I am pleased to be featured as a guest on Beetley Pete’s blog where I talk about how I turned my own travel experiences into books for kids.
I am delighted to be able to bring you a guest post from the lovely Darlene Foster, a Canadian blogger and published author.
Here is her own short bio.
Brought up on a ranch in Canada, Darlene dreamt of travelling the world and meeting interesting people. She has always loved to tell stories and was encouraged by her grade three teacher to write them down. She is the author of the exciting adventure series featuring 12-year-old Amanda Ross who loves to travel. Readers of all ages enjoy travelling with Amanda as she unravels one mystery after another in countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Spain, England, Germany, Holland and her own country, Canada. When not travelling herself, Darlene divides her time between the sunny Costa Blanca of Spain and the west coast of Canada.
And this is her unedited guest post.

Thanks, Anne. People often ask me how I got started writing my books and where I get my ideas from.

Congratulations on the reblog. I think the way you have developed your travel series is wonderful. As adults we are excited but in a different way. Your way of tying a child’s perspective with an adventure is the best way to experience new worlds. You are awesome!

Thanks, Jennie. I love this blogging community.

You are welcome, Darlene. I feel the same way. When Pete posted about a fellow blogger who had been absent but was fine, that struck me as a real community. Our community. ❤️

Darlene I loved to read how Amanda in Arabia came to be. Wonderful that you knew from such a young age what you wanted in life. As I’ve often said you are inspiring in the way you have made your dreams come true.

It’s interesting as not everything did turn out the way I planned. You know, “Life happens when you’re making other plans.” But in some ways, it turned out even better. I have always been able to face challenges and turn things around, instead of crying the blues. Dad always said, “Life is what you make it.” xo
