Welcome

Thanks for joining me.

Books have surrounded me since I can remember. Words and stories helped a little girl living an itinerant life adjust to new places and, as an adult, helped stoke a curiosity about different countries, cultures and customs.

Buildings and their stories fascinate me, triggering questions about the people who walked within their walls: a coral stone wall built by the enslaved in the Danish West Indies; a monolithic church carved out of rock by Benedictine monks in the 12th century at Aubeterre-sur-Dronne in France.

And maps, drawers and cobweb-covered trunks all hold clues to the lives of people who came before us.

I hope my books will take you to faraway places, sometimes in faraway times, because wherever I call home, it is always about the people. Now and then!

Enjoy,

Apple
