The Hazelnut Grove
On the surface a young professional couple, Sarah and Luke craved a different, more self-sufficient life. They traded the comfort of a two-bedroom English cottage for a derelict house in northwest Italy. The Hazelnut Grove explores the joys and demands of daring to live in search of a dream.Sarah and Luke's chosen life is part fairy tale, part story of courage and self-reliance as their new neighbour, nicknamed il Cattivo, the nasty one, decides to make war over the desolate hazelnut grove, a two metre strip of land behind their house. Their story is interspersed with anecdotes drawn from the author's family's holiday cottage in rural France.As events unfold that might have driven them away, especially Sarah, who does not share Luke's Italian heritage, a picture emerges not only of how the Italian life has tested Sarah, but also of how she discovered in herself both a grand obstinacy and a respect for the materials and objects of that life. A chunk of rusting metal becomes, in Sarah's eyes, an artefact with potential. Sarah becomes an artist.Set in Piedmont, renowned for its wine and food, a story of abundance and thriving slowly emerges against the challenges of a menacing neighbour, the deaths of beloved animals and the loneliness of getting to grips with an unfamiliar language and culture.When asked by English friends: 'Would you ever move back home again?' Luke and Sarah can only answer: 'We are home.'Author biographyPaula Read started out as a journalist and subsequently trained as a languages teacher. She lives in London now but has also lived and worked in France, Canada (where she worked as a French/English interpreter) and the USA. The Hazelnut Grove is about the joys and woes of moving to another European country at a time when Europe signified something to be part of not a place to escape from.She has had several short stories published and is currently working on a second non-fiction book about the fate of forced labourers from occupied France in World War II.

Farmhouse Ale Quest
This is the story of how I discovered the existence of a tradition for brewing beer at home that goes back to the Stone Age, and started diving into it. The story is recounted through posts I published on my blog 2010-2015, documenting how I found this type of brewing in isolated areas in Norway and Lithuania. It also tells the story of how I discovered a so far unknown type of beer yeast called "kveik".

Tuscany in July
I met my cousin Salvatore for the first time a few years ago in Sicily while visiting his mother, my cousin, Maria. After that, we kept in touch by email and social media. One day he texted me a video of an Andrea Bocelli concert that he attended. I told him I had seen Andrea in NYC at Radio City Music Hall with my friend Franceen and hoped to see him again one day. A week later, I received another text message from Salvatore with a blurry photo. I replied saying that I couldn't see the photo and asked what it was. He texted, "Your tickets for July 27, 2019, to see Andrea in Tuscany." Can you imagine how flabbergasted I was when Salvatore extended an invitation to visit him in Pisa and to attend the Andrea Bocelli Concert at the Theatre of Silence in Tuscany? He said, "You can stay as long as you want, a day, a week, or a year. There is so much more to see and explore." Wow! Tuscany in July! It truly was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

The Cinque Terre
Cinque Terre is not a Disney Theme Park; its unique environment results from thousands of human civilizations surviving and adapting to challenging conditions. You can take a boat tour, visit the five towns in three hours, and rightfully claim that you have been to the Cinque Terre; millions of tourists do just that. Suppose you want a more profound, more complete experience. In that case, this guide gives you all the information you need to plan a more extended staying, with details on the restaurants, the places where you can have a drink, where you can sleep, and where you can buy unique souvenirs from each of the five villages. It also lists the places you should visit. Cinque Terre is the place for walking experiences; the guide presents all the trails, from the simplest to the most difficult ones, even outside the Cinque Terre's proper area. The courses have an illustration so you can see and decide where to go. The guide also lists the bicycle rental places and the itineraries for a regular and electric bicycle tour. There is a long tradition of culinary excellence; the pesto has its origin here. This culinary tradition also comes from the nearby Magra Valley area. It is now very much frequented by culinary experts, even if it is not as famous as the internationally known main attraction. It's an even better deal, good quality of the service, in a less crowded environment for superior service. If you come to the area, don't miss the opportunity to expand your experience. The Liguria region's cuisine is rich and varied; at the end of the guide, you have a section covering all its recipes; the links are active when you have an internet connection. You have access to a recipe database for some of them. You will be able to cook at home some of the dishes that you tasted while visiting or dreamed of enjoying it. It's not the same as consuming the specialty sitting at a restaurant table in the Piazza of Vernazza, but at least it is better than nothing!

Farm Girl Becomes World Traveler
In 2020 I became 80 years old, and I suddenly realize that if I don't write my memoir now, I will either die first or become so old my mind will not allow me to remember anything to write!!! So here goes-I will go straight through my life and get it done, no matter how literal or exciting (?) it is or isn't!!! I know I have had a very good life, although it has not been without some pain and sadness. Hopefully, I have become stronger from it all. God's help has been continual, and I am very grateful for the training provided by my dear parents and my various churches-Methodist, Catholic, and Lutheran. I remember getting a pin for attending 13 years of Sunday School without missing a Sunday. When we went on vacation, my Sunday School Superintendent mother always found a place for us to visit.
Writing in Ice
If you had to choose a new location for a crime series, where would you look? Michael Ridpath had to do just that. He chose Iceland, a country of fjords, glaciers and volcanoes, of long, manic summer days and long, sinister winter evenings, a place where everyone is on Facebook and everyone's grandmother has spoken to an elf.This is his account of researching the country: the breathtaking landscape, its vigorous if occasionally odd people, the great heroes and heroines of its sagas, and (of course) those troublesome elves; with a little bit thrown in about how to put together a good detective story.Entertaining and informative, it's a guide to Iceland for the visitor, and a guide to crime writing for the reader.

Bloggers Guide to Arctic Finland
The Bloggers Guide To Arctic Finland is a compilation of the author's blog articles over 10 years. The first blog that Victor started was way back in 2009. That early blog was named Nordic Cuisine Focus. The blog content covers 12-holiday destinations in the Arctic Finland region that Victor enjoyed visiting, working at, photographing, and writing content on and publishing. The articles were focused mainly on the natural Nordic environment, Finland, regional produce, ingredients, nature, traditional culture, and cuisine. Finland's documented history of the last 1000 years is a fascinating resource to learn more about the people of the Nordic region. Finland has 600 years of modern history, 400 years under the rule of Swedish kings, 100 years under Russian rule, and 100 years of coexistence with Soviet Russia. The collective time that Finland's people have served under these foreign rulers for 500 years was never invited or voluntary.Victor writes about 12 Arctic Finland travel destinations where he has worked, skied, snowboarded, trekked, traveled, and photographed. A brief layout of Lapland municipalities is included, with West, East, North, and central Rovaniemi, Lapland. There are many Nordic cuisine-related pictures, travel routes, location maps, historical facts, and traditional Nordic Cuisine flavor recipes. A fascinating story with pictures and maps of how the 1939-1940 Baltic Sea blockade was diverted via the Arctic Sea Route to the Port of Petsamo in Arctic Finland supplies the city Rovaniemi. From there distributed throughout Finland and Sweden.

My Love Affair With Italy
As a 17-year old Italian American from New Jersey, Debbie became obsessed with the idea of traveling to Italy, and during the summer after completing her junior year in high school, she realized her dream when her parents agreed to send her on a student tour for 40 days with no one she knew. Friendships form with another American student, and with Cesare, an Italian medical student living in the same "hotel." But what transpires is something no one ever expected, especially her mom. Over the next 45 years, Debbie returns 11 more times, mostly alone. Other trips include her two best friends, another with her father, and one horseback riding adventure in the Chianti Region of Tuscany with cousins. Some of the places visited include Rome, Tuscany, the Almalfi Coast, Sicily, Capri, and a 2,500 year-old village in Umbria where the only mode of transportation allowed is a moped or donkey. One hundred years after her great grandmother migrated to America, Debbie locates her family in the most unusual way, culminating with a heartwarming reception. Rarely staying in hotels, My Love Affair With Italy describes each of the trips, all the types of accommodations such as the agriturismi (farmhouses), the apartments, vineyards, the medieval villages, monastery, villas, and horseback riding centers she stayed in addition to the romances and friends met along the way. At the age of 50, Debbie learns how to horseback ride English style and takes a 100-mile tour cantering through Tuscany, something she was not nearly qualified to do. Within a year, she becomes an exchange student and enrolls in school in Siena, one of Tuscany's most magnificent cities, to learn Italian and moves in with a local family, she not knowing Italian and they not knowing English. While in school, she befriends a German woman who invites her to stay at her home in the beautiful Bavarian Alps during her next visit to Europe, and Debbie accepts in an attempt to practice Italian with her former classmate, but the trip becomes a shocking revelation. The book also details the "jewels" of Rome not mentioned in brochures such as The Scala Sancta, the Holy Stairs, holy because they are said to be the stairs that Jesus climbed on his way to his trial before Pontius Pilate, and the Aventine Keyhole, a nondescript-looking door on the Aventine Hill, neatly placing the dome of St. Peter's right in the center. Each trip also details why she returns each time, the struggles endured at home after becoming a caregiver, the 50-year friendships that get her through it all, and the shocking way her father shows his presence in Piazza Navona. Lastly, four decades after it all began, there are very surprising reunions and the most unusual romance.
