MOON BELIZE

Moon Belize (Avalon Travel Publishing, 2007): Winner of a Lowell Thomas Travel Writing Bronze Award in the category for Best Guidebook. From the judges: "The conversational writing takes this guidebook beyond just a comprehensive, detailed listing of what to do and where to go. The authors blend history, environment and 'need to know' information in an entertaining way. The guide handles all budgets."

    AMERICANS DO THEIR BUSINESS ABROAD:


    Stories By People Who Should Have Known Better But Are Glad They Didn't

    Herein reside seventeen stories (and one poem) written by Peace Corps Volunteers from across the generations and across the planet. Americans Do Their Business Abroad is a collection of stories a little too goofy, a little too personal (and maybe a little too gross) to belong anywhere else. Latrines. Goat eyeballs. Pickpockets. Whimsy. Wisdom. And arson in the name of hygiene.

    It is an honor to be included among my fellow Peace Corps writers in this collection of off-color toilet tales and other subjects, edited by Jake Fawson and Steve McNutt. My story, "Casa Chepito," is about an incident I experienced during my first week in Nicaragua, involving an outraged spider monkey and a rotten latrine.

    • LIVING ABROAD IN NICARAGUA

    Also co-written with Randall Wood, this new title is for those considering an extended or permanent visit to the Land of Lakes and Volcanoes. Part of Avalon Travel Publishing's Living Abroad In series, this book is filled with useful knowledge the authors learned during their combined 8 years living and working in Nicaragua. It also draws from their vast network of Nicaraguan and expat friends, giving the goods on things like: where to live, where to learn Spanish, rental considerations, real-estate rules, labor laws, etc.
