Next installment...

Part 2 of A Last Chance PowerDrive Completed! It is called Of Death and the Desert and will be published in a month or two. It deals with the existential problems of when you are ready for death and driving round in a desert on a bike. 

Photos of Part 1 are up available here Possibly even photos from Part 2 if you are inquisitive. 

Have finished first novel, Letter to India with my friend Lucy which will be published soon. Lots more writing projects on the go too; a book about teaching called 'The Two Rules to Teaching' and a Kids book set 250BC in North Africa.

Have started using twitter quite a lot @benedictbeau so keep up to date there. 

Right, back to crying over Murrays loss at the tennis.

You've read the Blog, now buy the book!

As you can see by the background change, the book is now has a rather good cover designed by my friends peterwoolf.com .  It is also published and available in the Amazon bookstore. Click here for details . It will shortly be available on Apples Ibooks and in Barnes and Noble too.  I would be very grateful for any feedback, even if it is constructive rather than positive!

A few photos from my trip are available here on my Flickr account. You can also connect to me in many ways, twitter, fb, linked in; all details are on my about.me/benedictbeaumont page.

Am halfway through Part 2, Confronting Death in the Desert, which I hope will be finished by August, and available in September. Part 3, Walking in a Buddhas footsteps may take slightly longer. Whilst I was in the Alps, I also completed a novel, co-written with my very good friend Lucy Robson. Letter to India is now searching for a publisher, but I will keep you updated. It is quite a dark little novel, all about grief and abandonment and the human condition. And there are a few naughty bits in it too.

I am now back in the sunny south coast teaching at a school in Eastbourne until the summer. Despite several offers of permanent teaching jobs I have so far refused them all to carry on this marvellous mad adventurous trajectory of writing, cooking, travelling but above living I seem to be on.

Much love
