Romantic Adventure Thrillers
Born in Tanganyika (now Tanzania), my childhood was spent in many exotic locations thanks to my father’s job as a surveyor: the rugged bush of Kenya, a farm in Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), the remote Luangwa Valley Game Reserve and Lake Kariba (during the building of the world’s largest man-made dam).
My teenage years were spent at boarding school in South Africa, first in Lydenburg - a historic town high in the Mpumalanga hills, South Africa - then in Durban, Natal.
I now live on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. I have toured Australia extensively from coast to mountains and have written three novels set in this country.
Nisamehe ("Forgive Me" in Kiswahili) is the first of my four novels to be published. They are all romantic action/adventure thrillers. This is the only book set in Africa. My love of storytelling started at the age of eight whilst living in a remote part of Zimbabwe on the Zambezi River. Escaping my tutor, I’d go to my favourite rock pool, filled with tiny green turtles, and spend the day daydreaming adventure stories. Little appreciating, at the time, my own life was full of adventures.
I would love to hear if you enjoyed reading Nisamehe. It's a historical African adventure and a love story that explores the complicated relationship between wildlife protection, the rights of the local people and a struggle for independence.
The feedback I received on this novel was immensely valuable and positive. I encourage you to join my newsletter if you'd like to receive notifications about my upcoming novel releases.
