Well, it's that time of year again - I'm heading back to Africa. Being an all work, no play kind of guy, I'm kicking off my trip with some touring to promote my latest book, 'DARK HEART'. (OK, so it's not really like working, but please come and listen to my jokes, and remember to laugh).

I'll be speaking in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban - see below for dates, times and places.

Happy New Year, Legion of Fans (LOF). I'm kicking off 2013 with a bit of shameless self promotion in 'Escape' Magazine today (Escape is the travel supplement in various major Sunday newspapers around Australia).

Today's missive is about luxury train travel in South Africa which is something dear to my heart and, if you're read 'IVORY', you'll know a certain train is also very near and dear to Alex the pirate and his lady friend Jane. Enough said.

As you blog followers may have guessed I have been favouring Facebook over the blog lately, but felt that I must also share the following video with y'all here (I just shared it on FB).

I'm not, as a rule, given to sharing stuff other people have posted, but this movie of a leopard in South Africa (the setting is not specified, but it looks like the Sabi Sand Game Reserve to me) by Martha van Rensburg is just breathtaking.

Nice story from the Melbourne Herald-Sun on yours truly and the release of my latest novel, 'DARK HEART'. And this is where I always work, sitting in the sun in a field of three-foot-high snake- infested grass in the Mukuvusi Woodlands game park in the middle of downtown Harare.

First reader to correctly identify a mammal other me in that picture will win a free copy of my fifth book, 'Ivory'.
