ADVENTURER & AUTHORTHE PANTS OF PERSPECTIVE
One woman’s 3,000km running adventure through the wilds of New Zealand
Anna was never anything like those “real” runners on telly – all spindly limbs, tiny shorts, and split times – but when she read about New Zealand’s 3,000-kilometre-long Te Araroa Trail, she began to wonder…perhaps being a “real” runner was overrated. Maybe she could just run it anyway?
★★★★★ “A thrilling coming of age journey that’ll make you yearn for adventure” – RUNNER’S WORLD
“Love the way Anna writes about her adventures. Her style is super fun and natural, and she beautifully describes the details. If there’s ever a “director’s cut” version released which is twice the length of this one, I’d read it!”
– Sophie, Amazon –
THE UNITED STATES OF ADVENTURE
A life-changing journey by bike through every state of America
Disillusioned with corporate London life and with no previous experience as a long-distance cyclist, Anna decides to clamber atop a beautiful pink bicycle (named Boudica) and set out on an 11,000-mile journey on her own, through each and every state of the USA.
★★★★★ “Such a refreshingly entertaining and honest style. A fantastic read!”
“Wow! Just wow! I had a feeling I would like this book, but I didn’t think I would LOVE it and LOVE it I did.”
– Kristi, Good Reads
LLAMA DRAMA
A two-woman, 5,500-mile cycling adventure through South America
**WINNER of the Amazon Storyteller Literary Award**
Why take the shortest, most direct route through life, when you could choose the wiggliest, most mountainous one possible?
Armed with a limited grasp of Spanish and determined to meet as many llamas as possible, Anna and her friend Faye set off on a 6-month journey along the spine of the largest mountain range in the world – the Andes.
★★★★★ Llama Drama is simply hilarious. If anyone wants something witty and moving at the same time. Also, something empowering, then this is the one for them. I literally inhaled it.” – Claudia Winkleman, TV Presenter and Author
“This is a book I could not put down – every day was different and Anna carried me through every exciting mile of it. A truly wonderful book that should inspire us all – young and old! ”
