aperitif, books, friends

Back in June I mentioned my friend Kate Hawking’s @katehawkings new book Aperitif, which I put in my Amazon shopping basket, and then forgot it was there! Then the other day I was looking to order a blood pressure monitor for Peter (more on that later) and saw I had an item in my basket. Well heck!

And so here it is, and it’s a very nice book indeed. I love how Kate writes. It’s also the first time I’ve ever been mentioned in the acknowledgements, which is quite thrilling. Now I just need Kate to come back to Sevilla and sign this for me.

My old Bristol pal Kate Hawkings has just published this wonderful new book – Aperitif. Very happy to be mentioned (thanks for the photo Lizzie). Can’t wait for my copy to arrive! You can get yours on Amazon. 🙂

e-book, sevilla, tapas

So it took me ages to find the post where I first mentioned that I was planning to write an e-book… back in September 2009!!! Good grief. I know I can procrastinate but this is a bit ridiculous. Well oh yeah, there was the getting over chemo thing, plus rebuilding my life and creating a whole new career for myself. And then moving house and blah, blah, blah…

Anyhow, I started an outline for my e-book recently and was surprised to discover that there are several ways I could probably go with this. But first I’m going to get all the material together and see where that takes me.

It also turns out that a lot of it is pretty much already written, so it will mostly be a question of doing re-writes and editing and then playing with OpenOffice and getting it all on PDF and all that. I’m actually quite excited. Will keep you posted!

travel writing

So check it out – this is my new SimonSeeks page. There’s not a lot written yet as I’m just getting started, but by the end of November it will be filled with all kinds of fabulous information about hotels & other sorts of accommodation, restaurants & tapas bars, monuments & sights, shopping, nightlife, culture and lots of other useful info written by a local resident. Me.

I’m quite excited about this new challenge and I like that they want me to write in a casual and personal manner. They don’t want it sounding like a stuffy tourist guide. And most importantly, they want what I do best – to provide up-to-date info and opinions about My Sevilla.

You all know how much I love this place.

I’m looking forward to the London meeting in September. I’ve also started a SevilleExpert Twitter account and from now until deadline will be researching and writing like mad.
