The basic theme of this short fictional story evolves around our main character, whose name is Joey Zee. Joey comes from an urban middle class family which includes his Mother, Grandmother and her old red, ever squawking parakeet named ‘Blue’. He is just like any other normal six year old kid who’s looking forward to his first day at Newell Elementary School. However, Joey soon becomes troubled about the perceived way in which he is being treated there. With this in mind, he decides to quit school. As you can imagine, Joey’s decision causes quite a stir at home when his Mother is contacted by his first grade teacher, Ms. Noble, who has grown concerned about the pupils' unexplained absence. In the end, however; with the love and understanding of both his family and teacher; our little Joey comes to learn a few valuable lessons about himself…and life. …Lessons, which I believe, we all could profit from.

"Vagabonds in France" is a lighthearted book about an unexpected travel adventure to France. Find out how life threw a lemon at us with losing our home, and our attempt to make lemonade. Putting all our furniture in storage, we left everything behind to experience an adventure of a lifetime. With no mortgage or rent to pay, we left with no return date or home to come back to. Exploring for 9 weeks, we traveled from Florida (Tampa and Key West), to Portugal (Funchal, Madeira), to Spain (Malaga, Cartagena, and Barcelona), to the C�te d'Azur in the south of France (Antibes, Nice, Eze, St. Paul de Vence), to Provence (Arles, Avignon), then a month in Paris. Come with my wife and me and see this country's amazing beauty, along with all the humorous cultural differences and "what the hell" moments you'll get a kick out of. Climb mountains, descend into the Paris Metro, dodge pickpockets, endure nasty weather and illness, and witness the flood of the century with us. Experience some wonderful and not-so-wonderful people. Chuckle with me as we live among the French and try to learn their ways and language. Then make it back home to an empty rental home we found online. Readers say they feel like they are right there with us on the journey, and laugh out loud, especially from the "Bathroom Reports". This book, with its 75 photograph illustrations, is available now on Amazon in both paperback (black and white illustrations) and Kindle (color illustrations)!
