I have been fortunate enough to spend many years overseas in some wonderful, magical places and meeting some extraordinary people. Experiencing the land and its legends, myths, and history deeply inspires me to create stories, some fiction and some non-fiction.
Perceptions change, and expression comes in many forms. I am a published poet, produced playwright, and short-film maker. I continually seek to explore new forms of literary expression as I move along the creative path.
Most recent publications include www.intravelmag.com, The Modern Antiquarian www.themodernantiquarian.com, www.inditecircle.com, www.megalithicpoems.blogspot.com, and Remark Poetry. I have recently finished a full length stage play adaptation of The Bacchae of Euripides.
I am most interested in becoming a travel writer, but I would consider all publishing offers! Poetry, stageplays, travel, historical fiction, and sci/fi fantasy are my fortes.

No matter how you are traveling, it is very important to plan certain aspects of your journey a few weeks in advance. We have witnessed how fast a week goes by, especially when working full time and putting off that little bit of organization will take its toll. There is always a 'thread' of stress attached to travel because it requires constant physical action to 'get there' and action isn't always smooth!
Get your emotional self in order first by starting the early preparation. You may have bought your plane, boat or bus ticket months in advance, but do not leave it until the week bef...
