Having laboured as a garage mechanic, farmer, hotelier, property developer, ship manager, scribbler and overlander, James Marr reckons to be a Jack of many trades, though a master of none. Along with his wife, and an abundance of unwelcome wildlife, he’s recently been riding his truck through the Americas. James is the author of ‘City of Myths, River of Dreams’, an account of his overland journey through West Africa.
