I thought that I might give a little update on my writing as the last few weeks have been very productive ones in terms of writing. I’m about to have an article published by a leading environmental magazine (more details when it is out) on a subject relating to water poverty in Africa. It is… Continue reading My first cover story!

New Year, New Book
I’m not really one for making new year resolutions, fortunately I don’t have anything really to give up and I am more than happy to start my “resolutions” as and when they need to start throughout the year rather in the very dark, cold and generally horrid month of January. However, January does seem a… Continue reading New Year, New Book
My 2013 blog year in review
Well it has been a busy blogging year and I’d just like to thank everyone who spares me a minute of their time to see what I am up to. It’s been a pretty horrid year away from blogging with the loss of my mother and my job, albeit I hated my job and had… Continue reading My 2013 blog year in review
How to collect autographs… mostly Star Trek & how I beat the odds!
One of the things I used to enjoy doing was collecting autographs. I have collected autographs since 1982 and probably have over 100 now. Most of them are sci-fi related but I have autographs from the world of sports, tv and cinema, music and even politics. I’m not a big believer in paying for autographs… Continue reading How to collect autographs… mostly Star Trek & how I beat the odds!
How to write a great E-book
Many people are daunted at the prospect of writing a full-length novel and it is all too easy to see why.

I’m a best selling author. No really!
I don’t normally write anything self-congratulatory but I awoke this morning to find that I am finally a best-selling author. You might think that now I have hit the big time I may stop blogging but fear not as I am not yet a New York Times best-seller. I am though a best-seller in the… Continue reading I’m a best selling author. No really!
Everybodys free to write (and wear sunscreen)
About 15 years ago I bought a book entitled “All I Really Need to Know I learned from Star Trek”, it became one of several philosophical type books about Star Trek that are scattered around my bookshelves, I’m not entirely sure where they all are, partially as I lend them out or my Uncle takes… Continue reading Everybodys free to write (and wear sunscreen)
How To Get Rich Using Airbnb
This week I wrote a small How-To ebook/kindle book entitled How To Get Rich Using Airbnb. It’s in all good book stores, well Amazon UK, USA, Lulu and iTunes anyway. I wrote this book for two main reasons. First of all having written a few pieces of between 30-50 words recently for a competition, I was… Continue reading How To Get Rich Using Airbnb
Happy Blogday to me
Today is a slightly less than momentous day in the world of blogging as it is my first year anniversary of starting my blog…. or rather yesterday was. However I had a big job interview yesterday so instead today is my blogs birthday. When I started off blogging, it was always something I had wanted… Continue reading Happy Blogday to me

Today is a big day, the official launch of my second book! Planes, Trains and Sinking Boats: My Travels Through A World Of Mishaps is a humorous travelogue.
