In August I tested the waters. “Would anyone like to collaborate on a free eBook of solo travel stories?,” I asked.

I raised this question on Solo Traveler, the Solo Travel Society on Facebook and on Twitter. The response was fabulous. In addition to all the people who showed their enthusiasim for reading the stories, there were ten wonderful individuals who actually contributed theirs. It was a real pleasure reading them and compiling the stories and photos into an eBook.
