I've been a full-time writer and editor of travel guides and features for more than 30 years. Always freelance, I have very wide experience of UK national newspapers, consumer magazines, websites, guidebook writing and travel publishing.

By the start of 2010, I have written many hundreds of travel articles and about 30 travel books and guides, mainly on France and the French regions, on Ireland, Israel, Canary Islands and guides for vegetarians. I also write fiction.
