You really are something! Love your writing! When we were in Africa, had the same problem - water buffalo around our tent in the middle of the night! Our friends were trapped in their tent by a lion! An elephant charged us one day. Great fun! Seriously! We will never forget our trip - best thing we ever did. Although traveling around Costa Rica on a somewhat unplanned trip was an experience too! But that was a long time ago.......

Thanks! If I remember correctly, you saw the great little orange frogs in Costa Rica.

Did not know that Sean Lennon was John’s son.

Nairobi a national park. It is in Kenya along with Masai Mara.

Perhaps the book will lead into this part and Nairobi’s status and location has already been stated?

I liked your comments about Orion’s upside-down sword. And the mental epithany about not being in Kansas

I wonder what good a spear woud be against a charging buffalo. If they charged by the site - did they avoid the campfire?

I like the excerpt - looking forward to the book.

Not sure what you mean about Nairobi. Masai Marai is way to he west. But so glad you like the piece! And yes, Sean was 6 when we met him.

Whoops - I typed Nairobi into Google (source of all knowledge) and the first thing that came up was the national park. I originally thought it might be the city but the spelling threw me.

Anyway - I was scene setting. If the book sets the scene for the capital of Kenya - then it wouldn't be an issue.
