In Elephants Never Forgotten, we meet Nigella who has just inherited a herd of micro-elephants. Problem is, in this futuristic world, her elephants aren’t like anyone else’s. Together with her best friend, Kepler, Nigella is caught up in a mystery. What was her grandfather up to before his death and what have her micros to do with the now extinct African elephant? Can Nigella uncover the truth before it’s too late?

Today is World Elephant Day. Since 2011, this day has been used to highlight the plight of elephants around the world, both wild and those in captivity. Ivory is still a commodity and poaching still happens. Not to mention abuse which occurs in captivity.
In a few weeks, I’ll be releasing a middle grade novel which highlights these sentient beings. Elephants Never Forgotten takes us into a world of the future where elephants and their habitat are gone. One twelve year old girl stumbles onto a mystery that might allow them to return. Details on the release will be coming soon.
