It has been divided into ten 'chapters' for posting and display purposes but the original book, published in 2013, had no chapters. This is an online presentation of the original book. No other edits have been or will be made. It is finished. This journey is not my life. Yet, it is also the beginning of my journey. In 2013, I set out in a truck and travel trailer to live the life of a nomad author.
