I have been able to travel all over the country and see many places that I probably never would have visited. I have also participated in many charity events for worthy causes.

A world with a sudden limit on air travel would be tremendously different from the one we live in now.

I don't write under the ghost of Faulkner. I live in the same town and find his life and work inspiring, but that's it. I have a motorcycle and tool along the country lanes. I travel at my own speed.

I'm extremely blessed because I travel extensively for my work, but I always try to incorporate a bit of leisure with business.

As far as my favorite sites, I do a lot of mundane stuff on line because I travel so much.

I just don't see myself as a travel writer. I can't. I don't.

I don't have any superstitions, but what I always travel with is my pillow and my coffee.

While the spoken word can travel faster, you can't take it home in your hand. Only the written word can be absorbed wholly at the convenience of the reader.

If I had children, I would be very selfish. I wouldn't be out doing things. But by not having kids, it makes me freer to travel the world and talk about things I feel are important.
