My book is finished.
My book is called Ride the Rocket - Toronto Enabled. As the title implies - it's about Toronto.
Written over several visits, this is a family book - a humorous travelogue about a serious subject – disabled access to Toronto’s tourist attractions.
It’s also about family – meeting newly-discovered family and exploring the city with them.
It’s also about the differences between our languages – English and English. Yes, there are huge differences, and these differences led us into many humorous situations.
My main reason for writing Ride the Rocket is because so many travel guides show the wheelchair accessibility symbol. However, when you arrive at a tourist attraction you sometimes get in through the front door only to discover parts of the attraction, often the best bits, are not accessible.
I have explored Toronto through disabled eyes. I’m qualified to do so because of major spinal injury that forced me to use a wheelchair for a short time so I saw just how easy, or how difficult, things can be for disabled visitors. I have to tell you that Toronto comes out extremely well especially with the amount of help Torontonians offer disabled visitors, either wheelchair users or anyone requiring just a little extra help.
Ride the Rocket - Toronto Enabled, is self-published and available in paperback and e-book format through Amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com and Lulu.com.
