Biographie de l'auteur

Skeeter Wilson was born in British Colonial East Africa, along the edge of the Gikuyu lands at the end of the Mau Mau war. The son of American missionaries, he witnessed Kenya’s birth-pangs as it became an independent nation. Wilson spent his early years divided between his Gikuyu friends and the children of expatriates at an American curriculum school. Wilson lives in Auburn, Washington, and holds graduate degrees in creative fiction and African history. Look for “Sons,” Book Two in The Agikuyu Series, in 2015. Wilson’s debut novel, Worthless People, is a story of Dave, a young man who grows up in Africa knowing that one day he will have to leave the only home he knows and go to the America that his birth parents call home. His physical limitations prove an inconvenience to his out-of-touch parents, who work in Africa for foreign aid societies. But while they labor to rescue Africa from itself, Africa rescues Dave from his parents. www.skeeterwilsonnovels.com
