"The travel writer has no choice but to fabricate reality. If the writer is good, the fabrications generally overlap with reality. We should add, that reality itself isn't so stable. It too, travels."

TIRANA PAPERS - Discovering Albania

Comment on Tirana Papers

With the immediacy of a journal, this book is a must have for anyone wanting a snapshot of Albania in the early part of the 21st century.

EVERY SHADE OF BLUE

From the pale blue skies over San Francisco to the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea, Every Shade of Blue describes travels with the musician John Renbourn. One of the original members of the innovative folk group Pentangle, John continued touring, composing, recording and teaching right up until March 2015, when he was on tour with the legendary Wizz Jones. His music, both his own compositions and his arrangements of medieval, classical and traditional folk music, has been an influence and inspiration to many.
