Smith, Mervyn: - Mervyn Smith worked in the motorcycle industry for 30 years, travelling extensively in the UK and abroad in the pursuit of business. He has long been fascinated by travel stories and what motivates people to do out-of-the-ordinary things for others. A lifelong motorcyclist, he divides his time between long rides to anywhere, a garden that is just too big to be manageable, public speaking, writing and spending time with family and friends. He lives with his wife, Liz, in rural Shropshire and this is his first book.
