My books, like my articles, focus on solid travel, food and wine, adventure, spiritual and cross-cultural writing.

The Spiritual Traveler--Spain: A Guide to Sacred Sites and Pilgrim Routes (HiddenSpring Books, 2009) is the result of my 24 years of living in, traveling, and exploring all areas of Spain. It is a non-denominational and deeply anthropological and folkloric travel book that celebrates the diverse and truly sacred and spiritual places, traditions, peoples, and roads of Spain, past and present.

Historic Walking Guides: Madrid (Destinworld Publishing Ltd, 2009) is the ultimate walking guide to both well-known and off-the-beaten path historic sites in Madrid. Its eight walks are organized by theme, such as historic mysteries, wine and historic taverns, artist's and writer's Madrid, medieval Madrid of Muslims, Christians, and Jews, early modern Hapsburg Madrid, Enlightenment Bourbon Madrid, and Belle Époque Madrid of the past century. Throughout all the walks, the guide is infused with informative archaeological, historic, folkloric, and anecdotal information from conversations with longtime locals.
