It has won four awards but that is no guarantee that the book is seen by potential readers. I am muddling my way through this process and trying to figure things out as I go. Unfortunately, I did EVERYTHING backward when it came to writing and publishing my book. I could and should write a book about what NOT to do. Once I feel like I have marketing under control, I plan on writing another book about my latest African adventure.

“jambo, hello; hujambo, how are you; sijambo, I am fine; karibu, you’re welcome; and maji baridi tafadhali, cold water please.”
Sue Tidwell, Cries of the Savanna: An adventure. An awakening. A journey to understanding African wildlife conservation

“Why is any of this relevant? Put simply, Rick has loved and supported me throughout our entire life together, even when it was inconvenient, costly, lonely, and stressful. When someone shows you that much devotion and understanding, it makes you love them even more. Their happiness becomes your happiness. If something is important to Rick, you better believe it is important to me. I wanted him to get the very most from his African hunting experience. If that meant a second or third Cape buffalo, so be it. We would find a way to pay for it, just like we found a way for me to be in Pennsylvania when my heart called me there.”
