 Beverly Eikli

Author Bio
Beverley Eikli is an Australian author who grew up in the African mountain kingdom of Lesotho, married a Norwegian bush pilot she met in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, and wrote historical romances to amuse herself in the 12 countries she’s lived as a ‘trailing spouse’ (in between working as an airborne geophysical survey operator, a teacher of English as a Second Language, and writing for her former newspaper).
Her two most recent romances are set in Colonial Lesotho and Botswana and feature an aviation hero, while under her Beverley Oakley pseudonym she writes lush historical romances laced with mystery, scandal and intrigue.
You can visit her at www.beverleyeikli.com and https://www.facebook.com/beverley.eikli/
I’d love to offer a free ebook of Okavango Angel set in the beautiful Okavango Delta about the difficulties of a young couple managing a luxury safari lodge in such a remote location.
I worked for three months as the manager of a lodge in the Okavango and this story is an amalgamation of the everyday events, hopes and dreams of many of the guests and transient and permanent workers I got to know.
