Simon Sellars, creator of ace JG Ballard site Ballardian.com, also regularly writes for Lonely Planet. He's contributed sections to the Lonely Planet Japan and Micronesia , and has now co-authored one of LP's first forays away from the guidebook format with the quirky Micronations.

I've reviewed Micronations over on my travel blog Travelhappy, which has had a bit of a makeover as well.

Currently planning to move all of Spike onto Wordpress - if anyone knows someone who can cut and paste 600+ pages into a database without fucking it up for a pittance, let me know.
