Today my first guest blog post has appeared! Nick Wastnage has been kind enough to host my blog post, Growing up with Mountains, which tells the story of how I started writing about the outdoors and history.

Nick Wastnage is a crime writer with a number of titles to his name, and a fellow member of the Kindle User’s Forum UK.

I hope to participate in more guest blogging in future as it’s a great way of networking with fellow authors and reaching a wider audience of readers. Look out for posts from guest bloggers on this site very soon!
