Dust in My Pack is available as an ebook and paperback at most online bookstores. A second book is expected later in 2018.

What inspires you to write?
I love to travel. I also like to surprise people with an unexpected perspective about a place. I find you see a different side to distant destinations when you visit them for yourself rather than listening to news stories or generic overviews of a country.
My writing captures my most unique experiences in off-the-beaten track places that most people never get to see.

Tell us about your writing process.
I write about travelling to little-known destinations, so part of the process entails a lot of travel. I have visited over seventy countries and lived across five continents. My books are structured by theme and by country, for example trekking and ancient cities are chapter topics.
When travelling, I take lots of notes and write draft descriptions of special moments that ignite my passion for travel.
Once back home, I finesse the writing, get feedback, edit and re-edit before sending my final manuscript to my editor, proofreader and cover designer.
In between editing, I love to get out hiking and running. It clears my head.

What advice would you give other writers?
For self-publishers: Hire a professional editor and cover designer.
For all new authors: Pay attention to quality, the readers deserve it.

How did you decide how to publish your books?
Self-publishing allowed me the control and freedom that I wanted.

What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I believe there is a place for traditional publishing and self-publishing. Name brand and public exposure of more famous "known" authors plays well into the traditional publishing arm, while new writers can still get into the game through self-publishing without needing to convince a publisher upfront.
