You can order any or all of my 3 books in my Blurb Bookstore. The following is an excerpt from my first book, Just Another Day:
A week
before arriving in Istanbul in late summer of 2004, a series of bombs
credited to Al Qaeda tore through Sultanahmet - the popular tourist
district where we had our hotel reservations. As Lance and I drank
beers in the Athens airport while waiting for our late night flight
over the Aegean Sea, we killed time with crude male banter rather
than talk of bombs and terror and the unknown. What was there to
talk about, really? Tickets were bought. Hotels were booked. We
were going to Turkey. After a short flight of not much more than an
hour and a hard landing at Ataturk International, we raced a taxi
into town, checked into our hotel, and then stepped guardedly out
onto the recently terrorized streets of Istanbul.
