September 2024: The Page Turner Book Awards announce their selection of Building The Beast”: How (Not) To Build An Overland Camper by travel writer Jacqueline Lambert, as a finalist in the Memoir section of the 2024 Book Awards.
Building The Beast is the comic memoir of a crazy idea. It follows the true story of how one married couple bought a 6 x 4-wheel drive, 24.5-tonne army truck blind off the internet to convert into an off-grid home-on-wheels fit to undertake an expedition to Mongolia with The Pawsome Foursome, heir four dogs.
Reviewers have described it as, “A quixotic twist (on the ‘renovating an old house’ story)”, “Hugely Inspirational!” and “So much more than the build. So far away from a ‘how to’ manual.”
Within months of release, Building The Beast was awarded a Readers’ Favorite 5* seal.
Building The Beast is Lambert’s seventh book. Her previous books follow the couple’s life since they quit work, rented out their house, sold most of their possessions, and set out to tour Europe full time with The Pawsome Foursome.
All have received multiple 5* reviews. Her third book, Dogs ‘n’ Dracula: A Road Trip Through Romania won the Chill With a Book PREMIER Readers’ Award and was a finalist in the Romania Insider Awards for ‘Best Promotion of Romania Abroad.’
As with all of Jacqueline’s books, Building The Beast is available to purchase as an e book or paperback on Amazon. https://author.to/JLambert
