Welcome

to my occasional newsletter about

my ‘novel’ effort to fund-raise for mother-tongue schools, Nyae Nyae Village schools and other stuff, like living, writing, trancing, dancing, healing and helping.

Here you’ll get a glimpse into a fascinating, indigenous group in the Kalahari desert with whom I’ve worked, the Ju|'hoansi people. And you’ll be first to know about my e-book and audiobook launches, discounts, promotions

Plus bonus content for paid subscribers

Over on my paid newsletter, I’m starting to publish chapters of my second Koba novel, Kalahari Passage. (Taster excerpt at the end of this previous post.) Book 2 is about Koba’s return to her people after her imprisonment. The subscription cost is US$5 a month– just over $1 a week per chapter. My income from all subs. goes to the JDF (Ju|’hoan Development Fund) and will be used to support a feeding scheme in the mother-tongue schools in the Nyae Nyae conservancy.

However, if you can’t afford the subscription but would still like to read the story in serial form, please contact me. A plan can be made for anyone kind enough to respond to a story reviewed as “Beautiful and gripping” by the Guardian.
