My books can be divided into those I wrote as a sole author, and the guides in which I collaborated.
[Click on the covers for more information about writing the book.]
Sole Author Travelogues
Brazil: Life, Blood, Soul (2003)- My original title: Five Hundred Years of Fascination was deemed too ‘academic’.
This edition is now out of print.
The second edition is only available on Kindle.
Rainbow Diary: A Journey in the New South Africa (2005) – My original title: The Boers, the Blacks and the Backpackers (again published on my website) was deemed a tad offensive.
Singapore Swing: (2007). This kept its original title (I fought off suggestions such as Singapore Sling)
All the above were published by Summersdale. I still get royalties from those, unlike from the guides below that involve a commission fee upfront.
Sole Author Travel Guides
Not so straightforward is my first travel guide, out July 2008, published by Globetrotter Guides. It was a commissioned Wildlife Guide to Brazil.
Co-Authored Travel Guides
Finally I have co-written four standard Michelin Green Guides. Some sites (eg Amazon France) have me on the list of authors, but Amazon UK doesn’t – boo!
Michelin Green Guide to Singapore
Michelin Green Guide to Greece
Michelin Green Guide to Switzerland
Michelin Green Guide to Austria
And for the Rough Guides
Rough Guide to Europe on a Budget (Greece chapter)
Rough Guide to the Greek Islands
Currently rewriting the Germany and Hungary chapters of the Rough Guide to Europe as well as updating the Greece chapter.
