Amos van der Merwe
Amos van der Merwe retired from medical practice to pursue a life-long dream of writing. His short stories and articles have appeared in ‘Runner’s World,' ‘Leisure Wheel,s’ and various other magazines and publications. His two previous biographies about prominent South African personalities and his other five books of fiction all received extremely favorable reviews. Amos now lives in an isolated estate on South Africa’s Garden Route coast with a family of francolins as neighbors. He writes because he believes words can be used to change the world into a happier place.
