Karl Samson and Jane Aukshunas , husband–and–wife travel–writing team, find that the sunny winter skies of the Arizona desert are the perfect antidote to the dreary winters of their Pacific Northwest home. Each winter, they flee the rain to explore Arizona′s deserts, mountains, cities, and small towns. It is the state′s unique regional style, Native American cultures, abundance of contemporary art, and, of course, boundless landscapes that keep the duo fascinated by Arizona. Summers find the team researching their other books, including Frommer′s Washington, Frommer′s Oregon , and Frommer′s Seattle & Portland .
