ABOUT CHASING SNAILS

Michael Carleton is a writer spending his days wrapped in family in the south of France, cooking for five, sometimes more.  Strangers in a friendly land of rosemary, wine, woodsmoke at dusk, and banks of wild fennel.  As a playwright, he has enjoyed over 600 productions of his works around the globe, and is a lifetime member of the Actors Studio.  He is, in the words of his extraordinary wife, the luckiest sonofabitch on the planet.

You can order Michael’s collection of travel-inspired short stories, “Not From Around Here…” on Amazon.
His play, “Every Christmas Story Ever Told!” is available through Playscripts.com
