Ever since my memoir Kingbird Highway was published in 1997, readers have been asking me when I would write a sequel. After all, various people pointed out, the story told in that memoir ended before my 20th birthday, so surely I must have more material by now! I do, and many of my more recent adventures are described in Flights Against the Sunset, published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in spring 2008. I will be giving public programs and book signings in several major cities in conjunction with the publication of this book; more information on these appearances is below and will be updated during the year. | |||||||||||

In January 2009 I'll be a leader on a trip to the Falkland Islands, South Georgia Island, and the Antarctic Peninsula, sponsored by Victor Emanuel Nature Tours. This will be my fifth trip as a lecturer to this astounding region of the globe, but I have to say that every trip there feels like the trip of a lifetime. The island of South Georgia, with its rich history of exploration and its remarkable numbers of seabirds, is every bit as phenomenal as the Antarctic continent itself, and a must for any world traveler. More information on this extraordinary voyage may be found here. | |||||||||||
