Crossing Russia on the Trans Siberian

Another milestone achieved! I have just signed the approval for the cover of my fifth book due out this autumn.

The text on the back cover on the right of the photo reads...

'A wonderful account of a trip through Russia that will intrigue and delight, history fanatics, Russophiles, travellers and adventurers alike. Norman Handy traces his journey by ship and the railway from Saint Petersburg to Vladivostok, taking the reader on a tour through Russian history by starting off in St Petersburg with its spectacular palaces and museums. From the interesting people, the railway journeys, the Kremlin, executions, to murder, and mayhem are all part of this trip and will offer fascinating reading.
 There are stops at Yekaterinburg and other fascinating places along the way, horse riding in the Altai mountains to reach Mount Belukha, Siberia's highest mountain before finally he reaches his destination in Vladisvostok.'

And here is a better 'true to life' photo of the cover of my fourth book also due out in the autumn. And the text on the back cover, on the left of the photo reads...

'Apart from being a travelholic, Norman Handy has given us an adventure filled description of a trip from Anchorage in Alaska to Panama in Central America. The more adventurous traveller will experience many fascinating places with stunning scenic vistas and tips on how things work in border crossings through many countries. If you want to know more about; life in different communities, how to deal with a curious caribou or bison without being trampled, or to view a sloth in its habitat  and why there is a worm at the bottom of your glass of Tequila glass then this is for you!

There is even a dash of romance with the author falling for the pretty tour guide and having to hide this liaison with her from his fellow travellers and to their having to go their separate ways at the end of the journey.'
