I'm a husband, father and recently a grandfather, these are my most important biographical features.
I have numerous technical and financial qualifications, having held executive positions with numerous listed and private companies across the globe, none of which are relevant to my writing. I served my country faithfully in the 'bush wars' an experience which has had an influence on my writing. I love my God, my wife, my family, my way of life and my country equally.. and each feel the same way about me.
My writing started with the Children's fables each containing subtle, and sometimes not so subtle messages to my three grandchildren that might provide guidance in their navigation of our ever-changing and confusing world. My novel writing started as a result of the free time the Covid 19 pandemic created so I sat down and gave it a try, to discover another new delight I didn't know existed.
I live and write in paradise, a village called Knysna in the heart of the garden route on the south coast of South Africa where every passing day is a new blessing.
I aspired to these values - Honesty, Dignity and Respect in my quest to become a happier human being. I often fall down and get up again, but I think its starting to work!!! Thank you for your interest in my stories...I pray they shine more light into your life as they have mine.
The promise of impartiality to ourselves can only occur when we treat others the same way and is part of what makes each of us unique and special. This fable is a promise made between a fox cub and a sage hedgehog to treat one another as special by recognising one another as individuals, and to avoid arranging foxes and hedgehogs into groups, the cause of much of the prejudice and sadness we see in the world today. By treating one another as special and unique, we enhance our relationship with those arounds us, making you and I even more special in our exceptionality. Children are naturally impartial to others, but the world around us sometimes pushes them away from that blessing. Let's nurture it together and make our world a little more cheerful to use Hendra Hedgehog's words.
