Biography

I live in South Africa, currently animal manager of The Ann van Dyk Cheetah Center. I have worked with wildlife in Africa for over 40 years, although originally from Scotland. My passion is animals, I enjoy travelling, public speaking. As far as my writing career, my brain is not quick enough to convert my ideas into words!!!!! With only 2 fingers to type I am way behind on what is lurking in the dark recesses of my mind. They'll come eventually when I can type with 3 fingers
