I was minding my own business, reading the paper this afternoon, when I stumbled upon a captivating article.

I suppose I’m a bit biased.  I did write it, after all.

Travel writing is my passion. I am constantly entering short story competitions and knocking on publishers doors.
After a 6 week spread in the Caithness Courier (based in Wick, Scotland) last fall, my next run is on it’s way in Horsham, England.
 So how do I do it?  It’s simple, really.  I ask.
I have a portfolio, including sample works and recommendations, that I am constantly building up.  I have an angle – a brilliant idea that I can sell.  And I simply don’t take no for an answer. It is my unrelenting perseverance and motivation that secures me a position as a columnist wherever I may find myself around the world. One day, you might pick up your local newspaper and find my name. Today, I did.
