http://www.constanttrek.com everywhere is walking distance if you have the time Wed, 03 Mar 2010 02:21:47 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en It has been a busy week - a great one, too. ABC TV got in touch this week, and have invited me on to the Talking Heads program, which I am thoroughly over excited about.  I really do need to learn to be rather more cool about these things, but it's ... http://www.constanttrek.com/index.php/archives/405 Oh, I'm so excited! This post is a combination of a promise I made to a reader a while ago and have yet felt able to fulfil; and also by way of sharing the excitement of new ideas. Some weeks ago, I received this email from Melissa Layton after she finished reading ... http://www.constanttrek.com/index.php/archives/401 I have been away from my blog for way too long. The reasons are predictable - I have been in the darkness for a long time, unsure of where I was headed, or how, and I never feel much like writing when that happens. But a couple of ... http://www.constanttrek.com/index.php/archives/393 Well - it is still looking a little messy, but you can now buy both books (signed) from my site.  Please note that at the moment shipping costs are set only for the UK and the USA, so if you are buying from South Africa or Australia, please email me ... http://www.constanttrek.com/index.php/archives/384 Well - the media began this week, and so far, it has been wonderful. I appeared on Richard Fidler yesterday, and I love being interviewed by him - he is wonderfully well informed, funny, and engaging. Today, I got my first review, from the Courier Mail in Queensland, ... http://www.constanttrek.com/index.php/archives/365 It seems a little as if it has taken forever - but I finally got posted a copy of Sahara, my new book, last week. It officially goes into stores in the first week of October. I know there has been a dreadfully long gap in posts.  I have taken some ... http://www.constanttrek.com/index.php/archives/346 I have put off writing this for weeks.  I just couldn't face it, but it has to be done sooner or later. My Australian walk isn't happening.  In short, my second book is coming out in October this year (which is really great news, and I am very happy about) but ... http://www.constanttrek.com/index.php/archives/234 [caption id="attachment_232" align="alignleft" width="270" caption="stuffing saddles..."][/caption] Merry Christmas and a happy New Year – and huge apologies for the long break between updates. I am up in Broome again, after going back to Melbourne for October and most of November. It was wonderful to step back off the plane into the ... http://www.constanttrek.com/index.php/archives/216 Well, I guess life could be a lot tougher. I have to say that the Sahara was never quite this lush and enjoyable; saddle the camels up, go for a quiet wander down to the beach, load some tourists up, and wander along the beach for an hour.  Repeat three times ... http://www.constanttrek.com/index.php/archives/212 I do apologise for the long break.  In essence, I shut down everything until I finished the book, which I now have! I will make this brief until the next time - which will be soon, and will also include photos. I got stonewalled in my plans to return to Africa, again.  ... http://www.constanttrek.com/index.php/archives/206 -18.023302727132013 122.25000143051147
