Hi,

Bonnie, my wife now, was a great world traveler. During her traveling she fell down a Mayan pyramid and became a paraplegic. We met and married 5 years after her injury and continued traveling the world together. I have written a book about us.

The book, "May You Have an Interesting Wife!" is available for sell through the Amazon Kindle store, but I am also willing to send out a limited number of copies free in PDF form if you email me at UPRFORUM@PEOPLEPC.COM

The UK Spinal Injury Assoc have a monthly magazine called Forward and they're latest issue has 2 or 3 book reviews. You could contact them too.

And then contact all other Spinal Org's (Scotland has a seperate org), disability travel web sites, and so on... There are many org's that work with spinally injured such as Back Up (travel/sport), The Wheel Life, Aspire, etc. When you find these site, follow the links to other sites.
