The Gypsy on Travel with Rick Steves
I was recently a guest on Rick Steves' radio show.  Check it out: The Gypsy on Travel with Rick Steves.

My Book
A big thank you to travel guru Rick Steves for having me on his show! We had a great conversation about Rome, Michelangelo, and our mutual love for great art.  If you missed the broadcast on your local PBS station, you can listen to it online:
You can also listen to the program on iTunes.  Look for Barcelona; Michelangelo's Rome.

And if you haven't purchased my book yet, what are you waiting for?  A Journey into Michelangelo's Rome is available at most major booksellers including Amazon.com.  Heck! I'd even be happy to autograph it for you.  Leave a comment, and I'll contact you with more details.

Michelangelo's Rome on Rick Steves' Radio Show

My book -- do you have it?
I'm very excited to announce that I will be a guest on Rick Steves' radio show this weekend, August 21-22.  We will be talking about Michelangelo and Rome -- two of my favorite subjects -- as well as my book, A Journey into Michelangelo's Rome.

For a list of stations and air times, check this link:
If your local NPR station doesn't offer Travel with Rick Steves, you can listen to it anytime after August 22 from the audio archives on Rick Steves' website.  It will also be available as a podcast on i-Tunes and other podcast directories.

And, for Northern California fans of Rick Steves, I will have a big announcement next week -- a fantastic opportunity to hang out with Rick Steves!  More details to come!  

See you on the radio!
