More Than a Camino Novel
Set in the coastal village of Muxía, Spain — once called “the end of the world” — The Pilgrims Table gathers five strangers around a communal meal after completing the Camino de Santiago.
A Boston woman walking away from a broken marriage.
A young man eight months sober.
A Canadian couple confronting retirement and purpose.
A Spanish teacher carrying her brother’s memory.
A chef who has never walked the Camino himself.
Over one evening of food, wine, laughter, and confession, their stories intertwine in ways that feel both intimate and universal.
For anyone who has walked the Camino — or longs to — this is a story that understands why pilgrims leave home in the first place.
The Ideal Camino Gift for Every Stage of the Journey
Before the Camino
Give future pilgrims inspiration before departure. The novel captures the anticipation, uncertainty, and emotional pull that lead people to Santiago de Compostela.
After the Camino
Many pilgrims struggle to explain what changed after returning home. The Pilgrims Table helps readers reconnect with the emotions, conversations, and quiet transformations of pilgrimage life.
Christmas Gifts for Pilgrims
A thoughtful alternative to generic travel gear or accessories.
Birthday & Retirement Gifts
Perfect for travelers entering a new chapter of life — especially those drawn toward meaningful experiences over material things.
Pilgrimage Book Clubs
Ideal for Camino associations, parish groups, spiritual retreats, and travel clubs.
Written by a Real Pilgrim

His Sacred Steps Podcast streams in more than 105 countries and explores pilgrimage, hospitality, meaning, and transformation.
