Barhopping in the Basque Country

In my latest novella, Gnarly, I talk about food a lot. Partly because one of the main characters owns a bar, but also because the Basque people in general are passionate about food. Some of the finest chefs and restaurants in the region can be found in the coastal town of San Sebastian, the beautiful city featured in my long novella. Today I'm going to share my love for the region with photos and a few recipes I've included in my blog tours.






This is a typical bar scene with a wide variety of p...

Inspiration Shots: The Basque Country

I thought I'd share a few photos I took last summer when I was visiting my family in San Sebastian, Spain. My new release, Gnarly , was inspired by this town. The Basque's are passionate about food and San Sebastian is famous for Pintxos (also known as tapas). There are more top-rated restaurants in this coastal town than anywhere else in Europe. If you ever get a chance to go to Spain, put the Basque Country on your must-see list. It's worth the journey.
