Autorenporträt
Bulawayo was my home town. That's where I grew up and got my first job. Anyone who has lived in Africa, even briefly, will confirm you can never really leave it. No matter how far you travel, like the grass seeds that stick to your socks, Africa goes with you. I lived and worked in Zimbabwe/Rhodesia and South Africa for over thirty years, alternating between Bulawayo, Salisbury (Harare) and Johannesburg. The Bush War got serious while I was living in Hong Kong, and on my return to Rhodesia, I was called up for military service in the army. Professional qualifications in accounting and marketing helped me secure senior management positions with companies in diverse fields, including engineering, textiles, clothing and cosmetics manufacture, and service industries. Today, I live in Melbourne with my wife Maggie and write fiction set in Southern Africa, principally Zimbabwe. Since the turn of the century, that country has led a dark, surreal existence that keeps many people shaking their heads in disbelief. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
