From a certain point of view it is. However...
...the hunters and the prey are not lions or elephants. They are humans. The term Lion Killer is an African term used to denote a kind of man, not a single kind of act. The characters, locations and some situations that I use to build my stories have real and live counterparts.

There are juicy and sometimes chilling insights that one gains while peering into the mind of a man who will do anything to get what he lusts for whether it is power, money, sex, or something else entirely.

In The Lion Killer, we meet someone like that and a number of others who find themselves trapped at deadly cross purposes with him. Some of them are resourceful, some greedy, some are bystanders and some want to fade into the bush.

If it is true, and I can tell you from my experience in Africa that it is, that only the fittest survive, I can assure you that we will meet people who will be required to face the blind and merciless Judgement of Nature and will find themselves over the edge, in extremis. Do they have the skill to survive where others near them do not? If they survive, will it mean that others must die? Get The Lion Killer and see for yourself.

Mike Denton knows he’s in big trouble the minute he meets attractive divorcee Emma Stuart. Busy raising a teenage daughter, he doesn’t have time to pursue his own needs until she’s out of high school. That doesn’t mean he can’t enjoy an occasional after noon delight. The only problem is Emma’s not that kind of woman. And her pretty brown eyes and luscious curves lure him into breaking his one hard fast rule of not sleeping with the same woman twice.

Emma thought she was content with her quiet new life down on the lake. That is until a mistake lands the small town’s hunky detective on her door step. As soon as their eyes meet her body responds to his sex appeal in a big way, reminding her she hasn’t had sex in two years. After he leaves she thinks they’ll never see each other again. But what Emma hadn’t counted on was her sister’s match making skills.

In my short story, The Deadly Path, five-year-old Cindy watches from her bedroom window as an old man comes out of a nature preserve and passes by her house in the middle of the night. Strangely drawn to the man, Cindy sneaks out of her house and finds him by following a golden path that only they can see. She watches as he buries strange coins by the corners of several houses.
What Cindy does not know, is that people start dying in those houses. Cindy's life changes when her best friend dies in a fire, and she finds one of the coins buried under the ashes.
