Will feels as if he has no choice but to accept his posting to Nairobi. When your employer pays well and supports you, there has to be a little bit of give-and-take. Still, spending three months in Africa wasn't something that he saw in his future.

Thrown into a place that feels isolating and dangerous, Will has to learn to live and work in a place that's so very different from his Isle of Man home. The lifestyle is different,  he people are different and, perhaps the most disturbing of all, everyone is allegedly openly homophobic and bigoted.

"Anyway," Will says to himself, "I didn't come here looking for romance." He forces himself to conform, puts his head down and gets on with the task of training the new staff as best he can. Sometimes all you can do is get through the ordeal. Sometimes, however, the ordeal itself reveals a new truth that changes your life forever.

It's time to move away from sequels and series and get back to what I love the most - stand-alone stories of love and redemption. As is my normal pattern, this story is complete and ready to be published. Amazon links will be available on my blog as soon as I get the whole thing proofed again and uploaded. If you want to support me, then that's a great way to read the whole story on your Kindle (DRM free) or own a physical copy.

And, yes, we're in Africa again. Although I'm not likely to travel to the places that I love on the dark continent quite as much as I once did, it is a continent that holds a piece of my heart forever. That love for a place it tinged with sadness for the fact that so many people - good and caring people - who are just like me find it a place of hardship, persecution and forced secrecy. Even sadder is that I see little hope for change any time soon.

Episode 1 is here right now and I'll publish on Fridays. Enjoy and, if you do, don't forget to subscribe!
