About Phil Smart
My Journey as an Author
The Napoleon of Africa is my first novel, written first and foremost for my children and family. It embraces some of the whimseys and experiences of my life and has been a joy to write.
I have lived a full and rich life in my humble 70 years and have always been asked “when are you going to write a book?”. I have a deep passion for reading and storytelling and so have always felt that I had a story in my heart that I would love to share with the world.
As I am now semi-retired, I have finally found the time to write something that I would love to read, both for myself and to my family, if I were to ever see such a book on a store-shelf.
I hope you enjoy the journey.
