ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

A special note of thanks to all the following people who supported me in the creation and publishing of this book.

My family, for always being supportive of my endeavours.

Herve, for always being a great friend and contributing more wonderful illustrations for this book.

Julie, for helping me review the preliminary drafts and giving me great feedback.

Melvin and the team from Marshall Cavendish, for continuing to support local writers like me.

And finally, my long-suffering wife Michelle, who after enduring sub-zero temperatures, many hours of disruption to her beauty rest, and squadrons of tsetse flies on our travels, is still by my side.
