Top Ten Tuesday – Books that Feature Travel

Happy Tuesday, readers! Today’s Top Ten topic is “Books that Feature Travel.” Normally, I try to feature other authors’ books on the Top Ten Tuesday, but today’s topic was too perfect for my own that I couldn’t resist giving them some love. All of my novels, except for one, involve extensive travel. In real life, I don’t travel very much, so it’s been fun to visit all sorts of places through the power of words. Below the picture, I’ve listed where each book travels to and the mode of transportation used, so if you don’t want spoilers, make sure not to scroll too far!

• Across Oceans – From England to St. Louis, MO, includes steamship, train, and motorcar
• Twisted River – From St. Louis to London, England, includes, steamship, train, motorcar, and streetcar/trolley
• Unsettled Shores – From New York to London, England then from London to the French Countryside, includes steamship, train, motorcar, and bicycles
• For a Noble Purpose – From Charleston, South Carolina to Missouri to Washington Territory, includes covered wagons and lots of walking
• Dusk Shall Weep – From southern Washington State to Seattle, Washington, includes canoes and lots of walking
• Sparks Fly Upward – From Washington State to San Francisco, California to Georgia to Charleston, South Carolina and back to San Francisco, includes sailing ships, a sailing/steam ship, train, wagons, walking, and even a raft
• Stars in the Storm – From southern Washington State to Astoria, Oregon to Deception Pass, Washington, includes sailing ships and lots of walking

Have you read any of these? What is your favorite mode of transportation to read about?
