A BIG day! Originally realised back in 2017. My debut book, Goa : A Lesson in Life receives a long-overdue edit, professional cover, long-lost images, and an extra chapter, bringing my story to a close and up to date.
So, what’s it all about?
Back in August 2006, I visited Goa, India. A trip that affected my outlook on life, views on my country, and my attitude towards others of all backgrounds. In 2015, I finally decided to put down in writing all the experiences I encountered, not least my admiration for India, its people, and its culture.
In 2021, this second edition completes my journey.
What sort of reception did the first edition of Goa : A Lesson in Life receive?
Goa : A Lesson in Life (first edition) received 5-star reviews on Amazon and a high overall rating. Here’s just a few of them..,
“Utterly mesmerizing read…”
“As an avid lover of Goa, this book took me on one man’s adventure to the land of paradise… “
“…It’s the perfect book, full of ups and downs, that we all go through year after year to visit this beautiful country….”
“An enjoyable and engaging account of a month in Goa. A well put together piece blending humour, thoughtfulness and a simple observational style.”

Why the Second Edition?
Although the first edition has sold surprisingly well, as a writer, I’ve learned a lot since its release. The main reason for a new edition is that it deserves to be presented in the best way I can. I’ve taken on board all the valuable feedback and produced a package I hope will do it justice.
To complete my journey, and tie things right up to the present day, I’ve included an extra chapter/Epilogue (I don’t want to spoil the surprise too much).
Editing-wise, I’ve followed my own advice, gathered over the years, and have lovingly pawed over the manuscript with a fine tooth comb. I hope you’ll agree it’s a far more polished and considered piece. Personally? I enjoy this sort of thing and It’s been well worth the effort.
I hope you’ll agree the new cover looks fantastic! This was designed for me by germancreative and I think nails the message I wanted to convey. It’s bright, colourful, vivid, vibrant, and I hope pops out to potential readers.
Lastly, I wanted to include some images of my journey. I mention in the book that I lost all the photos I took when Bebo went down, But luckily, not all of them! I hope these add to the experience.
