Just found you on Twitter! Have you done a travel theme yet? Journeys perhaps? I’m blogging the overland trip to Kathmandu I did in 1976 as an 18 year old and have written a mystery novel about the hippy trail called Overlanders. You can read the opening chapter on my website. I’d love to know what you think. Up till now I’ve written regional historical novels but am having a change of direction. I’ll check you out on Thusday! Cheers and Happy New Year!
