The Slow Route Home (The Radical Routes Series Book 1)

Miguel has sold his truck and bought a mule. Everyone in the village believes he is crazy, but Miguel follows a wisdom far greater than those that mock him. Miguel's neighbours, his dog and the strange neighbour with the burnt trees are about to learn the benefits of going slow.

This short story is the first part of the Radical Routes trilogy featuring the pooch of great wisdom, or the Hound. It takes place amongst the olive groves of inland Andalusia. Miguel's desire to live the way he thinks the world should be may confound his neighbours, but his simple philosophy and way of life symbolise another path open to us all.

Part 2, Inside the Tortilla, takes the Hound to the very heart of Andalusia, and a small town, tucked in a valley between the cities of Granada, Seville and Malaga. There he is introduced to a cast of characters and discovers a series of recipes for another way off living.

In Part 3, The Way of the Hound, and on route to that great kennel in the sky, the Hound pauses to reflect back on what he has learned, and what he needed to say to the human race - from a rather low, and four-legged perspective.
