What's the story behind your latest book?
Bev and I sold up, and moved to a piece of land in the Kalahari. Wildlife has always been our passion. we wanted to start a wildlife sanctuary, using our own savings. Wow! we never anticipated the hostility towards our efforts by conservation authorities. "There is no conservation value in wildlife rehabilitation" was their mantra.
So we had to fight for our rights. Four years and two visits to the Constitutional Court later, we finally shook off the dead hand of bureaucracy. Now we could focus on rescuing wildlife. And we did. Kalahari Dream is our story.
How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
