Book Description
Emily Davis is ready for a summer adventure. She has been teaching school in Ohio for 15 years. She and her fiance had planned a travel vacation for their honeymoon, but that was cancelled when he was killed in Iraq. Now, Emily decides to take the vacation on her own, much to the chagrin of her best friend Rosie. Undaunted by Rosie's fear, Emily takes off alone in her five year old Beetle. A mystery begins with an adventure in Wisconsin when an Indian predicts her summer will revolve around Native Americans. As she continues traveling, Emily's mystery grows with each chance meeting with Indians. What does the prickling sensation that Emily feels mean? Why do the same names keep reappearing? Is there some final mystery to be solved? Emily's travels take her through Wisconsin, Minnesota, and South Dakota where she encounters a native who resents her intrusion. She faces a life threatening dilemma before the mystery is solved and her adventure ends. The story is a work of fiction, but the places mentioned for the most part actually exist and are places where the author has personally traveled. The author's knowledge of Native Americans, used while teaching language arts for 26 years, plus a vivid imagination weave an intriguing mystery.

Book Description
Two major trends have recently swept the travel world: the first, an overwhelming desire (thanks to Elizabeth Gilbert’s bestseller, Eat, Pray, Love) to write one’s own memoir; the second, an explosion of social media, blogs, twitter and texts, which allow travelers to document and share their experiences instantaneously. Thus, the act of chronicling one’s journey has never been more popular, nor the urge stronger. Writing Away: A Creative Guide to Awakening the Journal-Writing Traveler, will inspire budding memoirists and jetsetting scribes alike. But Writing Away doesn’t stop there—author Lavinia Spalding spins the romantic tradition of keeping a travelogue into a modern, witty adventure in awareness, introducing the traditional handwritten journal as a profoundly valuable tool for self-discovery, artistic expression, and spiritual growth. Writing Away teaches you to embrace mishaps in order to enrich your travel experience, recognize in advance what you want to remember, tap into all your senses, and connect with the physical world in an increasingly technological age. It helps you overcome writer’s block and procrastination; tackle the discipline, routine, structure, and momentum that are crucial to the creative process; and it demonstrates how traveling—while keeping a journal along the way—is the world’s most valuable writing exercise.
