Blending a mother's devotion to her loved ones and the thrill of the open road, Clancy Goes to France is an inspiring story of how life should be about shared experiences and the appreciation of simple pleasures. This memoir celebrates the lessons passed on from parent to child and illustrates how a love of travel binds the generations of a family. The story lends itself as a travel guide to France's most alluring destinations and includes practical tips for making the most of travels with young children. If driving in France is something you enjoy this memoir will inspire you to jump on the next ferry and start your next European road trip . Those wishing to plan a French vacation should read this to understand the diversity that France has to offer. There is so much more than Paris on offer if you get off the beaten track. Emma Kate takes you through the Loire Valley past Bordeaux to the Aquitaine before crossing The Pyrenees to the Mediterranean Sea. A short stop in Provence and trips to the Camargue and in search of Lavender also give you inspiration to drive where it would be so easy to simply enjoy one place. Sit back and enjoy the journey through France on the back roads as you read this inspirational travel memoir. An Interview With The Author It’s very obvious that driving in France is a passion you have inherited from your father but what inspired you to write your own books about France? That’s an easy one. When it comes to travel books France is one of the countries I read about often. There are plenty of guide books and travel memoirs but I wanted to share my unique experience with my father through my own words. Having a vintage car like Clancy only enhances the journeys we take. I’ve read comments which put you into the category of inspiring women writers, how do you feel about that? It’s a bit strange actually. I simply write from my heart about the things that are important to me, but to be told I’m inspiring is very humbling. It means I’m doing a good job I guess! There are quite a lot of travel memoirs by women out there. Do you get a chance any of them? I love reading and escaping, I find it inspiring in both my personal life and when it comes to writing. With that said, it’s a novelty at the moment, my time is filled with being a single mum and writing whenever I can. In your book and on your website it’s very clear to see that you place huge value on the mother and daughter relationship you have with Lola. What message could you give to other parents who are struggling with maintaining a work life balance? As far as I’m concerned we all have choices. It comes down to priorities and for me I just don’t want to waste the time I have with my loved ones. I have chosen to live a simple life in order to allow me the privilege of more time with them. It’s hard to step back and look at the big picture but when you can do this and really think about what’s important to you it’s amazing what you can achieve. I notice that Clancy Goes To France is part of a series. Will there be any more France travel memoirs any time soon? I have one which I am writing at the moment and a second which I need to pop over to research! The plan for the foreseeable future is to not limit the series to France but also take people on our journeys on the back roads of Italy and Spain. There is so much to see and it is a great way to educate your children along the way.

Book excerpt: The paths of three strangers collide on a desperate road trip along Route 66. One is running away, one is racing the clock, and the child who binds them merely hopes to survive. Middle-aged widow Mabel Crowley hasn't felt needed in years. But when a homeless child named Stryker shows up at church one Sunday, Mabel's life takes a drastic turn. George Stanton is not who he seems. Running from the law in his brand new 1955 Lincoln Continental, he's planning a mad dash to Mexico to leave his past behind. He can't let an old woman and a sick kid get in his way. Eleven-year-old Stryker has never eaten with utensils and doesn't know how to read, but she can identify the make, year, and model of every car on the road. She won't reveal the identity of her mother or why she's been told to never let her tattered stuffed monkey out of her sight. Mabel races against time to save Stryker's life. George only wants to save his own skin. Soon their destinies become irrevocably entwined, and the road they choose could change their lives forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2003. The NATO-led Operation Allied Force was fought in 1999 to stop Serb atrocities against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. This war, as noted by the distinguished military historian John Keegan, "marked a real turning point . . . and proved that a war can be won by airpower alone." Colonels Haave and Haun have organized firsthand accounts of some of the people who provided that airpower-the members of the 40th Expeditionary Operations Group. Their descriptions-a new wingman's first combat sortie, a support officer's view of a fighter squadron relocation during combat, and a Sandy's leadership in finding and rescuing a downed F-117 pilot-provide the reader with a legitimate insight into an air war at the tactical level and the airpower that helped convince the Serbian president, Slobodan Milosevic, to capitulate.
