“About Islands on the Fringe: A Year of Micronesian Waves and Wanderers:

Voyage to the outcrops of the tropics, where dreamers and degenerates mingle in an exotic setting of mysterious jungle ruins, narcotic drinks, and secret un-surfed waves. In this encomium to his experience teaching English in Micronesia, S. Jacques Stratton offers a wry portrayal of the ex-pat life, conveyed through vignettes and characters that evoke a lost, limnal latitude. Both memoir and travelogue, augmented with photographs from the author’s collection, ISLANDS ON THE FRINGE will spark the wanderlust of those who crave offbeat adventure beyond the main-traveled routes.

“About A Maverick USA Way:

A Maverick USA Way is the fifth in a series of unconventional travel memoirs by New Zealand author Mary Jane Walker. With 407 images, A Maverick USA Way describes Mary Jane’s adventures on the Amtrak rails, in the cities and in the wilderness.

Mary Jane took Amtrak trains around America and visited Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Rocky Mountain and Yosemite National Parks before the snow hit. She loved the Smithsonian museums and after seeing a live dance at the American Indian Museum, she decided to go to Standing Rock. It was a protest over land rights and drinking water, at 30 below zero! She loved Detroit which is going back to being a park, and Galveston and Birmingham, Alabama. She was there during the 2016 elections and was not surprised Trump won. She was tired of being mistaken for being a homeless person because she had a backpack and left San Francisco because of it.

For the week of this promotion, A Maverick USA Way will be on Kindle Countdown, selling at 99 cents on Amazon.com in the USA (normally $5.99) and for 99 p on Amazon.co.uk in the UK (normally GBP 4.49).

Another book by Mary Jane, A Maverick New Zealand Way, was a finalist in Travel in the International Book Awards, 2018! Mary Jane has seven books in print, with more forthcoming.

Featured Post: A Maverick Traveller Anthology by Mary Jane Walker

Leave a Comment

“About A Maverick Traveller Anthology:

A Maverick Traveller Anthology contains the first three of Kiwi adventurer Mary Jane Walker’s travel memoirs: A Maverick Traveller, A Maverick New Zealand Way, and A Maverick Cuban Way. It’s excellent value for money, especially given that it will be on Countdown for US $4.00 or GBP 3.99 for the duration of this promotion.

Mary Jane first became a serious world traveller in an unusual way, when she joined the crew of a Chinese junk being sailed from Canton (now Guangzhou) to Paris via the middle of the Indian Ocean. The junk was crewed by some French hippies and Mary Jane fell in love with the captain. A Maverick Traveller is all about this voyage and Mary Jane’s subsequent world travels.

After publishing A Maverick Traveller, which has over 90 photos and maps, Mary Jane then decided to write some more books, starting with A Maverick New Zealand Way, in which she describes her own country from north to south, with an emphasis on out-of-the-way places and hiking trails that many non-New Zealanders would never find out about otherwise. A Maverick New Zealand Way has more than 600 photos and maps! It was also a finalist in Travel at the International Book Awards in April, 2018.

A Maverick Cuban Way describes a visit to Cuba, which Mary Jane made after the death of Fidel Castro and shortly after the 2016 US elections as well. In A Maverick Cuban Way, with 247 images, Mary Jane talks about the history of Cuba and its cultural connections, while at the same time describing her travels to a wide range of localities, mostly by bus, and the opinions of the local people in a time of transition.

All three books are on sale individually (both Kindle/epub and paperback), and come with favorable reviews.
