Birmingham UK born now residing in London UK Daniel Mendes is a professional boxer whose intellect and depth is not confined to the ropes of the squared circle. Long before he was to hear the ring of the opening bell, as an amatuer or professionally boxer he battled with his most consistent opponent, himself, life and the arsenal that came his way. Daniel found comfort and solidarity in Poetry, which accompanied him into a top 10 ranking of professional boxers in the UK and a Southern Area Title.

"Everything I write is from the heart. I write about the things I believe in and stand for," he says.

"If you inhale and exhale there is something in this book for you" Daniel boldly promises. Aside from exchanging venomous punches and penning his passions and experiences Mr Mendes manages to work full-time as a behaviour mentor for teenagers who are excluded or on the verge of exclusion from mainstream education. Ironic as Daniel himself found himself permanently excluded.

Daniel also believes that his experiences have a lot to teach any of us who are in danger of feeling overwhelmed by the challenges we face.

There were certain points on this journey where, like most, my mental health has been tested but I did not express this to family. Instead, I found a way to remedy my emotional conflicts by myself, through poetry. Self-expression is essential for one's own wellbeing and in this current climate where we are becoming increasingly aware of Mental health, I believe that expressive forms such as poetry, have the power to be natural remedies.

He says. "My ambition is to try and inspire as many people as I can. It makes my life worthwhile if I can give others the hope that they can achieve, no matter where they're coming from. That's my short- and my long-term goal."

Kevin Thomas, a fifth generation African was born in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) in 1950. In March 1968 at age 17 he joined the Rhodesian Department of National Parks & Wildlife Management under their cadet game ranger scheme. After having spent 6 years as a game ranger and having served on a number of remote Zambezi Valley stations, he left the department and ventured into a short-lived Zambezi Valley based safari venture. 

Due to a worsening insurgency war erupting in Rhodesia Kevin was forced to close his safari venture, and in January 1974 became a founder member of the Rhodesian Army’s elite Selous Scouts Special Forces counter insurgency unit, serving in the unit for 5 years as an operational NCO. In mid-1979 he departed the Selous Scouts as a senior NCO and reentered the Southern African safari industry, a career choice that for close on four decades afforded him the opportunity to guide safaris across much of Southern Africa.

In 1993 Kevin began writing stories for African Hunter magazine, and in addition he has for a number of years been a regular contributor of hunting articles to South Africa’s popular Magnum magazine. He has also written for the US magazine Successful Hunter and at one time regularly contributed feature stories to Sporting Rifle magazine in the UK.

Kevin is the author of six published books and retired from the safari industry at the end of 2013, although he continues to write. In October 2015, and at age 65, he and his wife Brenda chose to depart Africa for the UK, where they now reside on their 60-foot live aboard cruiser narrowboat, Sabi Star on the UK’s 2,000 miles of canals & waterways. An ideal environment for Kevin to continue with his writing and photography.
