Sole Author Travelogues
Brazil: Life, Blood, Soul (2003)- My original title: Five Hundred Years of Fascination was deemed too ‘academic’.

The second edition is only available on Kindle.
Rainbow Diary: A Journey in the New South Africa (2005):
This edition is now out of print.
The second edition is only available on Kindle.
Singapore Swing: (2007). This kept its original title (I fought off suggestions such as Singapore Sling).

The second edition is only available on Kindle.
All the above were published by Summersdale. I received an advance and royalties for those, unlike from the guides below that involved a commission fee upfront.
