Dark rum and ginger beer - I MUST TRY THAT!apple cider-cured bacon! Patti's going to like you :)
Gingerlily - they serve that bacon at my husband's brew pub - I limit myself to one piece per visit or I would eat pans full - perhaps put us out of business! ;-)
Just off to make a bacon roll...

Ha, great minds think alike. That was my reaction too.

Gingerlily - what's a bacon roll?Pat - I wonder if there is a bacon-loving writers listopia. ;-)
Its in my stomach right now!Its a bread roll, with lots of butter, and a couple of slices of bacon. Plus the condiments of your choice. Something like a hot dog, but with bacon. The bacon grease combines with the butter to make something really very addictive..
Ah ha!I knew I smelled bacon!
Welcome Kristine!
Thank you so much! I think I will have to try making a bacon roll. Sounds down right wicked ;-)
My name is Kristine K. Stevens, and I wrote a nonfiction travel book, "If Your Dream Doesn't Scare You, It Isn't Big Enough: A Solo Journey Around the World."
WHAT I LIKE TO READ: Travel, nonfiction, memoir (looking for UK reads in those genres)
WHERE I LIVE: Sultry Savannah, Georgia, USA (LOVE it, but I also love leaving it every chance I can get and feel great joy when I get back to it.)
WHAT I LIKE TO DRINK: I should say beer because my husband co-owns a local brew pub, but honestly I like a dark rum and ginger beer - called a Dark & Stormy
WHAT I LIKE TO EAT: Sheet cake, Cherry Garcia ice cream, apple cider-cured bacon, toffee-coated peanuts, crispy pizza with ham and pineapple, popcorn (no fake butter), sweet corn, mashed potatoes, and a lot of other stuff my new trainer frowns upon.
WHAT I LIKE TO WEAR: Cargo shorts, fitted T-shirts, Tevas, cat poultices (a live cat draped upon my body)
HOW I AM GROWING: I just published my first book (whew!), so I decided my next accomplishment should be in a new direction - thus I am training to complete the half of the Rock N' Roll Marathon this fall. (They tell me I don't have to run it all, but if I finish it, I get a medal!)
ABOUT MY BOOK
In honor of her 40th birthday, Kristine K. Stevens sold her house, quit her job and traveled solo around the world.
Carrying a backpack and the naïve belief that the trip was nothing more than a six-month-long vacation, she hit the road. As her journey moved on and off the beaten tourist path, she braved a monsoon in Zanzibar, a safari in Kenya, trekking in Nepal, kayaking in Thailand, caves in Laos, red plaid fish and lava in Hawaii, and grizzly bears in Alaska.
Little did Kristine know that she was completing a pilgrimage that would change her life forever.
Told with wonder, humor and suspense, with historical facts woven into the tale, "If Your Dream Doesn't Scare You, It Isn't Big Enough" captures the twisted, unpredictable nature of global travel.
FORMAL AUTHOR BIO
After graduating from Purdue University, Kristine K. Stevens took vacations to Costa Rica, Japan and France, which ignited her passion for travel.
"Travel gives me a sense of freedom and enlightenment," she says. "It frees me from the expectations of my own culture, and it shows me how intriguing and diverse life can be."
When her 40th birthday was approaching, she evaluated her life and ended up selling her house, quitting her job and traveling around the world. Her first book, "If Your Dream Doesn't Scare You, It Isn't Big Enough: A Solo Journey Around the World" tells the story of what happened during her adventure.
Kristine now works at the Savannah College of Art and Design as the senior web content manager. She continues to have a weak spot for Snickers bars, Pringles potato chips and Fanta Orange sodas, which were an integral part of the trip.
Although she thrives in Savannah, Georgia--despite its monstrous palmetto bugs, Kristine is plotting another global adventure, this time focusing on the Pacific Rim.
