GOOD MORNING CORFU chronicles the experiences of an American expatriate living on Corfu Island in Greece. From wide-eyed wonder to cultural and personal confusion, from unbridled joy to deep despair, and from empathy to outright loathing, these short essays examine both local and expatriate lifestyles through the lens of one deeply immersed yet forever removed, fundamentally involved yet perpetually on the perimeter of a most curious culture.

In this whimsical novel, a star-crossed weekend sailor is shipwrecked on a wayward South Seas island. Stranded there by the trickery of a Hawaiian kahuna, and accompanied only by his sagacious parrot, Julian Crosby eventually meets the island’s only other human resident, a soft-spoken siren who seems at once out of place yet somehow thoroughly natural to her environment.
As Julian is initiated by the longtime foundling in the ways of this Shangri-La, the female solitary alludes time and again to a past that seems to suggest a solution to one of the century’s inimitable mysteries – the disappearance of 1930’s flying ace Amelia Earhart. Is it somehow possible that the missing aviatrix is still alive?
One man, one woman: alone in paradise. But in the denouement of a ferocious storm, the castaway finds he must confront the preconceived limits of his courage and ingenuity, even in Paradise.
