I've been writing a travel story about Utrecht, Netherlands, today. Quite pleased I placed that one because I only visited the museum in question on a whim before a business lunch with the Eurail people (who are based in Utrecht).

Very pleased to receive my copy of Wild & Inspired, an anthology of travel writing by members of the Australian Society of Travel Writers; it marks the 50th anniversary of the ASTW. I have a piece in there about the Pride of Africa train in South Africa.
Tapping my fingers because one of my clients is holding onto *eight* travel stories that I've been paid for, but they haven't published yet. And there are three more I'll be handing in shortly!
In the old days when it was a problem because they only paid on publication. They now pay when the stories are filed – which is good but creates a new problem, as I lose my leverage to get the damn things published. :)
Lonely Planet asked me to update my bio and photo on their website, so here it is - with links to some of my online stories:

A reminder about my travel narrative book about Poland's communist-era relics: The Kick of Stalin's Cow.
I in it I wander around Poland digging up the past, talking to Poles who remember the era, and visiting some wild architecture.
