We're honoured to be the first stop on his book tour. Tony grew up in Sydney's western suburbs and for two decades, he and his wife have divided their time between Australia and their home bordering Kruger National Park in South Africa. Tony's fascination with Africa has sparked the inspiration for each of his novels.

"In a day you come across enough stories to fill up books for the rest of your life," Tony said.

Don't miss this exciting launch on Saturday July 27 at 10am to hear Tony speak about his career, travel, love of Africa and writing. Bookings can be made through our Eventbrite page.
