Welcome to my website. I love to travel and write. After returning from four months in Haines, Alaska where my wife, dog and I volunteered as campground hosts in Chilkat State Park, I resumed the final polishing of my novel, with a working title of "Broken Collar." Editors from Bottom Dog Press eagerly await the manuscript: http://smithdocs.net and experience some Alaskan pristine wilderness, or scroll to carnaval in Rio de Janeiro; to the lost world of Mt. Roraima, Venezuela, or attend a genuine Vodoo Ceremony in West Africa. Our travel stories are casual and honestly human. Whether we ride camels in Morocco's Sahara or brawl in a bar in Spain., my wife, Mare shoots the photos and I write as we enjoy the privilege of exploring the planet.
