Would you risk deportation by illegally teaching English (with a fake American accent) just so you could scrape together the money to travel? And would you even want to roam the world for eight months on a budget so minuscule that you were forced to use paperbacks as loo roll and boil your own drinking water?
Lisa and her husband Graham did both. Their hilarious trip saw them buying snacks from ‘voodoo vendors’ in Taiwan, almost drowning off a Philippine beach, stumbling across ‘death porn’ in Thailand and meeting The Bogeyman in a Pushkar restaurant.
While abroad they contracted a serious case of travel seekness – an irresistible urge to go in search of places to be, people to see and strange stuff to eat – which compelled them to do World Heritage Shites in Egypt, evade Guinness-swigging swingers in a Dublin pub and fly to Cuba with a suspected terrorist.
Written in a chemo ward following a devastating cancer diagnosis, and completed during the CV-19 lockdown, Travel Seekness is both a hair-raising litany of messes, misadventures and misfortunes and a poignant story capturing Lisa and Graham’s love for travel and, ultimately, each other.
If you enjoy the witty, observational humour of David Sedaris and Bill Bryson, you’ll love this unforgettable book by Graham Williams and Lisa Jackson, the best-selling author of Running Made Easy and the award-winning Your Pace or Mine?
Travel Seekness offers all the fun of travelling abroad – with none of the bed bugs!
Would you risk being arrested by Iran’s secret police or subject yourself to a ‘torture massage’ in North Korea just so you could say you’d survived to tell the tale? And would you even want to share a crude-oil bath with a retired croc hunter in Azerbaijan? Or pull a golden ring from a turd?
Graham and his wife Lisa have done all of these things. In journeys spanning the globe, they’ve also visited Kashmir when it was the most dangerous place on earth, encountered sucking sharks off Belize and a slapdash psychic in Miami, braved burning barricades in riot-torn Bolivia and been fondled by an elderly voodoo priest in Benin.
Written in a chemo ward after a devastating cancer diagnosis, and completed during the Covid-19 lockdown, Travel Agents – the warm and witty follow-up to the best-selling Travel Seekness – continues the unforgettable story of Lisa and Graham’s hilarious and often hair-raising escapades around the world.

Lisa Jackson is a surprising cheerleader for the joys of running. Formerly a committed fitness-phobe, she became a marathon runner at 31, and ran her first 56-mile ultramarathon aged 41. And unlike many runners, Lisa's not afraid to finish last - in fact, she's now done so in 25 of the 100-plus marathons she's completed so far.
But Your Pace or Mine? isn't just Lisa's story, it's also that of the extraordinary people she’s met along the way - tutu-clad fun-runners, octogenarians and 250-mile ultrarunners - whose tales of loss and laughter are sure to inspire you just as much as they've inspired her.
This book is for anyone who longs to experience the sense of connection and achievement that running has to offer, whether you're a nervous novice or a seasoned marathoner dreaming of doing an ultra. An account of the triumph of tenacity over a lack of talent, Your Pace or Mine? is proof that running really isn't about the time you do, but the time you have!

In this riveting page-turner from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson, a woman searches for the mother she hasn't seen in twenty years, and uncovers a nightmare of greed and deception. . . .
In death, Didi Storm is finally getting the kind of publicity that eluded her in life. Twenty years ago, the ex-beauty queen worked the Vegas strip as a celebrity impersonator, too busy trying to make it big to spare much time for her daughter, Remmi. Shortly before she leaped from a San Francisco building, Didi's profile was rising again, thanks to a tell-all book. To Detective Dani Settler, it looks like a straightforward suicide, or perhaps a promotional stunt gone wrong. But Remmi knows the truth isn't so simple. Because though the broken body on the sidewalk is dressed in Didi's clothes and wig, it isn't Didi.
Remmi was fifteen when she last saw her mother. Their parting came in the aftermath of a terrible night in the Mojave desert when Remmi-who'd secretly stowed away in Didi's car en route to meet her crush, Noah Scott-instead became witness to a mysterious rendezvous. Didi handed over one of her newborn twins to a man Remmi didn't recognize. Subsequently, Didi disappeared, as did Remmi's other half-sibling. Remmi has pleaded with the authorities to find them, but there have been no clues. Yet she's always had the sense that someone is watching her. . . .
If the victim isn't Didi, who is it-and what's the connection? Remmi is shocked when Noah resurfaces. He was also in the desert that night, and now runs his own PI firm. He too believes it's time to find out what really happened. As they and Detective Settler dig deeper, the truth about Remmi's missing family begins to emerge . . . a story of ruthless ambition and twisted lies that someone will kill again and again to keep hidden . . .

Among them is Adria Nash, who has arrived in Oregon, claiming to be London-but, unlike the others, she's different: she knows personal details only London could have known.
