Turkey: Bright Sun, Strong Tea, my humorous travel memoir, tells how I got involved with Turkey in the first place (as a US Peace Corps Volunteer in the 1960s), how I became a travel writer, and what it’s like to be one (best job in the world?)
It’s available in paperback, and as an ebook. Want to read some of it? Here are excerpts and photos.

What You Get
I wrote the book to be both an entertaining story (a true one, no less) as well as a thoughtful introduction to Turkey, the Turks, and how to travel there.
I designed the book so that its chapters are divided into short sub-chapter sections just right for a quick read, if that’s what you want, or you can continue and have a longer full-chapter or get-deep-into-the-book session. The design makes it good for reading in episodes on a plane, train, bus or boat, or while relaxing at the end of a day of sightseeing.
Dare I suggest it? A paper copy makes a good gift for anyone planning a trip to Turkey, especially a signed copy with an authorinscription of your choice. Just add your desired inscription in the “Message to Seller” field in the online ordering process.
I’m happy to say that reviews and comments from readers have been quite positive. (Authors like that!)
It’s not available in your local bookshop. Here’s why.
Here are reviews by Hugh Pope (author and Wall Street Journalcorrespondant in Turkey), Alan Adasiak (Turkish Daily News),James Dunford-Wood (TravelIntelligence.net), Joan Peterson, author of Eat Smart in Turkey, and Dr Jessie Voigts of Wandering Educators.
Looking back, I’m astounded at how big a part blondes, champagne and tea have in the tale….
By the way, Turkey Travel Planner has lots more info on bright sun (Turkey’s climate) and Turkish tea.
