The Seagull and the Sheikh

By Diane Van der Westhuizen

A family's determination to save the life of an injured seagull draws them into a web of industrial espionage and royal intrigue. More than the seagull's feathers are ruffled when they find themselves in the cross hairs of a crooked boss, a scrotty private eye and a royal family.

Diane Van der Westhuizen

Di van der Westhuizen is a South African-born author who took a quantum leap of faith and left office life to follow her passion: writing. She has drawn on her love of fantasy, humour and the perseverance of the human spirit to weave the story in this, her first book, Wild Avengers. But, more than anything else, it was her concern for the way we treat animals who cannot speak for themselves that was the driving force behind this book. A quotation from this book says it all: "Morbidius Ultimatum understands that damage is done one butterfly at a time, book one tree at a time, one bullet at a time". She has subsequently had articles published in South Africa's most widely-read family magazine as well as a self-published compilation of short stories, viz. Chilli Bites.
