About
trail of crumbs
Chris DiCroce is an author, songwriter, and – a quitter. He quit the rat-race, sold his house and nearly everything he owned and moved aboard a small sailboat, in search of a simpler life. Since that time, he’s authored three Amazon bestselling books, numerous magazine pieces, and sailed to eight countries.
The Quiet Goings On
POEMS. STORIES.
The Quiet Goings On is a collection of poems and short stories that take place in the small wrinkles between big events.
These are stories about wanderers and survivors. Stories grown from the dirt of hardship and pain, with a sliver of triumph; even if it’s well-hidden and requires some digging.
“Some fine work. I’ve read pieces in New Yorker lately that weren’t nearly as compelling.” -Fred Grimm, Miami Herald / Sun Sentinel
“So well written that I could not run away.” -Reviewer
“…it touched me and I will be a bit haunted by it for a while.” -Reviewer

What People are saying
“Chris DiCroce writes books the same way he composes and sings, from the soul… DiCroce does not pretend to be a hero… he is just a traveler or maybe a troubadour, living in the moment and leaving a gentle wake.” -John Kretschmer, Bestselling Author
“Damn, these characters – so real and so representative of these disaffected times. I could hardly remember if they were DiCroce’s inventions or real people I’d met in some Mexican taqueria, fishermen’s bar, or on a Philadelphia street corner. If you sense a bit of envy here . . . well, yeah . . . because DiCroce describes, with a poetic clarity beyond the reach of us journalists, this very moment in a melancholy time. In a sense, DiCroce (a noted songwriter and author) has given us one of his finest albums. Except with The Quiet Goings On, the music is all in the words.”
“Chris DiCroce has penned a story which ranges from side-splitting humor to edge-of-the-seat intensity. The characters are believable, their dialog natural and witty, and the increasingly amazing and unexpected situations they find themselves in are made all the more memorable by the author’s keen ability to earn the reader’s trust. Throughout the narrative, he uses brilliant metaphors to paint vivid images in the reader’s mind.”
