Introduction

Roberta Sotonoff is an award-winning travel junkie who writes to support her habit. She can be found anywhere - in a plane feasting on pretzels, in the water exploring the deep, destroying her body while swinging from jungle canopies or stumbling up and down mountains. At other times, she is chained to her computer trying to meet deadlines.
