Author Description

OTHER WORLDS - DESTINATIONS ON THE ROAD OF LIFE is a series of more than a score of essays describing both physical and spiritual journeys of which author Dan Newland has been the protagonist over the past half-century. It also includes essays on other admired travelers such as Anthony Bourdain and Ambrose Bierce. The pieces are written in Newland's amiable storytelling style that is well-known to readers of his other works. These stories are replete with anecdotes, memories, nostalgia, pathos and frequent hilarious humor. While his earlier works have most often been set in smalltown America, this anthology, as the title suggests, unfolds in worlds he has known elsewhere both in his native US and in foreign destinations.
