Exciting News . . . SALENTO BY 5 is now published and available in Italy!

While were in Otranto this past July, the Italian edition of our book was launched by the publisher, AnimaMundi. The publisher arranged for a celebratory gathering for our book and two others that it had also just released. Here, we have the authors and members of the publisher's staff gathered for the festivities. There was Champaign and congratulations all around—an evening that Audrey and I will not forget. Unfortunately, our co-authors, Carlo, Lucia and Luciana could not be present since the ceremony was organized at the last minute—the day the printer delivered the books and the night before our flight.
