I am a long time member here in Ar and have worked in the Safari business since 1996 with a focus on Zimbabwe. I was born and live in Maine and still travel to Africa yearly.

Although my novel is fiction, the years of experiences while in Africa is the fuel for many of the events that transpire throughout the novel.
I am excited to share this story with the many Africa enthusiasts here on AR.

The book can be found at the link below on Amazon and many other sites. It is also available in the e-book form on Kindle.

Thanks and I look forward to feedback from many
of you.

Got your book on kindle. I just came back from Matetsi Area 5 on a non-trophy elephant hunt. Your book sure rings true. This was my second trip to Zim, and things sure aren't looking better. Stayed at the Kingdom in Vic Falls. Next time I'll hole up at Vic Falls Hotel.

Again, great read - thanks.

Thank you so much. Have you finished it?
If so would you be kind enough to post a review on Amazon.

Thanks and look forward to hearing some of your feedback. I ran Matetsi Unit 1 for three years. Very familiar with the area.

Will start reading next week as I need to finish current one
Can’t wait on this one

When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

Tim,I'll be glad to. Not doing comparisons but just what I read on the leaf has me thinking in terms of Ruarks "Something Of Value" + beau coup of Wilbur Smith.All of thats good.Just a thought;no conjecture without data.Best,Randy

I have actually gotten a few calls from the media due to the similarities in the book to the current situation in Zim. I am going on a radio program later this morning to discuss Zimbabwe.

Tim, great book so far. Can't believe how it dovetails with the current situation in Zimbabwe.

Thank you. And yes, I am a little shocked at the similarities and how soon it has come to fruition.

Many of you on here bought my first novel, "Sibanda" and provided great reviews. For that, I am extremely grateful.

For those of you interested, my publisher has offered the Kindle version on Amazon in three parts with the first part free.
