I am an author, lyricist and theatrical producer.
When I'm not writing songs or travel articles, or producing shows, I pack some French roast and catch a plane to Athens. Then a ferry or a hydrofoil to... but that's classified.
I hitchhiked to Greece in my first nomadic summer, and discovered my native land. I've been exploring it ever since -- hiking in the Pelion, kayaking in the Dodecanese, sailing the Aegean. In a tiny seaside taverna, over fried kalamari and a pitcher of homemade red, a few Greek families and I watched Obama conquer Berlin.
Maps are my recreational drug of choice. After wearing out five passports and four continents I decided to uncork my memories and imagination -- and a bottle or two of retsina -- to write my first novel,
"Café Tempest: Adventures on a Small Greek Island". It's a kind of "A Year in Provence" meets "Zorba the Greek". I invite you to my mythical island of Pharos, to laugh and dance in the hammock, not the cradle of Western civilization.
