A little excerpt from The Dreamer Falls, due out within the next month or so (photo from Murchison Falls, Uganda):
“She must have dozed off for a while because when she opened her eyes again she found herself staring at something she recognised, lying on a bare patch of yellowy-brown sand, beneath the hanging fronds of a palm. It was something she knew very well, long and squat, a creature she knew from stories, right from childhood, and one that she had seen before in… zoos!
‘A crocodile! It’s a crocodile!’ she screamed. The boat lurched suddenly as she scrambled to sit upright.
‘Sit still!’ shouted Zuri. ‘We’re all dead if we go in the water!'”
