    50 Camels and She's Yours

    A book well worth 50 camels. The launch at Heffers bookshop showcased the ability of each writer, who read excerpts from their chapters and had the audience by turns laughing and also slightly anxious – maybe that was just me – about the extreme situations they find themselves in, especially Jane, who describes being stuck in a very deep cave in Nepal.

    Himalayan Kidnap

    Himalayan Kidnap is an amazing story with an even better plot. It is very well read. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!
