I am thrilled to be able to treat you to sometimes hilarious (and sometimes perilous) 
tales
about my research treks worldwide to write the 
17 novels in my internationally renowned Honor Series. 

You’ll hear about how I survived pirates in Colombia, 
about an African cobra test of manhood in Marrakech, 
and about high society as guest author on the Queen Mary 2
You’ll go back in time while ascending the Mekong River, 
facing voodoo in the Haitian jungle, 

and hunting with stone-age tribesmen in New Guinea. 
You’ll share the joy of Cuba’s incredible culture 
and meeting wonderful people everywhere. 

This will truly be a luncheon to remember!
