The Light Behind Blue Circles: A Traveler's Ghost Story

by Robert Louis DeMayo

Overview

Haunted by terrifying nightmares and a mysterious prophecy, a young man embarks on a 3,000-mile trek through the African bush.

From Victoria Falls at night during a lunar rainbow to the great African savannah stampeding with wildebeest to the evocative Serengeti with Mt. Kilimanjaro rising up with the dawn, The Light Behind Blue Circles captures some of Africa's most iconic scenery. This is a ghost story: it's about that rumble in your stomach when adrenaline surges. It's that feeling you get when you stand in the dark and hear an animal growling from only feet away, or sense there's someone else in a gloomy room. Start reading, and you'll never look at Africa the same again.

About the Author

Robert Louis DeMayo is a native of Hollis, New Hampshire, U.S.A., but has lived in many corners of the planet. He traveled to nearly a hundred countries before he was thirty, crossing many of them overland.
He took up writing at the age of twenty when he left his job as a biomedical engineer to explore the world. His extensive journaling during his travels inspired five of his novels and far-reaching work for the travel section of The Telegraph, out of Nashua, New Hampshire, as well as the Hollis Times. He is a member of The Explorers Club and chair of its Southwest Chapter.
His undying hunger for exploration led to a job marketing for Eos Study Tours, a company that serves as a travel office for non-profit organizations and offers dives to the Titanic and the Bismarck, Antarctic voyages, African safaris and archaeological tours throughout the world.
For several years following that role, Robert worked as a tour guide in Alaska and the Yukon during the summer and as a jeep guide in Arizona during the winter. He was made general manager of the jeep tour company but eventually left the guiding world to write full-time.
Robert is the author of eight novels that have collectively won ten national awards. His printed books and eBooks are available on Amazon, KDP and Ingram. In addition, several of his stories are available as audiobooks on ACX.
He resides in Sedona, Arizona, with his wife Diana and three daughters: Tavish Lee, Saydrin Scout, and Martika Louise.

Amazon reviews - Sally Douglas

★★★★★ -" I really enjoyed this book. It is an adventure tale that blends contemporary sensibilities with traditional tribal values. Besides being a romp through Africa - both riotous and scary - I especially enjoyed the author's ethnographic tidbits and history about the Maasai people in East Africa."
