Happy Monday all I hope your weekends were great

And welcome to the November featured monthly read. I have seen many programs lately on elephants being killed for their Ivory so this is indeed a timely read even though it's set a ways back in the past.

So let’s get chatting about it

Gareth will of course be here looking over our shoulders so if you have a question for him ask away!

Gareth it’s so good to have you back on this side of the ocean well virtually anyway and thank you for agreeing to be our author of the month for November.

This novel has a special meaning to you as your co-author was your father.
How was it co-writing this novel with your dad?

Quite simply, it was one of the best experiences of my life. My father and I are very close and, if anything, this just brought us together even more. As it happened, during the writing of the novel my father was diagnosed with late stage colon cancer and basically told to get his affairs in order. Against all the odds – quite literally – he survived and today is in full remission. We both like to think that bringing our novel to life played a role in his miraculous healing. The title of the book, Journey from Darkness, is partly a reference to my father’s journey out of cancer.
