Tell me when it’s out Read How to Dodge Potholes
  • Japan, USA, Canada, Cuba, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, Zanzibar - and a few questionable connections in between
  • Same voice as Potholes - dry, observant, slightly feral
  • More airports, fewer chickens, similar levels of chaos

About the next book

This is the follow up to How to Dodge Potholes - not a true sequel in the Hollywood sense, more a follow up of everthing ELSE my mother begged me not to do.

In 1995 it was dust, potholes and border guards. In 2006 it was airline clerks, immigration forms and a slow realisation that the world had moved on to wi-fi and I was still carrying paper maps.

What to expect:

  • Scenes in Cuba, Brazil and Japan that will make you wonder how I was ever allowed out of Perth again
  • Old Africa threads tied off, without ruining the cliffhanger
  • Plenty of observational travel writing for fans of Bill Bryson and Peter Moore

Release timing will be announced to the mailing list first, along with early chapter snippets for those who like to pre-judge.
