26.02.03 :: Coming up in 2003 Josie is currently at home finishing off her new book, Slow Coast Home. Covering her journey around the coast of the British Isles over the last 2 years, it is scheduled to be published in September. In the meantime, you can catch up with Josie at the Wilderness Lectures event on 19th March in Bristol — telephone Steve Berry on 01453 844 400 for further details.  The
Sun In My Eyes, the second instalment of Josie's journey around
Japan, is published in paperback in the UK by Time Warner Paperbacks. Following on from A Ride In The Neon Sun, Josie returns to Japan and uncovers a country whose keyword is peace, yet spends millions each year on high-tech armament. Her travels are as fascinating as they are varied; she endures a horrific storm at sea, samples the deadly puffer fish and visits the two cities which will forever symbolise the horror of war: Nagasaki and Hiroshima. But wherever she goes, no matter how remote or industrious the area, Josie encounters the friendly, quirky and unbelievably generous Japanese people, from those who load her down with cabbages and cans of Pocari Sweat to one couple who left her the key to their shop - and told her to sleep by the till!
