Saint Clare of Assisi: Light from the Cloister (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781505121308)

Bret has a master's degree in Italian from Middlebury College, a BA from the University of Georgia, and a certificate in Franciscan Studies. He is an FAA-licensed pilot and flew professionally for six years logging over 3,500 hours of flight time. After leaving flying, he started organizing and accompanying tours and pilgrimages to Italy for the company he founded in 2004.

Bret began writing initially to provide material for participants on his participants. That turned into a hobby, and then an avocation. To date, he has written six books, numerous articles, and has translated over a dozen from Italian to English.

Bret enjoys reading, watching films, hiking, sailing Laser dinghies, and playing with his kids.

He lives in Loreto, Italy with his wife and three children.
