Please do not offer me a free book in exchange for a review. Amazon no longer allows this, except (I believe) for ARCs. Feel free to ask me for a review. If I like the look of your book I will buy it and then review.

I began writing before I was 18, and have never stopped.

I have been a soldier, a merchant seaman, an agricultural development worker, a cubicle rat, and a preacher; and I have travelled throughout Southern Africa, and also to Europe, Asia, Australia and North America.

I married Chantelle in 1991 and cannot imagine being with anyone else.

I was partially disabled in a flying accident in 2002.

You can find an interview with more about me .

I work quite a bit with people who have broken lives, for one reason or another. I think that, perhaps, I process some of what I deal with when I'm sleeping. After waking up one morning with the tag end of a dream I began work on Frost. Although the dream had no direct correlation with the story, it's fair to say that it was the trigger. I hope that's an adequate answer!(less)

Seared Green Spring

In searing heat,
dry as ashes
swept from the hearth,
the riverbed bakes;
a clay oven.

Springtime crackles
through new-leafed branches,
rough wind rips at helpless limbs,
and the green leaves tumble,
whirl confused in twisting airs;
come rustling to a heartbeat’s rest,
and then to shatter
under the careless tread
of dusty boots.

Unschooled young leaves are
caught up in the tumult and the terror
of the plans and pu Read more of this blog post »

An engaging couple and a gripping story, sprinkled with some delightful comic lines, made this a very enjoyable ride. The nefarious causes of life-threatening events emerged from the shadows through the course of the story; the way Gibson handled thi ...more

“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.”
John Muir

“There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls. ”
George Carlin

“We have doomed the wolf not for what it is, but for what we deliberately and mistakenly perceive it to be –the mythologized epitome of a savage ruthless killer â€� which is, in reality, no more than a reflected image of ourself.”
Farley Mowat, Never Cry Wolf: The Amazing True Story of Life Among Arctic Wolves

“And this is what happened, ands this is why the caribou and the wolf are one; for the caribou feeds the wolf, but it is the wolf that keeps the caribou strong.”
Farley Mowat

“Whenever and wherever men have engaged in the mindless slaughter of animals (including other men), they have often attempted to justify their acts by attributing the most vicious or revolting qualities to those they would destroy; and the less reason there is for the slaughter, the greater the campaign for vilification.”
Farley Mowat, Never Cry Wolf: The Amazing True Story of Life Among Arctic Wolves
