Where Fact Meets Fiction: Memoirs & Publishing Guides

Welcome! This is the heart of my "Africa fiction/fact" brand—the place where real-life history and sweeping adventure collide.

My passion, as a former journalist and author of over 40 novels, is turning true stories into compelling narratives. This all started with my father's memoirs, which you can find here—his true-life accounts of investigating illicit diamond buying and chilling ritual murders as a District Commissioner in 1960s Lesotho.

Here, you can explore my family's non-fiction memoirs alongside my practical, step-by-step guides on how to self-publish your own memoir, family history, or novel.
