Bio
I was born in Rhodesia (now called Zimbabwe) and currently live in South Africa. From an early age, I seemed to have a knack for poetry. I have written a number of stories, poems, and several novels, ranging from fantasy to non fiction.

No Judgement in Mercy
The Kingdom of Nuimor was rich and beautiful. Dense forests covered most of the land through which rivers meandered, many of them flowing into Lake Penleche. There were two main mountain ranges, the largest of which were the Hastlam Mountains in the East. The most rugged was the Chadon range in the North. There the highest peak, Mount Ledal, towered above one of the most formidable forts that bore its name.

Lana's Tragedy
This is a story that happened in the mid-eighties just after I left school. I was biding my time, waiting for my call-up into the South African Defense Force in July of that year. I had found myself a part-time job in the city centre, and had to commute back and forth by bus from Van der Bijl Square, Johannesburg’s main bus depot. I was staying with my mother in the suburb of Berario, near to the famous landmark of Northcliff Ridge.

For a Year and a Day
It seems clear that the ‘sanctity’ of marriage has all but been forgotten. An estimated 50% of all married couples end up filing for divorce, and the only people who really benefit from this are the wedding planners and the divorce lawyers. Recently I read an article that asked the question: “What should one look for before getting married?” to which one person replied: “A good divorce lawyer.” Even though these words were said in jest, they do have a certain thread of truth to them. After all, a couple is advised to enter into a ‘Prenuptial Contract’ even before they even get married, and given the percentage of marriages that fail, this advice seems pretty sound.
