Accidental Author tells the tale of unforeseen twists in life and history that shaped the writer's fifty years of texts scripted in multiple forms. From an ordinary life growing up in Central Africa, turbulent times led to writing: for academe, then as a one-man band, and when unemployable, later for survival, and when in time employed, then out in the cold once more.

The outcome was the founding of a firm, its monies based on texts written and sold, and as an advisor, scripting strategy briefings, and in conference parole, that played a key part in the global oil game. Advisory work engaged over one hundred institutions in Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Russia. Finally, the scribbler was to author several books, and establish an independent publishing brand. Mishaps, mistakes, and accidents in history marked this nomadic journey from neophyte to writer with texts scripted for private or public record, and corporate interests, while personalities met shaped texts written, and the 'unwritten word', parole, with an enormous 'literature' of published and unpublished works in nonfiction.
