Smooth Living: Beyond the Life of a Vagabond

2013 Tips and Tales of a Vagabond

After more than 4 years abroad and on the road – my time to come home is rapidly approaching. I hope. My Arab wife’s final (I hope) immigration interview is tomorrow in Casablanca. If they approve it (which they have no reason not to) – I will be finishing this 4 year, around the world journey and coming home to a completely different world than the one I left.

To celebrate that and the ten year anniversary of Rough Living: Tips and Tales of a Vagabond – I’ve launched my latest book Smooth Living: Beyond the Life of a Vagabond and an updated and expanded version of Rough Living. I’ve also re-edited, re-formatted, and re-published Liminal Travel, Meliptimous Taggle, and my other fiction.

All of my published books can now be found at with links to them or direct buy buttons.

I’m nervous, scared, and might have lost my mind from being in Morocco for too long. Coming home with a wife, a baby, and no idea of what might happen next is a BIG BIG thing. I look forward to sharing it with you, just as I’ve tried to share everything else.

If you’ve read my books and have reviews or notes, please don’t hesitate to share them with me or other readers.

My books don’t fit in any neat box — because they’re about people who feel something huge is missing… and actually go look for it. Some even find it.
