the best women's travel writing 2011

It's official! My new anthology, The Best Women's Travel Writing 2011, published by Travelers' Tales, is out! It's available on Amazon and (as evidenced by the fuzzy iphone photo) on bookstore shelves. Though our first scheduled event is actually a reading at the University of Prince Edward Island, I'll be launching the book this week in San Francisco, with a book party on Monday night, May 23rd, and a San Francisco Travel Lit and Lectures Series event on Thursday night, May 26th. Hope to see you at one or all of the events...
