Great news!
If you’re looking for something to make you smile on the beach, in the garden, or while hiding from the British weather, here’s a little mid-August reminder…
For the rest of August, BOTH ebooks in my Wayward Truck series are available on Amazon UK for 99p Kindle Deals.
🚛 Building The Beast – the story of how we bought a 30-year-old six-wheel Belgian Army truck, sight unseen, and attempted to convert it into an off-grid expedition home for two humans and four dogs.
🗺️ More Manchester Than Mongolia – what happened when our grand overland dream took an unexpected detour, proving that adventure doesn’t always go according to plan… and is sometimes better for it.
I’m incredibly grateful for the reception both books have received. Each has been awarded the Readers’ Favorite 5-Star Seal, and both have been recognised by the Wishing Shelf Book Awards. Building The Beast won Bronze in 2024, while More Manchester Than Mongolia was a Finalist in 2025.
The Wishing Shelf Book Award judges gave both books five stars.
One judge’s feedback on More Manchester Than Mongolia was:
“Bill Bryson fans should definitely give this a go!
The humour feels very British – dry, understated, and wonderfully observational…
It’s one of those books you keep recommending to friends because you’re convinced they’ll enjoy it as much as you did.”
If you’ve been meaning to climb aboard The Beast, or you’ve enjoyed the first book but haven’t yet read the second, now’s the perfect opportunity.
The 99p Kindle Deals are only available until the end of August. After the promotion, the price goes back up to £2.99 each.
Here are the judge’s overall comments about each book:
‘Inspiring, funny, and insightful – what more can you ask for!? A BRONZE MEDAL WINNER and highly recommended.’
The Wishing Shelf Book Awards 2024
‘A journey that proves the best adventures are ones that never go to plan. A FINALIST and highly recommended!’
The Wishing Shelf Book Awards 2025
If you’ve been meaning to catch up on the series – or know someone who loves humorous travel memoirs – now’s the ideal time to grab the whole series.
If you’ve already read them, THANK YOU!
And I would also be immensely grateful if you could leave a review on Amazon, Goodreads, or wherever you usually buy your books. Reviews are so important for authors, and help readers to find their next favourite read.
You don’t need to write War and Peace to leave a useful a review. Here are three simple tips on writing a GREAT book review.
Happy reading… and remember, the journey doesn’t always end where you intended!
Get Ready to Binge the Series!
