Chris Donaldson

On his return from South America, Chris joined the family furniture shop in Belfast, which over the years he expanded into London and Dublin. He was UK Master Franchisor for a fitness company, developed a Health & Fitness Franchise, and a Mobile App company in Dubai; where he lived for eight years with his family on a 47ft yacht.
His hobbies include sailing and flying. Following his quest to do things his own way, he built his own aeroplane. He still rides his Moto Guzzi Le Mans, SOI 222, and some years ago rode it to Moscow and St Petersburg with his wife, Julie.
The journey still impacts his life to this day where he continues to go the wrong way whenever he can; a trip to Australia is still a dream.
Chris now works with Ed's son, Jeff Ardit

Andy C Wareing

Along with many like-minded souls, 2020 was the year I finally broke free of the constraints of life in corporate America. Fueled by a renewed passion and creativity I decided to pursue my new life as a full-time author.

Originally from Southport in England my wife, Paula, and I, lived and worked in the USA for 15 wonderful years, and then moved to Spain to enjoy a quiet life in the endless sunshine of the Mediterranean. Instead, we ended up embroiled in the tribulations of the pandemic. I wrote and self-published my first book “Mistakes Were Made” after that (mis) adventure.

At heart always British, we loved living in the U.S.A but will never vocalize the American pronunciations of basil, banana, or tomato. We now live with our two dogs in l

Chris Scott

After exploring the Sahara in 1980s, I wrote Desert Biking in 1993. That evolved into today's Adventure Motorcycling Handbook, now in its 6th edition. I also co-wrote several editions of Australia for Rough Guides and worked on other RG titles. Desert Travels, a Saharan travelogue came next, then Sahara Overland, Overlanders Handbook, and Morocco Overland, all for Trailblazer Guides. I also enjoy updating Trailblazer's British walking guides once in a while.
I recently reprinted Desert Travels alongside a new book: Adventures in Motorcycling, an urban motobiography paralleling the DT era of the 1980s, but telling a quite different story.

S.P. Muir

S. P. Muir sounds a bit pretentious, doesn't it? Well let me lighten it up for you with a bit more information.

My name is Stephen Peter Muir, I live at the edge of England's beautiful Lake District National Park with my beautiful wife, Rosemary. I won't say quite how old I am, but Noah says to tell you all, 'hi.'

"So what about your writing, Stephen?" I hear you ask. It's funny, but it seems I began writing as soon as I could hold a pen. Poetry and short stories mainly. I wrote my first novel while I was still at school; a thriller called 'The spoilers'. It was so bad that I duly filed it in the nearest dustbin! Fantasy soon became my main love, though.

ALSO From the back cover of the 1954 Penguin edition of “One of Our Submarines”:

Edward Young was born in Trinidad, West Indies, in 1913. He was educated at Highgate and at 18 took a job as office boy in a publishing firm, where he gradually became interested in printing and design. When Penguin Books started in 1935 he was production manager, he designed the cover, and drew the Penguin device. In April 1940 he joined the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (R.N.V.R.), and four months later entered the submarine service, and was the first R.N.V.R. officer to command an operational submarine. After the War he joined Rupert Hart-Davis, who was then about to start

Heather Ellis

Heather Ellis is the author of two travel memoirs. Ubuntu: One Woman’s Motorcycle Odyssey Across Africa (Black Inc. 2016) and Timeless On The Silk Road: An Odyssey From London To Hanoi (Phonte 2019). Both books detail my motorcycle travels from 1993 to 1997. Ubuntu is is as much about Africa’s most remote, beautiful and dangerous places as it is about having the courage to do it alone. It is about a life-changing adventure into the soul of Africa where I find Ubuntu— a Bantu word meaning human interconnectedness (‘I am because we are’).
Timeless On The Silk Road is what happens as I ride my motorcycle across Central Asia after I am diagnosed with HIV in London. It is 1995, when death from AIDS is inevitable.

Conn Iggulden

Also publishes under author name C.F. Iggulden.

I was born in the normal way in 1971, and vaguely remember half-pennies and sixpences. I have written for as long as I can remember: poetry, short stories and novels. It’s what I always wanted to do and read English at London University with writing in mind. I taught English for seven years and was Head of English at St. Gregory’s RC High School in London by the end of that period. I have enormous respect for those who still labour at the chalk-face. In truth, I can’t find it in me to miss the grind of paperwork and initiatives. I do miss the camaraderie of the smokers’ room, as well as the lessons where their faces lit up as they understood what I was wittering on about.
