Online Portfolio Up And Running
After much deliberation about how and what should be displayed, I have finally launched a very basic online portfolio. The link, to the right of the website, offers a visual guide to the editorial teams I have worked with over the last few year.
Whilst I’m aware it doesn’t go into satisfying details (e.g. the content of my writing or testimonials from happy editors), it will hopefully serve a basic purpose for the time being.
Am I the only one who finds that sometimes I spend so much time trying to get a basic, competent website running that I forget to do what I’m supposed to be … writing!
In other news, I had a rather exciting email last week asking for permission to have one of my articles translated into Mandarian, for a Chinese market. My first piece of translated work! More details on that Asiatic development as and when.
Four Shires Travelogue Finale
The new issue of Four Shires magazine is out, featuring a travelogue of my journey through Malaysia’s peninsular, from the buzz of Kuala Lumpur to Christmas in Melaka.
May’s issue marks the final column for Four Shires, drawing to a close six months of Asian travel features that have explored the lowland of China and the hidden isles of Honk Kong, the rainforests of Borneo and the chocolate hills of the Philippines. It has been a great experience to write a monthly column for the magazine, and I look forward to my next travel flavoured endeavour.
The rights to all my printed travelogues, along with the photographs, are still available. If you are interested in seeing samples of or publishing my tales of travel please get in touch via the link on the right of this webpage.
Two new features and return home
Last Sunday saw my return to drizzly Northamptonshire after nine months in the east. What the future holds for my writing looks set to reveal itself over the course of the next few months. In the mean time I intend to plump the website with a portfolio of my published works, revamp a few of my blogs, and develop a few other useful features for the site. Stay posted!
This month sees two features published.
Foremost I have a major piece in Borneo Insiders Guide (or B.I.G) on the best national parks in Malaysian Borneo and Brunei. This tourist focused magazine is available throughout Malaysia and Brunei at a range of hotels and restaurants, as well as on a number of international flights in and around Borneo.

Also available now is the new issue of Four Shires magazine featuring my monthly travel column. Singapore is the focus this issue, in what looks to be a great edition packed with other features and articles. The April issue is available from most newsagents in Northants, Oxfordshire, Warricks, Bucks and Gloucestershire, and is well worth picking up.
