Summertime here in Southern China seems to last a lot longer than the three months the season is designated on the calendar. But how much of summer is just the heat? I maintain summer is a state of mind, and I write about books that help us capture that feeling in this week's post on Novel Adventurers. Happy reading! http://noveladventurers.blogspot.com/2012/08/books-that-feel-like-summer.html

 This week on Novel Adventurers we're looking at poetry around the world. Like books, in poetry I'm always seeking a story, a place, a description that will transport me. One of my lifelong favorite poets is Canadian Robert Service, who wrote verse about the Gold Rush. Please visit the site and see the blog. Happy reading!

 A sample of beers from my last trip to Australia. This week on Novel Adventurers we're writing about beverages around the world--and I'm making a confession that isn't really a secret.
You see, I'm a beer snob. http://noveladventurers.blogspot.com/2012/06/history-of-beer-snob.html And while you're there, don't forget to check out the other great posts about drinks around the world. Cheers!  This week I was pleased to learn one of my stories has made it through the first round of consideration for the upcoming anthology Not Your Mother's Book...On Travel, which will be released this fall. More information about this anthology series can be found at www.PublishingSyndicate.com.
And of course I'll be posting more news as I get it!  Foshan's TV tower is a handy landmark. Today my latest eChinacities.com article has posted, this one about Foshan, a small (I think there's 7 million inhabitants--so, only small by Chinese standards) city that neighbors Guangzhou. The two cities are linked by public transportation and a shared history here on the Pearl River Delta.

Temperatures (and sticky humidity) are rising in the Pearl River Delta. This week for eChinacities.com, I've written about how to stay cool in Guanghzou.
http://www.echinacities.com/guangzhou/city-life/beat-the-heat-this-summer-places-to-cool-down-in.html This week on Novel Adventurers, we're blogging about funerals and death rituals around the world. Sounds macabre? Maybe, but it's also interesting! Check out the link to my post, on China, and don't forget to browse through the other bloggers' offerings as well. http://noveladventurers.blogspot.com/2012/05/from-dynasty-to-dust.html?showComment=1337219521372#c3994236339426844598
