    Thinking of writing a book about your camino?

    Hi, Just a last few words about writing books about the Camino. When I started writing my novel, my overriding emotion was one of disbelief: what was I trying to do here? Write a comic thriller set on the Camino? Nonsense. Totally inappropriate. I felt like a traitor, devaluing a wonderful...

    Thinking of writing a book about your camino?

    Just had a strange Camino writing experience. Had done little bits of the Portuguese and Frances routes before, but in April 2010 headed for St Jean to do the whole Frances. Fell in with a dozen or so younger characters and really enjoyed Camino and company. Being the sole Scot, my Glasgow...
