An entertaining and enjoyable read. I have already enjoyed all of Simon’s wonderful travel memoirs, but he has now effortlessly and successfully turned his hand to the cozy mystery genre. Set in a make-believe British seaside town, this engaging and e ...more |

The Topsy-Turvy Lives of Hattie Kildare (Middle Falls Time Travel #20)
by Shawn Inmon (Goodreads Author) |

I’ve read and enjoyed every single one of Shawn’s Middle Falls Time Travel Stories. Shawn just seems to get better and better at creating captivating characters and believable stories that delight readers. And Hattie Kildare didn’t disappoint. This t ...more | |
“For some people, the lure of travelling and exploration is just too strong to resist. I have jokingly called this the ‘Itchy Feet Syndrome’. Years ago, you would have been able to spot this person easily, as their passport would have been filled with exotic stamps and visas. Today, they are likely to have a mass of photos and travel stories uploaded onto their Facebook page or blog.
So what makes some people reach for their passport at every opportunity? What inspires them to leave home and travel the world on a sailboat or in a converted van? Is it simply a need to explore and see what is around the next corner? Or is it a deeper desire to be free, to live a simpler life?
On talking to many of the authors who have contributed their travel story to this anthology, it became clear that having ‘Itchy Feet’ is a real thing. Many have described how they felt this way from a young age, or even inherited this from their parents or grandparents. What is clear is that their desire to travel is so strong they cannot resist the attraction of the next new place or experience.”
