New spotlight on Lucia Davis & Andrew Cairns + many updates

Dear Goodreads friends,

It has been an extraordinarily busy week! I’ve been offline getting everything ready for something amazing – stay tuned for a big announcement later this week!

Over on my blog you will find two new travel articles, information about my travelogue’s paperback release (don’t miss the Notes of a Naive Traveler: Nepal and Thailand Goodreads giveaway), a new Facebook group for authors and readers of travel fiction and non-fiction called Travel By Book, and two features introducing you to two amazing authors.

I hope you will take a moment to learn more about Lucia N. Davis and Andrew Cairns.


Spotlight on Mystery Author Lucia N. Davis

Please help me welcome Lucia N. Davis, author of The Baby on the Back Porch and The Charm of Lost Chances, to my blog. We connected via a Goodreads author group because of her Dutch roots! It’s been great getting to know her, her expanding family and her mysteries. I hope you enjoy the interview as well.

10 Tips and Techniques for Creating a Sense of Place in the Reader’s Mind by Andrew Cairns

Today Andrew Cairns, author of The Witch’s List and member of Travel By Book, shares with us some excellent tips for creating a strong sense of place in your novels.
Andrew knows what he’s talking about. Travel inspired his first novel, written fifteen years after a memorable one-month visit to the Ivory Coast in 1999. His experiences of growing up in Scotland and moving to France where he has lived and worked most of his adult life, are also worked into the novel. I hope you enjoy reading his post and pick up a few useful tips for your own writing!

I am also thrilled to see wonderful new reviews of all three of my books: The Lover’s Portrait, Down and Out in Kathmandu and Notes of a Naïve Traveler! Thanks to all who left a review of my books, I really appreciate it.

Until next time, have a wonderful week!
