Stealing Away, winner of a 2021 PenCraft Book Award, is his first collection of stories, partly set in the Midwest, partly abroad. He is the author of 15 other books, including Wisconsin's Best Beer Guide, Backroads & Byways Wisconsin, Best Tent Camping Wisconsin, and The Yogurt Man Cometh: Tales of an American Teacher in Turkey. His articles have appeared in The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and Sydney Morning Herald. A frequent guest on Wisconsin Public Radio, he lives in Madison, Wisconsin.
