Novella gets rave reviews on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Two-Feet-Random-Thoughts-Travels/dp/B00PJGONZ8/

A poignant telling of a bitter sweet and universal story, Two Feet does what few books do - transport the reading to a time and place while also transcending that locale to tell a greater tale.The simple vignettes that make up this novella are much like the cars of a train that linked together take the reader on a journey. Each is populated with characters we are pleased to meet and through the windows we glimpse a fascinating place.
For myself Mr. Roper provided a very real glimpse of a boy's life growing up in the Swaziland in the 60's and did it with subtlety and discretion. He also tells of growing up in a manner that had me reflecting on my own childhood.
Two feet is an easy, interesting and touching read that nearly all can enjoy. And again, as few books do, Two Feet will both satisfy the reader and have them hungry for more.
Cheers to a job well done!

FREE AUDIO SAMPLE - THE BONE TRADERS
My name
is Dog.
I am a
simple creature: I eat from a simple carcass. I ask for no more or less. I am
good.
I fly
your sky. From a height I witnessed the beginning of the end.
In my
simplicity I do not profess to know your sciences, your mathematics, your
nucleus, atoms and fusion.
From aloft, riding a thermal, I experience the
detonation.
My wings
are buffeted by the shock waves that precede the wrath.
My body
is pummelled.
I close
my eyes to the whiteness of the light before I begin to spiral away.
Toward
what and where, I do not know.
Only
time will tell.
