Raised deep in the mountains of West Virginia, Jason Frye first fell in love with North Carolina as a kid during family vacations to the Outer Banks. In 2002, he swapped his mountains for sand dunes and his river for an ocean when he moved to Wilmington to pursue a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing. There, his love for North Carolina deepened into a longing to stay, settle, explore, and be a part of the people, culture, and history of the state. Along with his wife, Lauren, Jason has kayaked the marshes and waterways near his home; hang glided off the Outer Banks; explored the cityscapes of Charlotte, Raleigh, and Winston-Salem; and wandered the woods and wilds around Asheville. Jason has contributed stories to VisitNC.com, AAA's Go Magazine, Our State magazine, and the Wilmington Star News, where he's a restaurant reviewer. He is also a food blogger for Our State Eats.

In all, they have hundreds of titles, ranging Bermuda to Budapest, that'll teach you to embrace a new culture. --Gear Patrol, The Best Travel Guidebooks for Every Journey Moon guides are perfect for the relaxed road tripper or outdoor explorer. --No Small Plan Moon handbooks are always a pleasure to read. The writing is crisp, the research impressive, and the recommendations practical and down to earth. --Chicago Tribune Moon handbooks are known for cannily combining logistical information with cultural background of a country or state. --Los Angeles Times Moon handbooks have become known as well-written and exceptionally informative guides. --The New York Times The books are more easily readable than other guides.
