This collection of poetry, prose and journal excerpts was composed during a fifteen-year period that I was mostly nomadic. I traveled at least six months a year, living a peripatetic life, and preferred overland journeys; at the end of this collection is my travel bio. I've left the writings in their original state, in the hopes that they will convey the feelings of the time better not cleaned up. My journals were also full of maps, drawings, and quotes that I'd either read or overheard, and they found a home here. Overall, my hope is the combination might bring you to places. Thanks for taking the time and sharing the road with me.…mehr

Autorenporträt
Robert Louis DeMayo is a native of Hollis, N.H., but traveled through many corners of the planet before settling in the Southwest. He took up writing at the age of twenty when he left his job as a biomedical engineer to explore the world. Over a ten-year period-the last decade before the internet-DeMayo completed ten six-month trips abroad and visited close to 100 countries, crossing many of them overland.His extensive journaling during his travels inspired four of his novels and far-reaching work for the travel section of The Telegraph, out of Nashua, NH, as well as the Hollis Times. He is a longtime member of The Explorers Club and chair of its Southwest Chapter.His undying hunger for exploration led to a job marketing for Eos Study Tours, a company that served as a travel office for six non-profit organizations and offered dives to the Titanic and the Bismarck, Antarctic voyages, African safaris and archaeological tours throughout the world. For several years after that, Robert worked as a tour guide in Alaska, during the summers, leading hikes and horseback excursions in the Yukon, and as a jeep guide in Arizona during the winter. He was made general manager of the Arizona Jeep tour company but eventually left the guiding world to write full-time.The last few years have seen him exploring US soil, usually for writing projects, in Utah's Zion, Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, Sedona and the Verde Valley, Hawaii, the Badlands of North Dakota, and Aroostook County in northern Maine.This November, he will publish American Literary Nomads and, the next fall, a historical mystery in Maine entitled Winding Hill Road.Currently, he resides in Sedona, AZ, and spends his time with his three daughters: Tavish Lee, Saydrin Scout, and Martika Louise.
