The book received an honor recently. Unlike many authors who enter contests and competitions, I don’t seek such things. I’m more interested in what people such as yourselves say and think. Evidently, one thought enough to pass along my name.
“Journeys Outward, Journeys Inward” was published August 14th, 2013 – a book of travel and transformation. We use the word honor so loosely, yet I am sincere that being included is an honor. 
It is easy to see Walking Thinking Drinking Across Scotland as a travel story and a drinking story. I also know that many of the sales are because the book ranks high for the common search of “walking Scotland”. The walking and the drinking sell the book, but the thinking is why I wrote it.
Their book is about travel and transformation. Travel is about transformation, whether a book is written or not. Usually, the transformation is simple relaxation. That’s why I walked across Scotland, but travel can transform more than a temporary stress level. Travel can change a life. Scotland changed mine. I found a new way to find joy. That’s why I wrote the book. The world needs more joy, and finding new ways for others to find joy is a blessing.
For those of you who’ve read my book, you know about the walk out of Fenwick. For those that haven’t, well, of course I’d be happy if you bought mine; but I also know that a compilation like the one put together by Penelope Bourke may be just what you need. Either way, I am honored. Enjoy.
