As an author, Bill is probably better known, under his byline of
Sean Collins, for his books set in the shadowy world of global
intelligence. He has been contributing, under several bylines, to
international magazines and press for over four decades. As a
travel writer, critic and editor, Bill has travelled extensively,
from Taipei and Tahiti to Hong Kong and Bora Bora. In Travails
Abroad, he takes a retrospective look at the embarrassing dilemmas
and outright disasters which have befallen him: from being glued to
a jeep in Tahiti, being trapped in an outside toilet on a
mountaintop in Turkey, and trying to attract the attention of the
staff of a Berlin restaurant to the fact his wife was on fire. He
says: `all the disasters in this book are absolutely true - I have
witnesses. I trust what I endured may appeal to the reader's sense
of humour and sympathy - they certainly didn't appeal to mine at
the time...' Bill admits that potential travellers reading this
book could be forgiven for deciding to stay at home.
