Lost Lycaon

Forever lost in the world of the wild. I am a proud supporter of the Waterberg Wild Dog Initiative - www.waterbergwilddogs.org.za

[lost-lycaon]

Underdogs are a passion, especially the African Painted Dog, or Painted Wolf. I support the Waterberg Wild Dog Initiative based in South Africa, which researches and monitors free-living wolf packs in the Waterberg area of South Africa. Instead of surviving on nature reserves, they range across privately owned farmland. This is the key to species survival - coexistence between humanity and the wild.

I published three novels on Painted Wolves, stories from their point of view, as a fundraiser for the Waterberg Wild Dogs. Available on Amazon and Google Books, all proceeds go to the dogs.

Also available is We Shall Endure, a story of a doctor who searches for a more meaningful life in South Africa, but finds helping people is not straightforward in a world scarred by privilege and poverty. Her path crosses a hyena cast out of his clan in search of a new one. We are all looking for a clan of our own, whether hyena or human.

Death Will Know My Name is the first of the series, and is available for free download on Google Drive!

Take a harrowing journey through the bush veld with Blackthorn, a lone Painted Wolf who is searching for another of his kind, not knowing if he is indeed the last.
