Wanted! Travel companion for all expenses paid trip to South America
Jonathan Cork has left his job, rented out his flat and has two tickets for the trip of a lifetime travelling around South America. But with just days to go, hes dumped by his girlfriend, Kate Thornly. Even worse, a life-threatening allergy means he cant travel alone.
Unable to change the name on the spare ticket and fast running out of time, Jonathan resorts to desperate measures. He advertises on eBay for a travel companion with the same name as his ex-girlfriend. The problem is, its a complete lottery who hell end up with.
Kate Thornly (the second) is aware of the unusual eBay auction, but she cant be persuaded to bid. Enter Maria, her best friend, who secretly applies on her behalf. With her nursing credentials and erotic photo, Kate seems like the perfect travel companion. But theres just one small detail Marias conveniently left off Kates bid
Told from both Jonathan and Kates perspectives, The Travel Auction is a funny, page-turning, roller-coaster ride around South America.
Hi there. Thanks for your interest in me and my first eBook: The Travel Auction. Its both exciting and nerve-wracking to think that strangers will be reading my work and forming opinions about its worth. Although its a work of fiction, the books journey through Argentina, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil is the same trip I made with my girlfriend Nicky (who is now my wife) in the autumn of 2007. Ive always wanted to write, but I struggled academically in my early years. I left school at sixteen to train as an apprentice electrician and with some hard work I ended up with my own project management business. But by the age of thirty-two I became disillusioned with the soulless nature of the construction industry, so I took some time out to pursue my passion for creativity. I enrolled on a Master of Arts degree in screenwriting at Bournemouth University and since graduating Ive tailored pretty much everything in my life around making time to write. The idea for The Travel Auction came to me late in the summer of 2006. Id paid for two airline tickets to visit a friend in Qatar, but found myself minus a girlfriend to accompany me. I tried to change the name on the spare ticket, but it was too near the departure date and the travel company wouldnt offer a refund. It struck me that I might have an interesting premise for a book or film script. When Im not writing or working at several quirky jobs to pay the bills, I like to relax by competing in the high adrenalin sport of Australian surf boat racing. Thanks for looking me up, I hope you enjoy reading my book. Please consider writing a review good, bad or indifferent, its always useful to know what readers think.
