Never Mind the Bullocks

Never Mind the Bullocks

Published 2014 by Nicholas Brealey Publishing

“Terrific and terrifying in equal measure: a life-affirming, death-welcoming journey around the world’s most dangerous roads in a wheeled toaster oven.” – TIM MOORE

“Vanessa Able is doggedly intrepid, deliciously acerbic, keenly inquisitive and quite possibly mental.” – JAIDEEP VG, TIME OUT INDIA

“Downright inspirational.” – MONEYLIFE

“Traveling has never been this tough, never been this enjoyable and entertaining as Able takes you on a remarkable journey of humour through her scathing comments and lucid writing… A hilarious book, from an author that pulls no punches.” – POSTNOON

“…Dispenses with political correctness and is blunt about horns, headlights, hierarchies, stares, cops and toilets” – BUSINESS STANDARD



The Dewdrop

I founded The Dewdrop in 2018 as a way of thinking about being through literature, poetry and digging up ancient texts.

The Dewdrop has a dedicated readership through its weekly emails as well as a beautiful website that is expanding to feature new and original work by established and upcoming writers.
