4,000 miles of unpredictable ocean 500 Mars bars 124 days of physical exertion 3 Guinness World Records set On 1 April 2009, twenty-three-year-old Sarah Outen embarked on an ambitious voyage across the Indian Ocean in her rowing boat, Dippers. Powered by grief at the sudden loss of her father and a determination to live life to the full, she became the first woman and the youngest person to row solo from Australia to Mauritius. She negotiated wild storms, faced the threat of being capsized by passing container ships, and was thrilled by encounters with whales. Life-aﬃrming, funny and poignant, Sarah’s salty tale of courage, endurance and adventure will inspire everyone.

‘One of the most inspired and tenacious expeditions of a generation’ Mark Beaumont, BBC Presenter ■ The author has a well-established blog at www.sarahouten.co.uk, and has raised over £30,000 for arthritis charities. ■ Sarah will be followed by BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour on her ‘London to London: Via the World’ trip.

Sarah Outen has toured the world as a motivational speaker. Her next voyage, ‘London to London: Via the World – A Sarah-powered Loop Around the Planet’, begins on 1 April 2011 from Tower Bridge: a two-and-a-half-year expedition to row, cycle and kayak solo around the world. Media opportunities: photos available; extracts/serialisation. Feature angles: lone female endurance expedition; bereavement; rheumatoid arthritis awareness. Author is available for interview prior to the commencement of her next expedition in April 2011.

Taking the World to the South Pole Eight Women, One Unique Expedition Felicity Aston ISBN: 978 1 84953 134 4 £8.99 129x198mm 320pp Paperback March 2011 Rights: World Sales Territories: Worldwide

Could YOU ski to the South Pole? That was the challenge that British adventurer Felicity Aston put to women from around the Commonwealth, as she set out to create the most international all-female expedition ever to the Pole. The team would not be experienced explorers but ‘ordinary’ women who wanted to inspire others to follow their dreams. She received more than 800 applications. ‘What is skiing?’ asked someone in Ghana. At the close of 2009, Felicity led a team from places as diverse as Jamaica, India, Singapore and Cyprus – some of whom had never even seen snow or spent the night in a tent before joining the expedition – on one of the toughest journeys on the planet.

Eighty-mile-an-hour winds ripped through base camp; frostbite and injuries were an everyday occurrence; deadly crevasses cracked beneath their feet. But they also shared beliefs, ideas, philosophies – and laughter. Felicity Aston, 33, is a British expedition leader, public speaker and freelance travel writer from Kent. Her past achievements include leading the first British women’s team across Greenland, completing the infamous Marathon Des Sables across the Sahara, as well as working as a meteorologist in the Antarctic for three years. www.felicityaston.com

In a desperate attempt to save his relationship with girlfriend Lena and take a break from journalism, Roger Boyes agrees to escape from the easy urban lifestyle of Berlin and decamp to the countryside: a run-down schloss in deepest, darkest Brandenburg.

Two Wheels Over Catalonia Cycling the Back Roads of North-eastern Spain Richard Guise ISBN: 978 1 84953 144 3 £8.99 129x198mm 320pp Paperback May 2011 Rights: World Sales Territories: Worldwide

Sixteen years aer first moving to Catalonia, Richard Guise finally finds time to slow down and explore the back roads by bicycle. With over 400 kilometres of sparkling Mediterranean shoreline and an interior dominated by the Pyrenees, it’s a spectacular journey from wind-blown headlands to the glitzy costas, and from bustling Barcelona to remote hillsides where only wild goats grazing and chirruping cicadas disturb the tranquillity. Dipping into the unique history of this fiercely independent nation-within-a-nation, he uncovers many of its cultural peculiarities, such as why the sardana dance is not as easy as it looks and what to do in a bugaderia. Chancing upon nudist beaches, ancient Iberian sites and revolutionary road-sweepers, this slow cyclist revels in authentic Catalonia.

Praise for Richard Guise: ‘just might make you stir your stumps and get on your own bike’ UNITE Magazine ■ A classic escapist read for the armchair cyclist, it will also prove invaluable for anyone planning a cycling or walking holiday in the region. ■ The first practical guide in English to the Vias Verdes – a growing network of old railways converted to cycle tracks.

Richard Guise is based in Quorn, Leicestershire and Girona, Spain.

■ Richard has been featured on BBC Radio 4's Excess Baggage.

Media opportunities: photos available; extracts/serialisation. Feature angles: Catalonia – past and present; mid-life longing for adventure; low-budget/lowcarbon-footprint travel. Author is available for interview.

■ Richard's previous books Over the Hill and Round the Bend, ISBN: 978 1 84024 743 5, and From the Mull to the Cape, ISBN: 978 1 84024 674 2, have sold 10,000 copies.

Too Narrow to Swing a Cat Going Nowhere in Particular on the English Waterways Steve Haywood ISBN: 978 1 84953 065 1 £8.99 129x198mm 320pp Paperback May 2011 Rights: World Sales Territories: Worldwide

She was particularly taken with the small narrow ledges that ran along either side of the boat. For a cat, four inches is an airport runway – she could dance a Moonwalk along them on her two hind legs, juggling at the same time.

Steve has a new member of crew aboard his narrowboat, Justice – but maybe not the kind he’d have wanted if he’d known the trouble she’d cause. Kit, an untidy bundle of fur with all the attitude you would expect from a ‘sarf Lunnun’ cat, joins him on a mission to discover lost parts of England. Steve gets a diﬀerent perspective on the modern world as he cruises the canals through a landscape unchanged for centuries, visiting picturesque towns and waterway festivals along the way. Steve Haywood is an award-winning TV producer, a former editor of BBC1’s Rough Justice and has worked for programmes as varied as Nationwide and Panorama. He writes a lively, provocative waterways column for Canal Boat, and is based in London. Media opportunities: photos available; extracts/serialisation. Feature angles: ships’ cats; waterways history; boating enthusiasts. Author is available for interview.

Praise for Steve Haywood: ‘Haywood imprints his inimitable humour on his descriptions of the people and places he meets along the way’ BBC1’s Countryfile ‘entertaining travelogue’ INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY ‘one of the better English canal travelogues of recent years’ WATERWAYS WORLD ■ Publication timed to coincide with the Canalway Cavalcade Festival in Little Venice, the beginning of the new cruising season. ■ Other titles by this author, Narrowboat Dreams, ISBN: 978 1 84024 670 4, and One Man and a Narrowboat, ISBN: 978 1 84024 736 7, have sold over 12,000 copies.

Cut oﬀ from civilisation, the Guiana Highlands that border Brazil are one of the least known regions on earth, until recently believed to be the location of El Dorado and the fabled tribe of Amazon warrior women. Inspired by young French explorer Raymond Maufrais, who went missing in the area in 1950, adventurer John Harrison and his wife Heather retrace his journey into the Amazon, with only a canoe and a shotgun for company. Unaided and oﬀ the map, they encounter jaguars and poisonous frogs, are threatened by malaria and almost lose their way entirely. This is an incredible story of a couple’s gruelling survival in the Amazonian wild. John Harrison's first book, Up the Creek: An Amazon Adventure, was described as ‘an admirable book by an admirable man’ in the Daily Telegraph and a National Geographic documentary was made about him in 1991. He lives in Bristol.

'a fine and funny book that will be relished by anyone who has dreamt of disappearing into the rainforest, but knows they never will' Anthony Sattin, THE SUNDAY TIMES 'An absorbing account of an obsessional journey into South America's unknown dark heart.' Matt Dickinson ■ The author, a seasoned motivational speaker, has given over 200 lectures in the last 25 years. ■ Will appeal to readers of The Man Who Swam the Amazon, ISBN: 978 1 84024 649 0, and Lost in the Jungle, ISBN: 978 1 84024 672 8.

‘Looks like not many tourists visit St Pierre et Miquelon,’ I mutter excitedly to Pip. ‘That is why this trip is going to be so brilliant.’ He looks at me questioningly. I am distracted by Gabriel’s unusually pallid face. ‘Oh my God, he’s going to be sick.’

Rosie set out on a tour of the French Overseas Departments and Territories (the ‘DomToms’) with her husband and four young children, partly to make a documentary series but also to show the children it is possible to survive fourteen weeks without Hannah Montana. From Martinique to Réunion, crossing five continents, they eat stewed iguana, 400 croissants and – since the budget is small – copious amounts of Campbell’s soup. Candid, darkly humorous and slightly mad, cut with a dash of French history, this memoir oﬀers insights, amusement and hope for anyone who has ever travelled en famille.

■ Author is a well-known journalist across the spectrum of the British press and commentator on television and radio. ■ Obvious appeal to harassed parents, who will identify with the trials, tribulations and trivial arguments of travelling with loved ones. ■ Francophiles can discover new realms of French culture. ■ A six-part TV series of the trip is to be broadcast on the Travel Channel in 2010.

Rosie Millard was the arts correspondent for the BBC for ten years and regularly writes for The Sunday Times. She lives in central London with her TV producer husband Pip Clothier and their four young children. www.rosie-millard.co.uk Media opportunities: extracts/serialisation.

When best friends become arch enemies – it’s murder...

In March 2000, police raided a central Dublin hotel and uncovered a 1.7 million drug-mixing factory. Of the three men arrested at the scene, just two were charged. The third, Declan Gavin, was labelled a ‘rat’. Within eighteen months he was dead, and a deadly gangland feud was born. Over the course of ten years, sixteen young men have been brutally murdered in tit-for-tat killings. Cocaine Wars chronicles the shocking story from the growth of the gang under the tutelage of notorious criminals ‘Fat’ Freddie Thompson, John Gilligan and Martin ‘The Viper’ Foley, to the ruthless way in which they established themselves as Dublin’s most feared drugs mob.

■ A number one best-seller in Ireland when published in 2010. It has not been released in mainland UK. ■ Will appeal to fans of Ross Kemp’s Gangs series. ■ TV3 drama based on the book starts filming in July with October release in Ireland – possible UK release by Bravo early 2011 to be confirmed.

Mick McCaﬀrey is the best-selling author of The Irish Scissor Sisters and has specialised in crime journalism for the last seven years. Media opportunities: extracts/serialisation in UK. Feature angles: underworld exposés and drug gang/prison culture. Author is available for interview.

■ Marley & Me meets The Wedding Planner.

It was two in the morning. We dragged ourselves out of bed and went downstairs again. The conservatory was devastated. Anything free-standing had been pulled over; anything wooden had been attacked. There, in the middle of the scene, the queen of chaos herself was standing on top of the table with rolling eyes and a tongue twice its normal length.

■ Dilger has done for the retired greyhound what John Grogan did for the Labrador.

Andrew had always wanted a dog. Tail going like a windscreen wiper, tongue a pink strip, wet-nosed, bright-eyed – what boy wouldn’t want such a force in his life? But a man of thirty-seven, just about to propose to his girlfriend? And an ex-racing greyhound?

■ Andrew’s brother Mike is natural history presenter on BBC’s The One Show.

This is a heart-warming memoir about adopting a champion greyhound bitch and her transformation into ring-bearer at her new owner’s wedding. Dash is far from perfect, but that’s half the fun. The novelty of a man trying to organise a wedding is the other half.

■ Over 5,000 greyhounds are adopted annually in the UK (and rising).

■ Famous greyhound enthusiasts include Twiggy, J. K. Rowling, Charlie Watts and Jilly Cooper.

Andrew Dilger is based in Oxford. He is a published poet and won the New Writer Poetry Competition. Media opportunities: photos available; extracts/serialisation.

Remember turning on the television and seeing shots of rockets fired at night in the first Gulf War, the first massacre victims in Kosovo, the US bomb that killed women and children in a bunker in Baghdad, and Mullah Omar declaring holy war for the Taliban? The men and women at the Frontline news agency believed the public should see the true horrors of war and courageously went where other news organisations feared to tread. Risking everything to show the truth, they travelled the world’s most dangerous places in a quest to live life to the full, a quest some paid for with their lives. This is their story.

‘An inch in the right direction is better than a mile in the wrong direction’ ‘If you think your life is bland, then you haven’t added enough flavour’ ‘People who live in glass houses should never undress’

In September 2009, London cabbie Mark Solomon began asking passengers in the back of his taxi for a random quote or proverb. It started spontaneously, to give him more purpose and direction, but he found that sharing these daily inspirations with others made them feel part of something special too.

■ An inspirational gi that will appeal to Londoners and visitors alike. ■ Mark received a slew of messages on his website aer appearing as a guest on BBC Radio 4’s All in the Mind in June 2010 to talk about the project. ■ Many of the passengers have asked if this would be turned into a book, and said they would buy it!

The project developed into a popular website (www.blackcabquotes.com), and now this pocket-sized book oﬀers the best thoughts for the day, ranging from the truly philosophical to the downright bizarre. Mark Solomon has been a licensed London taxi driver since 1999 and writes a regular column for the newspaper Taxi, published every two weeks for the 25,000 cabbies in London.

Four backpackers meet in Bolivia and set oﬀ into the rainforest on a dream expedition, lured by the promise of uncharted villages and forgotten tribes hidden in places tourists only dream of seeing. But what begins as the adventure of a lifetime quickly becomes a struggle for survival when they get lost in the wilds of the Amazonian jungle. Told with gripping immediacy, it’s an extraordinary, terrifying tale that you won’t be able to put down. ‘Every so oen an inspirational tale pops up that is simply better or more frightening than anything Hollywood can create. Lost in the Jungle… is one of those’ SUNDAY EXPRESS ‘could easily happen to any one of us... this is certainly one journey you don’t want to miss’ REAL TRAVEL magazine

In her mid-thirties, fashion editor Karen has it all: a handsome boyfriend, a fab flat in west London and an array of gorgeous shoes. But when Eric leaves, she hangs up her Manolos and waves goodbye to her glamorous city lifestyle to go it alone in a run-down house in rural Poitou-Charentes, central western France. Perfect summer reading for anyone who dreams of chucking away their BlackBerry in favour of real blackberrying and downshiing to France. ‘crack open the vin rouge, unwrap the Brie and prepare to daydream’ LOOK magazine Featured in the DAILY MAIL and THE SUNDAY TIMES

‘A beautifully written and highly entertaining account of the upside of downshiing’ DAILY MIRROR
