At The Captain’s Table

At The Captain’s Table:  Life on a Luxury Liner Kindle Singles £1.99

Round the world the soft way. For less than the price of a cappuccino grande, a frothy confection of a travel book with double shots of autobiography and world analysis thrown in. How could anyone resist?  (unless like me, you don’t own a Kindle…).  If you do, buy it here.

Kindle Singles is an interesting new initiative.  Kindle have commissioned established writers like Stephen King, Jon Krakauer and Amy Tan – and way down the pecking order, uh, me  – to do books directly for them, and put them in a specially branded bit of their store.  Something which should be getting traditional publishers worried, as a harbinger of more to come.

I certainly enjoyed writing this –  light-hearted, it involves all the classic elements of comedy: life on the high seas, some rampant snobbery and even a marriage at the end of it…
