My next guest on Rambling On... has a controversial story to tell. Indeed if you need an eyebrow twitcher this could be the read for you. If you like the interview please tweet and share it among your friends using the pre prepared tweet below;

#RT Marianne Azizi - Author of Sour Milk and Stolen Honey. Rambling On... http://simonduringer.com/rambling-on/... #MustRead #books #wkbpromo #UKBA14 #Israel

Looking back at my last 12 months of interviewing authors...

From all genres and methods of publishing, one always sticks in my mind as the most harrowing, but yet most inspirational as it is based upon fact.

How he managed to retain his sense of humour after 35 years of reporting from the most dangerous areas of the world is anybody's guess. But he did and with it remained modest and grounded despite earning every accolade journalism could offer him from the DuPont Prize to Golden HUGOs, Royal Society Awards, 5 x EMMY's and more...

Let's take a moment to revisit the Martin Fletcher interview.

10 Responses of pure inspiration!

It's not often I get on the receiving end of interview questions, but I sure have a blast when I do.

Friend, Author and previous Simon's 10Q Interviewee posted some good questions to me on her blog today...

It's well worth a look and a great new site!

Well, he deserves a round of applause for having the bottle for joining me at the event, sure to get ribbed by his mates for it. So, let's embed it in to history and make a blog post relevant to authors, bloggers and musicians alike about it. Here's a pat on the back for author and promoter Mr John Winstanley

For those who know him, they'll understand when I say my next guest never does anything by halves.

Not only is this icon of motor racing undergoing the challenge of Simons 10 Q Interviews, but he also agreed to a radio interview with the very same interviewer....

THE STIG is up for a double whammy... First see the Preview of his Simons 10QI here: http://goo.gl/5kFtlK

Then tune in to Chorley FM (102.8 FM) this Saturday morning between 8-9am (UK time) to hear his radio interview with award winning blogger Simon Duringer. They will discuss the upcoming 2015 Formula 1 Motor Racing Season and Perry McCarthy THE ORIGINAL STIG, will share his tips on who will win the 2015 Driver and Constructor Championship and much more....

Give it up for this global icon of the original series of BBC's Top Gear!
DON'T MISS IT!

Recently Perry McCarthy, The Original Stig launched his autobiography on Kindle... It's a riot and unsurprisingly, as a paperback now out of print, already ranks within the Top 20 Bestselling Motorsports Books of all time.

Perry McCarthy has now updated, recovered and added some content to his autobiography;

Flat Out Flat Broke: The Original Stig

The cover has gone down very well indeed and has been nominated for the Best Cover Award 2015 on AuthorsDB.

I personally love the cover and fell over laughing whilst reading the book; Flat Out Flat Broke.

Perry probably had more business on a stage making people laugh than in a motorcar on a race track. That said he succeeded in becoming Formula Ford Champion, a Formula 1 race driver and The Original Stig on BBC's Top Gear program. Now he is truly in his element as an after dinner speaker, a highly entertaining one at that!

But the fact of the matter is, his book has, in my opinion, an astonishingly striking cover (for which Tim Booth Photography can take a lot of the credit).

Whether or not you like a goodread, a laugh, in some places potentially a tear, largely due to Perry's consistent run of misfortune during his racing career, I would ask you to consider taking a look at his book cover and if you feel it is worthy of recognition to follow the link below and take a moment to vote for Flat Out Flat Broke as the best cover for 2015...
