I'd like to introduce me new literaryv travel guide to Istanbul.Istanbul, City of the Green_Eyed Beauty. Following the footsteps of writers Pierre Loti, Barbara Nadel and Orhan Pamuk, I explore districts abd sites of Istanbul which are off the beaten path as well as shedding a different light on some better known places. Read the introduction and a summary and look at some of the book's pictures on the special page of my blog, www.glamourgrannytravels.com/book.

I love books that tell a great story but I want to learn something at the same time. I knew that since Tripatini member Linda Ballou was a travel writer that I would learn about Hawaii but what I didn't realize is that she is a beautiful writer. This story takes place at the time in history where the Hawaiians are introduced to the Europeans as seen from the Hawaiian viewpoint. It is a story about a strong woman living in a country warlike country. Just get that picture of peaceful Hawaiians out of your head. She weaves a tale that keeps you intrigued all the way to the end. This is a great read about a fierce heroine. In fact, I liked the story so much I asked Linda to do an interview for my blog.  Follow this link to read her interview. http://thebesttravelnovels.blogspot.com/2011/10/travel-to-hawaii-wi...

Hi eveyone,

I am starting a new blog the Best Travel Novels, so let me know if your novel is set in a far away land, and if you like to be featured. Just e-mail me at carabertoia@yahoo.com I am trying to get new authors exposure. I also think you will enjoy learning about the countries an the author writing process.

Please everyone take a look, tweet and follow.

This week I am happy to present Marita Hansen, and her highly praised novel set in New Zealand. In my years on cruise ships I visited New Zealand many times, a chapter in my novel is even set there. It is a beautiful country filled with the friendliest people I have ever met. Many times the casino staff doubled as tour guides, giving me the chance to visit the Maori community in Rotorua,so I was aware of the social tensions that exist in New Zealand. Like Last Exit to Brooklyn by Hubert Selby or Push by Sapphire, this novel is a graphic look at the life in Claydon a suburb of Auckland. The novel vividly describes the life led by a group of young adults. In her post Marita tell you how this novel came to life. Follow this link to my blog: http://thebesttravelnovels.blogspot.com/

Thanks so much,
