My readers know that the works I create are based on the people I meet, the experiences I’ve enjoyed and the places I’ve traveled. Therein lies the essence of the Traveling Author, for that’s what I am. Where some sit and write book after book, my lifestyle is one where I take a break, traveling to rejuvenate my mind, body and soul, absorbing all that I’ve encountered, then I return to my home and produce a novel.

Travel with me as I search for inspiration. You can virtually tag along, or show up with a book in hand. My itineraries are posted on my website under Destinations.

I'm in Europe and have been missing just about everything in the States, including my emails:) Yes, I believe she is still alive and well, and in Las Vegas. This last year, renewed interest in her story has resulted in her being in the media a bit more, one on MSNBC if I recall correctly. I'm sure others would appreciate a quick review of the book on amazon about the bio- (I know I would!). I've provided it for free because her story is so incredible I want the world to know about it--and I get so many wonderful comments but so few readers make a note. Please do if you can--and look Sue if you have the inclination. I'm sure she'd love it! Sarah(less)

Don’t be so hasty

Applying grace in a world of numbers and profits
