1949 Jeepster & "Travelling Light" reviews

"A master at making action convey a character’s inner state" —Globe & Mail, Canada's national newspaper.

"Nothing can make time stand still. But careful attention to detail can act as a kind of antidote to time’s relentless and sometimes frenzied passage. Astute observers miss less of life and the world around them. If they write well, they can share that gift with the rest of us." —The Gazette (Montreal)
"Travelling Light is a rich collection of short stories. The writer, Peter Behrens, often seems to have a Polaroid eye, using words to freeze scenes and allow the reader to immediately visualize what he is portraying." —Toronto Star
Book party at Betsy's Sunflower in Brooklin, Maine for my new collection of short stories, Travelling Light. Our Texas friend Jorge turned up in a brand-new/old 1949 Jeepster
