On Leopard Rock by Wilbur Smith

For the thousands of readers who have enjoyed the action-packed tales of Africa and the courageous people who sought to tame it, by the legendary, Wilbur Smith, you’re in for treat. The Author tells us of his long life and the incidents and trials that shaped him, birth as a man and an author.

He walks the reader through each of his books and speaks of his triumphs and pitfalls as he established himself to be a worldwide bestselling author. For writers, this is an eloquent guide to writing for the love of it, as well as a writing for a living.

The first book of Smith’s that I read was Elephant Song. After falling in love with his storytelling, I read every book he ever wrote and am still excited when the announcement of a new story comes out.

There is much wisdom in this story, and I am sure I will visit time and time again.
