I have written a book (series of humourous short stories) of my adventures over the years backpacking, mostly alone, in my blue wheelchair. The book, "Travels in a Blue Chair", documents my experiences over all 6 continents and thru 28 countries, containing over 55 stories.
The blog is about pulicising the book, to make people aware that it exists!
I think that disabled youth, their family and friends need positive books about disabled triumphs.
For further info on the author and the book, please visit my website...

So far, the response to the book has been fantastic and I know that you will enjoy it....a twist on the usual backpacker!
The book is available online in the US from Amazon, in Canada at Chapters/Coles, in the UK from Tesco and Amazon, in Europe on Amazon, in N. America from iUniverse.com, but sadly, not yet available DownUnder
Cheers!
