“The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves.” – (Jane Goodall). My novel characters are not apes, they are people. And without me, they have no voice. I write so that I too, have a voice. It’s my opportunity to be heard, even though it’s all imagined. You may not like what I say or how I say it. My response will be like the apes. I will thump my chest and stick out my tongue. And that will be the end of the discussion.
