Welcome to my website & blogsite!  
I'm now commencing my second book of memoirs dealing with my life and work with Louanne in Gambia, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Malawi and Uganda and looking for input (including anecdotes) from friends and colleagues in Africa, Canada and elsewhere. 

Period to be covered: 30 years (1981-2011). Haven't settled on a title yet. Any suggestions? Working title is Outposts of Progress (with apologies to Joseph Conrad).

I have moved about 15 pages of website material relating to African Chronicles to a new site: www.africanchronicles.net.

Hoping also to engage readers in a give-and-take on current affairs in Canada and the world, international development  (especially in Africa), education, literature and whatever. Please respond to any of my blogs, new or old - or just send one of your own. If you wish to write to me by email, pleased do so at devanney@eastlink.ca.

News: I will be participating in Atlantic Author's Day on June 15, 2012, signing copies of African Chronicles at Chapters in Moncton, NB between 1:00 and 3:00 PM. On the 16th I'll be signing books in Saint John, NB at three bookstores (times and locations to be identified shortly).
