I Love The Sea As Much As

I Go On A Hunting Safari At Least Once A Year To Botswana, Which Is Fantastic Because We Have A Huge Area Of Wilderness Entirely To Ourselves. My Island Covers Roughly 55 Acres, Which Again I Have To Myself, With Nearly Half A Kilometre Of Private Beach With My Own Jetties And Boats.

I'm Not A Prophet I Can Only Use Historical Reality To Come To A View Of The Future, And My View Is That Africa Will Return To Being African And Not European. The Advent Of Colonialism Was Foreign To The Country Itself, But It Will Return To What It Was Before The Europeans Arrived.

I Read All Of Rider Haggard's Books. For Me He Had The Romance Of Africa With A Little Bit Of Mysticism. I'm Delighted To Be Looked On As His Heir And Be Categorised As An Adventure Novelist Because That's Exactly What I Am.

I Am A Closet Birdwatcher. I Can Identify Southern African Species, But It Irks Me I Can Barely Tell A Jay From A Blackbird In The U.k.

I Put My Soul Into Every Book I Write.
