I once again shed light on the problem of rhino poaching in Africa that threatens the continued existence of these beautiful beasts. With today being World Rhino Day, it helps us reflect on what we are turning a blind eye to. If there is a fuel hike…we petition and threaten to burn down the fuel plants…If McD’s delivers a shoddy product, we boycott them…and so on. But as we sit in our comfy recliners, drinking a glass of red or white… why should we care, right? Wrong…   The decline of the rhino will reduce grazing land, which will also lead to the decline of the gazelle, antelope and zebra. And if these animals die out, so will lions and leopards. Can you picture a world where your children, or grandchildren, never get to see any of these animals . . . either in a zoo or on the Nature Channel? Not only will this change the savannah, but it will ultimately reduce tourism and lead to fewer jobs in a country already battling with unemployment. The stats are everywh...

Cover Reveal: MY AFRICAN DREAM

Image
What started as a dream, at around Christmas time last year, has finally become a reality. The months trailed and I thought I’d never finish, even threw it in the trash a few times, but were it not for certain people…this day would never have arrived. Patricia Baxter…thank you, sweetheart! I battled with stubborn characters, headstrong and determined, and even wrestled a lion or two; but nothing prepared me for the dreaded cover… HEART COVERS , a new cover design business, accepted my plea and took on the task. It wasn’t easy seeing as only the best would be good enough for my baby, but with patience and creative genius, I finally gave the nod. So here it is…     My African Dream is available on Amazon as a pre order, and will be released on my birthday, September 25th. Watch this space for an upcoming giveaway… Remember that each book sold will help fund rhino conservation and preservation. To the animals of Africa it is not a dream…it's survival...

Write to Save Our Rhinos

In a world of writing, we are often inspired by a mood, a memory, or even a dream. And then when we least expect it, we are consumed by a need to stand up and make our voices heard. Well, a few months ago this happened to me…   A very close friend told me a story of how she would stare at an image from a webcam positioned at a watering hole in the middle of Africa, watching as the wild animals mulled around in an existence that most of us didn’t understand or weren’t aware of. She had never left her home town never mind her state, yet here she sat dreaming of walking on the hot, dry sand that was far from her reach. It made her long to be there, and made me smile that someone could feel passionate about the world outside of their borders. I’d listen as she told me of how their every move made her wonder what it would be like to see these magnificent creatures in person. This soon unleashed a feeling inside that captured my thoughts for a few months as I was inspired to wr...
