Welcome from Jan

Hi there!
This blog is for those who love both books and travel. I'm starting by travelling back in time to the 1970s and the overland trail to India which I took as an 18 year old. Have a look at my daily diary entries and photos. Some of these places are impossible to visit at the moment, but I can give you a flavour of what they were like in the golden age of the hippy trail.

The experience has inspired my new mystery novel, THE VANISHING OF RUTH, which is out now as an ebook. Find details and extracts at The Vanishing of Ruth
To buy: The Vanishing of Ruth

Also take a look at Facebook Page Overlanders for more memorabilia. http://bit.ly/Overlanders

HELP ME FIND MY FELLOW PASSENGERS! TAKE A LOOK AT THE GROUP PHOTO (post on 30th November 2009) AND CHECK THE NAMES ON THIS LINK: http://www.indiaoverland.biz/overland/passengers/sep26_76.html
Cheers, Jan.

Google e-books UK launch "imminent" | The Bookseller

Interesting news about Google bringing its ebooks to the UK market. The big challenge must be that Google ebooks can't be read on Kindle ...

    What is a good sale for an e-book on Amazon. It's difficult to find that many people with Kindles, but I know you have had a big success. Would you go for traditional publishing over e-book, or do you think this is the future? John Anthony

    Hi John, I don't see it is an either/or choice between traditional and ebook publishing, but something that can be done in tandem. For most publishers ebooks still account for only 15% or so of sales, compared to print versions. For me as an independent publishing author that % is much higher! So ebooks are offering a big opportunity for independents like myself who are reaching a new readership through digital outlets.

    It is with thanks to my Kobo e-reader website that I came across your books, which I had not seen in my bookstore here in Canada. Because I love books set in England, particularly in the North-East, they have put me in touch with some great authors, like yourself. I look forward to reading many of your books. Thanks. Loreen.

    Hello Loreen,
    thanks very much for taking the time to leave your message - so glad you are enjoying the North East sagas! Do you have any family connections with the area? Which books have you read so far?
    I now have a new blog with more information about the books, if you'd like to take a look at that:

    All the best
