Chap e-book – Of Emus and Seahorses
An emu struggles to raise his offspring and a seahorse dances with his mate before nurturing her eggs inside his pouch, two examples of males that carry the responsibility for caring for their young.

Debut Novel – The Okapi Promise
My debut novel, The Okapi Promise, is based on my adventures in Africa in 1990.
A cure for rabies is discovered in the heart of Africa. Two unknown adversaries join a small tour group to gain the serum. One wants to use the cure for the good of all mankind; the other for personal glory and profit.
The travellers are threatened by wild animals, tribal unrest, personal hardship and vehicle breakdowns. Set at the start of the Rwandan Civil War, the race to patent the new drug is against more than time.
The physical and emotional challenges of the journey across the whole continent leaves no-one unchanged—and one of them won’t come out alive.
