A guest blog by my husband and author Roy:
In fact, I call this mobile lifestyle 'iPad Living'. Compact, imagination-friendly, clever.
Remember when computers were socking big boxes on your desk?
How much space do you really need in your life?
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van (long wheel base) has front seats that swivel around to make soft armchairs and there’s a club lounge and table at the back. The double bed comes humming down from the ceiling at a press of a button – no making up a bed, or living around one. And the club lounge ‘downstairs’ spreads out to become another double bed at the press of a button.

It works.
The moving pen
writes...
Or the mobile MacBook does, in my case.
I have successfully made my literary journey a literal journey.
We sold a five-bedroom house and hit the road a few years ago.
With an Internet connection, hotspotting our iPhones, we can
function on the dark side of the moon.
Or even in the Australian outback, about as close as you can
get to a moonscape.
As well as writing and publishing some twenty novels on Amazon
Kindle, it has even inspired me to write an Australian outback escape novel that includes an RV motorhome, a
world apocalypse and a family’s escape into outback Australia!
It’s called THE
HERO VIRUS
I can also
happily write fiction about ancient Egypt on the road – the Egypt of the Mind doesn’t
require me to be in Egypt, although we’ve made numerous research visits and
I’ve been studying the subject for most of my life.
Oh, and the perfect writer’s cabin also makes the perfect
reading room – a chance to read those books on your Kindle or iPad.

As for the view from my itinerant writer's cabin – that changes at will
to a mountain vista, a desert landscape, or a tropical beach.
Not for everyone, I suppose, if you’re tied to possessions.
But hey, that’s only stuff...
Experience is more inspiring.
