Hi! - My name is James Clark, I am a freelance writer and a Member of the Association of Investigative Journalists. In my previous life I was the Chief Executive of a UK Travel Agency which had some 208 franchised outlets. On selling my shares in the company, I took my seminar lecture notes and put them into a book on starting and running a flight and travel agency from home, and my career as a freelance writer began.

I am too ancient now to pursue my main hobbies of sailing and rock climbing and now have to settle for the gentler pursuits of photography, driving my Louis XIV Lexus, indulging my Grandchildren, collecting and reading poetry books and of course travelling.

I have written articles on travel and related subjects for National Newspapers, and continue to write travel commentary.

In my long life, prior to being in the travel industry I have had a number of occupations including the Royal Navy followed by many years in a senior position in the motor trade.

As a freelance writer I have put my researching skills to good use and have written about various hobbies and occupations into which I have gained an insight as an 'insider'. These have been published in information e-book form and are available by just clicking on the navigation buttons on this page and clicking on the buy now button for each individual item.

My business card reads - Soldier of Fortune - International Dilettante - Connoisseur of Fine Wines - Bars Emptied - Knight Errant - World Traveller - Dragons Slain - Alligators Wrestled - Freelance Writer - "A Legend in his own mind" I guess that just about sums me up.
