From the Author

Just Us Two is not only for bikers but for anyone who likes to read about others' experiences and travels. Just Us Two is a light-hearted true story. Initially, I included tales of travel by more conventional means as, at this period in our lives, we were able to extend our horizons in more ways than one. Eventually, I kept the focus to our Gold Wing experiences. Currently I am writing the sequel to this and will follow with 'Island Interludes'.

Writing was an emotional experience and a learning curve in itself. However the hardest part is keeping a focus on marketing opportunities and this has been another steep curve on my lifelong learning journey as I have developed my website,blog and social networking platforms.

Enjoy!
