As a writer of travelogues, Louis DeCarlo has been there and done that. Unfortunately, his most recent travels have left him with a case of writer's block-lost and devoid of vision. He needs a break. More than that, he needs an adventure. Enter the Chief: a man who has not only been there and done that but has experienced and embraced both the people and the places, as well. However, for all he's seen and done, he too has become lost and empty and in need of something new. Both men are searching for their next great story but don't know how or where to find it. Oddly enough, they discover the answer in a bottle at a bar where they meet. It seems a strange solution and an even stranger pairing, but what ensues is a journey to find not only the key to cracking Louis's writer's block but also the Chief's five elements to happiness and, ultimately, themselves. The men travel from place to place, seeing sights and meeting people, while drinking, dining, laughing, crying, and enjoying life and learning lessons along the way. Excursions with the Chief is more than a mere trip-it's a cross-country adventure of a lifetime.

In January 1929, in a grimy, working-class neighborhood on the south bank of the Thames, Eileen Gwynneth Yvonne Redfern was born. From her inauspicious beginning as the unwelcome third occupant of Old Ma Tanners one-room apartment on Coin Street to an eighteen-year-old on the brink of university life, author Gwen Southgate weaves a fascinating story of a vanished time and a way of life on Londons old south bank. In this memoir, telling tales of the 1930s and 1940s, Gwen provides a glimpse into a broader tapestry portraying the sweep of life in Britain as seen through the eyes of a young girl. Among its many colorful and lively characters are the big-hearted, chain-smoking Aunt-mum; yarn-spinning, practical joker Grampa Benson; and Gwens feisty, much-married mother. After a wartime evacuation from London opens wider horizons, Gwen shares how she managed to survive in a world where the mere stealing of a spoonful of rice pudding could lead to dire consequences and even the enjoyment of a Sunday walk was condemned as sinful. Coin Street Chronicles paints a vivid and captivating portrait of Britain and her people before, during, and after World War II.
