My passion for wildlife
began early

I used to smuggle roadkill into the house despite my mother's preference for flowers.

    Chasing the Tiger

    A brilliant, gripping and informative book. Well worth the read.

    Himalayan Kidnap is an amazing story with an even better plot. It is very well read. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!

    Snowfed Waters

    I loved the atmospheric writing and the characters. It’s really evocative and completely sensuous - love the smells of the woodsmoke and the cumin in the first chapter. And it is brilliant how the author describes Sonia's appearance through Rekraj's eyes. Gives us a picture of her that shows what he values as well as what she looks like. A very economical and subtle solution to the problem of description, shown, not told.
