- I was a worker bee, but yearned to travel. Walking by my favorite bookstore on a whim I stopped in to browse the travel section. I found a Lonely Planet guidebook of India. That was the turning point and as I read more and more as if it were a page turning novel, and there was no looking back. I read that the monsoon season ended in India the end of August and a much better time to be there. It was May 30th when I left the US, and spent three months in Europe, just biding my time, while having the time of my life.
On my birthday, August 16, at age 32, I finally flew to India. A mishap caused my backpack to not make the flight on a brief transit stop from Sri Lanka to Southern India. I spent two frustrating hours in the Trivandrum airport lining up my backpack with the promise it would show up a few days later.
Resigned to the fact that there was nothing I could do, I took my trusty India guide and asked an auto rickshaw driver to take me to the Hotel Blue Sea. As I was whisked through the balmy palm lined, slow paced, exotic dirt-paved roads, my lost backpack was quickly forgotten. In that one instant, my life had changed forever.
From there I met a French girl some weeks later in Jaipur, India. We spent only five days together and said goodbye never really knowing we would see each other again. We did, as she is now my wife and we have a beautiful eighteen year old daughter.
I'm originally from Los Angeles and now we call Denver, Colorado our home.
Overland is a result of a many of my adventures and a vivid imagination.

Some readers of the book might be wondering, what is all the fuss? This book was released last year. It is true, OVERLAND was first published in August 2009....and now re-released in September 2010. Why?

I want to thank everybody who has chosen to follow my blog and to read some of the posts over the last few weeks. I do hope you are enjoying them.
To refresh the idea of what the OVERLAND blog is all about: to take one of life's many wistful abstract concepts each week, and weave them into one of the themes included in the novel OVERLAND. In previous weeks I have written about finding lost loves, a pleasant memory frozen in time, writing what we know, and a few other arbitrary yet… Continue
