at the inn who are all half his age, but mostly by the young and beautiful manager. Two brothers driving across the remote, central part of Iceland meet a travel writer, an adventurer, and hear him tell of one of his most fearful adventures. A young couple vacationing in Egypt hit on a way of translating the hieroglyphs on a wall that no one has ever managed to do before. An elderly man living in Irkutsk, Russia, stops two tourists from the U.S. and asks them to send him a special gift as a favor. He, in turn, will send the woman two rings made of a special stone. A young American soldier from Vermont, on a train in France, traveling home after World War I, meets a young woman on her way home from Rhodesia, about to be married in England. A man is on a fantastic journey but where he was, and what he really did see is a mystery for the reader to solve. A middle aged man and his much younger bride, who loves to tell stories that she probably creates on the spot, are visiting the island of Samos. He is having a hard time keeping up with her vigorous pace, but the reward of his efforts will be more stories for his wife to tell. A journalist wants to interview a wealthy and very generous contessa. His search for her takes him to several unusual places. I, the author, do not know if the journalist will ever write an article about her. A young American woman, a secretary, temporarily gives up her job in order to assay a life as a chef on a small yacht in the Caribbean. An anxious Hungarian couple is on the way home from their first vacation outside of Hungary. The travel restrictions for Hungarians are just beginning to change. Before each story is a one-page vignette telling of the authors experiences at various border crossings. They start with: Some borders are easy to cross, like the time we drove right through one without even noticing until we were some miles past. and end with How should one be greeted on first entering Greece? By bolts of lightning thrown by Zeus himself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirtysomething Cara Foster is, one might say, eco-anxious—perhaps even eco-neurotic. She eats out of dumpsters (not because she wants to but because it’s the right thing to do), does laundry as seldom as possible, takes navy showers every couple of days, and is reevaluating her boyfriend for killing a spider instead of saving a life. Cara has never met her six (soon to be seven) nephews and nieces because she doesn’t fly domestic (unless it’s an emergency) or international (ever). She longs for a carbon footprint so light you’d hardly know she exists. Then, during a mimosa-soaked Sunday brunch, she meets her boyfriend’s alluring mother, Millie, and Cara finds herself mesmerized. Millie represents everything Cara’s against: She eats meat, has cowhide rugs, drives a car the size of a small yacht, and blithely travels the world by boat, plane, and train—without any guilt whatsoever. In fact, Cara soon admits this may be why she finds herself so drawn to Millie. As they begin spending time together, getting pedicures and drinking sixteen-olive martinis, Cara becomes hooked on Millie and this new freedom from the harsh realities of life in the twenty-first century. Yet before long, Cara risks losing everything to be close to the mundane extravagance of Millie’s world—her career, her best friend, and her identity all hang in the balance as she struggles to disentangle from this intoxicating muse. Irreverent, witty, and provocative, My Days of Dark Green Euphoria is a satirical novel of how a life on the edge of eco-anxiety can spiral wildly out of control, as well as how promising and inspiring a commitment to saving our planet can be.

Book excerpt: In this collection of poetry, we enter the mystery of the Night. Who knows what that Night will bring? We may step back into the past. We may look to the future through the eyes of surrealism. We may see the present time as a secretive world, only the Night wanderer can unlock. What does the Night hold? In the hours of Night, darkness envelopes. Darkness can be present in the brightest of days though, the leading light is dimmed. How can the Night wanderer take the next step along the journey of life, when they cannot see the way ahead? Who will come to their aid? When will the dawn break? We are part of the world around us, a precious world, a precious gift. In all the power of the planet’s forces, we recognise a vulnerable planet. The forces of Earth, Air, Water and Fire are at the mercy of humanity. How much do we value everything that is in our hands? Do we bring darkness or light to our environment? Do we value the changing of the seasons? Do we stand in awe at the beauty of the passing year? We undertake a journey, into where?
