Does living abroad equate with easy living? How green is the grass over there, anyways? Having spent years living in various European countries, the author presents the absurd, the mundane, and the sometimes sublime situations that the cultural sojourner experiences. A collection of non-fiction and fiction, Stories from elsewhere will make you laugh out loud, and perhaps even lead you to consider your place - and your country's place - in the world around you. A must-read for anyone who has spent time in a foreign land (or dreams of it) and a good starting point for those considering a move...

Bohemian and hedonistic, Elijah Counts is an unlikely provider of answers to the meaning of life, but he unwittingly does so in Every Thing Counts as he stumbles through Central Europe in search of identity, integrity and love. Finding all of these in Liliana, a Czech university student, and literally following his dreams, Elijah's path transforms him into a husband, a father, a modern-day mystic, and ultimately a reader of the fabled Akashic Records. A novel for all would-be seekers, Every Thing Counts is inspirational and thought-provoking.
