About The Author

"Growing up in the internationally loved city of New Orleans, with all its delicious food, unique music, and its eccentric and sometimes backward culture, I realized early on that I wanted to get out and see the rest of the world."

- Jeffrey Pipes Guice

Jeffrey Pipes Guice worked for years in New Orleans, Washington D.C., and New York City but still found time to journey worldwide. He traversed Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa and even found time to observe penguins in Antarctica. He also spent time visiting exciting cities like Jerusalem, Havana, Yemen, Moscow, London, Paris, Cairo, Marrakesh, Argentina, and Phuket, all searching for purpose. The only place Guice never set out to discover was inside himself.

Poetry and short stories are mixed into this collection of lyrical works, which express the excitement of his learning and insights gained from his lifetime of travel, adventure, and literature- sprinkled with a bit of locally seasoned introspection.

His ninth book, "Marie Laveau" is his journey through travel, history, legends, literature, and photography.
