The Namibian Scholar-Athlete Games

I am so pleased to share the news of the first Scholar-Athlete Games that were held in Africa!  The wonderful town of Rundu, Namibia hosted the Games and were a great success.  You can read more about some initial reflections on the event on the News page of the Institute for International Sport website.

The Sequel

I am now in the process of writing the sequel to An African Rebound.  The sequel will encompass the continuing saga of Jim Keating, beginning with a trip from Burundi back to his hometown of Worcester, Massachusetts, for a series of medical tests, and to renew old acquaintances. 

A highlight of Jim’s visit to Worcester will be his attendance at the annual Golden Gloves, where he will view the debut of Anthony Cooper, an extraordinarily gifted young boxer.

The novel will follow Jim back to Burundi, via an important stop in Italy, and will also track the ascendance of  Anthony, as well as his trainer, Papa Joe,  a man with a past  … and, perhaps, a future.
