Coerced by her boss and fellow rivers guides, Brenda Smith reluctantly embarks on a rafting trip through a vast Tanzanian game reserve.

Despite the harsh external threats she conquers, her greatest challenge is a profound inner journey-a courageous transformation as she uncovers the internal source of her fears and discovers the personal strength to do anything.

Becoming Fearless is an inspirational true story that showcases what is possible when you step out of your comfort zone into the wild. Free on Kindle.

Forgotten Heroes: The untold story of White Missionaries and their black Assistants in the Rhodesian civil war.

Forgotten Heroes: The untold story of White Missionaries and their black Assistants in the Rhodesian civil war.

Narrated through the prism of flashbacks from a young child who defied time to share her tale, this is a narrative where the causes of armed conflict may shift, yet the unchanging recipe and style remain constant. Within, the unsettling reality surfaces that children are sometimes exposed to sights and sounds that childhood should never encompass. Caught in the crossfire, civilians perpetually find themselves in an untenable predicament. Supporting or opposing any of the warring factions inevitably leads to ruin.

Exploiting communism, extremist ideologies, and propaganda, malevolent forces employ tactics that echo through time. The past and present blur as the ease with which young minds can be indoctrinated by hollow assurances is exposed. The aftermath of conflict rarely delivers the promised rewards, instead yielding a harvest of destitution and despair.

Liberators, who once symbolized salvation, often evolve into oppressors far exceeding their predecessors in cruelty. The book’s lens pans across five decades post-war, revealing a stark transformation: a region once heralded as the “breadbasket of Africa” now perennially extends a begging bowl. The same liberators wielded their power brutally, suppressing their own with ruthless intimidation. Tragically, this distressing cycle replicates in numerous nations today, a haunting pattern where countless innocents are ruthlessly slaughtered.

In this chilling account, the reader is beckoned to confront the unsettling parallels between history and the contemporary world, raising urgent questions about humanity’s propensity for repeating its darkest mistakes. $0.99 on Kindle.
