Herein reside
seventeen stories (and one poem) written by Peace Corps Volunteers
from across the generations and across the planet. Americans
Do Their Business Abroad is a collection of stories
a little too goofy, a little too personal (and maybe a little too
gross) to belong anywhere else. Latrines. Goat eyeballs. Pickpockets.
Whimsy. Wisdom. And arson in the name of hygiene.
It
is an honor to be included among my fellow Peace Corps writers in this
collection of off-color toilet tales and other subjects,
edited by Jake Fawson and Steve McNutt. My story, "Casa
Chepito," is
about an incident I experienced during my first week in Nicaragua,
involving an outraged spider monkey and a rotten latrine.

LIVING ABROAD IN NICARAGUA
Also
co-written with Randall Wood, this new title is for those considering
an extended or permanent visit to the Land of Lakes and Volcanoes.
Part of Avalon Travel Publishing's Living Abroad In series, this
book is filled with useful knowledge the authors learned during their
combined 8 years living and working in Nicaragua. It also draws from
their vast network of Nicaraguan and expat friends, giving the goods
on things like: where to live, where to learn Spanish, rental considerations,
real-estate rules, labor laws, etc.
