EXCERPT

Alexandria

“After finishing up at Kemal’s, they returned to their hotel and started planning their next move. Now that their affairs in Istanbul were finished, Charles was anxious to get underway. They needed to contact the captain of their barge in Egypt to inform him that their arrival was imminent. The poor man had been waiting for a couple of weeks now—paid but still waiting—for his guests to arrive. They decided to fly to Alexandria, abandoning the idea of taking a ship, to get on the barge and start exploring Egypt with the Nile as their path to the south. They’d start in Alexandria, go to Cairo, then south toward Luxor, visit the Valley of the Kings and finally get off at Aswan. From there, they would take a different barge south across Lake Nasser into Sudan as far as the river would carry them, at least to the city of Juba in the southern parts of the country. From there, they were hoping to catch transportation to Uganda and Lake Victoria and then on to Tanzania and Kenya, where they wanted to see wildlife. From Nairobi, they would then head south, by train or car, to South Africa and Cape Town; the final destination for the year. They hadn’t really planned that far ahead, and Haakon realized that he had his work cut out for him. Now I understand why he’s employing me!”

Hans M Hirschi (b. 1967) has been writing stories ever since he was a child. Adulthood and the demands of corporate life efficiently put an end to his fictional writing for over twenty years. A global executive in training and channel development, Hans has travled the world and had previously published non-fictional titles. The birth of his son and the subsequent parental leave provided him with the opportunity to unleash his creative writing once again. With little influence over his brain’s creative workings, he indulges it, going with the flow.

A deeply rooted passion for, faith in a better world, in love, tolerance and diversity are a red thread throughout both his creative and non-fictional work. His novels might best be described as “literary romance, engaging characters and relevant stories that won’t leave you untouched, but hopeful.” Hans is a proud member of the Swedish Writers’ Union, the Writers’ Center in Sweden and serves as chair of the Swedish Federation of Self- & Independent Publishers.
