Anyone who has ever considered taking to the water, or the open road, will appreciate the observations and experiences here. This is the real deal, not the romanticized version of this way of living, and it's delightful.
This is not Eileen's first rodeo. Her authenticity and wry humor are relatable for those of us who've been hanging around this planet for awhile (and have maybe lost a bit of patience in the process). Enjoy!
Switter's World offers an irresistible blend of pragmatism, wry humor and hope. He might be a grumpy curmudgeon if he didn't have such a kind heart. There's wisdom there.
I'm convinced that Ruby-the-van and Holly-the-writer-editor are here to make sure none of us gets utterly stuck. Even if you're not traveling, these essays will take you to places you long to go. And remarkably, thanks to Holly's amazing gift with words, you'll discover you were there all along.
Amy is a gifted illustrator, her pages overflowing with colors, shapes, lines, words. But the expansive and honest way she puts words to her days invites reflection without the burden of too much opinion. Amy explores beyond destinations, questions without expectations, and invites curiosity along the way.
Rebecca is utterly endearing as a person, decidedly captivating as a writer, and wildly talented as a mixed media artist. There's so much good stuff going on here that you have to believe getting lost all the time is just her way of making new discoveries.
Ramona isn't here to generate hype. She's no-nonsense and her ideas are time-tested. For serious writers, this is good stuff.
A seasoned wordsmith and a woman who has lived long enough to know a thing or three, Ramona Grigg is a voice of wisdom, wit, and wonder. Mona is not afraid to tell you how she really feels. Fellow writers will also enjoy "Writer Everlasting," her other Substack publication.
