“For me, words are more than symbols on a printed page. They possess textures, tones and power. My fascination with reading and writing started before I knew the alphabet, sitting at the bedside of my 100 plus year old great-grandfather. I would sit there, enthralled, watching and listening as he breathed life into words through stories, sermons and, sometimes, songs. My fate was sealed long before I reached the age of reason.

Road of Ash & Dust: Awakening of a Soul in Africa is a chapter in the saga of my life begun so many decades ago.”
