This was my old Travel Agency which I closed in 2021, after over 25 years in the business. I was tired and ready to retire. This is a legacy account that I will maintain for now.

In 2024, I retired for my corporate job and moved to France. I am happy living here and to be able to pursue writing full time. This year, I published my first book, Six French Cities, My Magical Medieval Journey, about my quest to find the ideal city in France for my retirement. I found that city. It was a fun and very enlightening three week trip traveling through five regions of France by train with my Chihuahua, Colonel in the fall of 2023. I fell in love with France all over again. I knew you will enjoy reading this memoir.

Now, I am working on my second book, A Boomer in Bordeaux, about my relocation prep, moving and then adapting to French culture during my first year of residency in France.

MY BOOK LAUNCH
Preorders are available on Monday, 5Jan.

My self-publishing journey has not been without it's challenges, but I hung in there.
My book, Six French Cities, launches on Tuesday, 6 January 2026.

Due to all the technical delays, I only have one day for preorders. Honest book reviews are requested from anyone who buys my book in the eBook or Paperback format, if you don't mind leaving one which helps other readers find it. So far, I have had positive comments from advanced readers, so I'm pleased.

My book, Six Ftench Cities, is now on Apple Books (eBook) and on Amazon (Paperback and eBook). And I updated the cover page and the book. I thank you all in advance.

I do feel that I’m over the biggest hump. Even though Monday gives me only one day of preorders, it's better than no days of preorders at all. Here are the links to my author pages:

Book Title & Cover Reveal

Updated my book cover.

This is the Debut and Reveal of my new book's title, front, and back cover design that I created. The background picture is from a shot I took on my three week trip around France, exploring six cities in search of my new home. I love France!❤️
My book will be launching soon. I'm so excited!

I am so excited about writing and self-publishing my first book, Six French Cities, a memoir series about my lifelong dream and quest to move to France. This first book illustrates how I explored six cities to find the one that captured my heart and I now call home. It's inspiring, and a true testament that our greatest challenges are not barriers inhibiting the pursuit and realization of our long deferred dreams.
