Gonzo razzle-dazzle verbal fireworks!" Robert Martin, Editor of The Dalhousie Review "Pacey, witty insightful stuff. Travel writing as it should be!" Jack Barker, Editor of Travelmag "Grips you, holds you, and leaves you with something profound!" Chris Ord, Editor of Travel Rag "An ideal traveling companion who brings lingual acuity, historical perspective, and razor-sharp irony along for the ride." Tom Dooley, Editor of Eclectica Literary Journal "Funny, literary, and hard-hitting. Professor Fuchs combines the humor of Twain, the alpha adventure of Hemingway, and the romantic sensitivity of Steinbeck. Just wish I was the one publishing it." John Kemmerly, Editor of Bluefoot Publishing "No one since Hunter S. Thompson has loved the wild and woolly world with as much intensity, insight, passion and gusto as Lyn Fuchs in his new collection of travel writing Sacred Ground & Holy Water: Travel Tales of Enlightenment. From Africa, Central America, India, the Pacific Northwest, and back again, Lyn´s rambunctious dispatches from the far corners of our strange globe arrive with the full force of whitewater plunging from mountains, lava burning the very soles from our hiking boots. So delicious are the bountiful meals he eats, so beautiful the foreign lasses he dallies with, nothing is left for the reader but a searing jealousy, an aching desire to be out there ourselves. Thompson, rest his soul, would be proud." Tony D´Souza, Author of Whiteman, The Konkans, and Mule
