Getting the LA Degree

In order to graduate with a degree in Landscape Architecture, CJ had to complete a term-abroad design study. That was the story in Tangier Gardens.

And in order to complete his term-abroad design study, CJ had to submit a final deliverable. Curious Tales is that final deliverable.

You might say Curious Tales is the short form of Tangier Gardens—but with added style.

In Curious Tales CJ shares, in 43 flash fiction stories, his take on the culture and landscape of northwestern Africa. He describes how the unique culture and landscape of that region have impacted his life and approach to landscape architecture design.

Curious Tales launches on Amazon and the Ebook will be Free on 15 Apr: https://amzn.to/3nO2WEG.
