About Darcy
I started as a fiction writer, so when I travel, I'm looking for larger-than-life characters who define their settings. I'm looking for landmarks and foods, historic sites and wildlife encounters that open doors to stories that define the place. A good short story has a lot in common with an engaging travel piece. My latest book is a memoir of life in small town Czechoslovakia just after the Berlin Wall fell and just before the Russian army went home - "Not Like the Stars At All."
