I’ve been a nomad all my life. It’s my parents’ fault, really. They had itchy feet and took us with them to the UK and the Caribbean. When I was older, I travelled in America, South America, Europe and saw even more of the UK. I love visiting new places and meeting new people, so a travel blogging gig is a dream job for me.
I’ve just started blogging for the Eclectic Rebel travel blog. My first post looks at things to do on a layover in LAX. Visit, bookmark and don’t be afraid to show some social media appreciation. I’ll be blogging twice a week at first, but who knows what may happen? I’ll keep you posted.
I’ve been busy for the last couple of weeks, publishing lots of posts on the blogs where I contribute. Here are some of the recent ones on PiggyBankPie:
I’ve also been working hard on TechGerm:

Or should that be: writing for a books site? One of my latest gigs is writing for Webooks. It’s an ebook publishing site that is expanding to include articles related to the books’ content. I’ve written four articles for them so far, and two have been published. They are Moving Your Article From Mag To Web and Proofreading Tips For Writers. Hope you enjoy them. Bookmark my profile page so you’ll know when the next ones appear.
This is not so much a new writing gig, as a successor to an old one. I used to write for Garden and Hearth, which eventually became part of Life123. Hence, a new site and new articles, covering not only writing, but parenting and health issues. Here’s a list of what I’ve posted on that site so far:
