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 not just my personal adventures.
I wrote it to include a lot of background
information on Turkey and the Turks so
that it would be good airplane
and end-of-the-day reading for
anyone going to, or traveling in Turkey.
It also (dare I suggest it?) makes
a good gift for anyone
taking a trip to Turkey.
Want to read some of it? Here
are excerpts and photos.

It's not available in your
local bookshop. Here's
why.
You will find it
in bookshops in Turkey: the
book is published in Istanbul (in
English) by Homer
Books (Homer Kitabevi),
Turkey's largest publisher of English-language
books. It's on sale at the Homer
Kitabevi bookshop near Galatasaray
Square, and at other good English-language
bookshops in Istanbul, and other
bookshops throughout Turkey. But you
may want it to read on your flight
to Turkey.
Here are reviews by Hugh
Pope (author and Wall
Street Journal correspondant
in Turkey), Alan
Adasiak (Turkish
Daily News), James
Dunford-Wood (TravelIntelligence.net),
and Joan
Peterson, author of Eat
Smart in Turkey.
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.
