Proud Ndlovu

Proud was born and raised in Zimbabwe where he began his teaching career as a high school teacher. He later on emigrated to Australia where he now teaches at a public high school in Melbourne. Proud has written two novels so far, Chains of the Pastpublished in May 2012 and The Protector - The Beginning which was released on 5 March 2014. 

There are two new book projects that Proud is presently working on, Against All Odds and the sequel to The Protector - The Beginning,  entitled The Protector - The Return. When asked what the timeline was for the completion of both books, Proud responded that it was still too early to be definitively sure but "The Return is going to be prioritised. I'm targeting late 2015 or early 2016," he said.

When asked why he writes, this is what Proud said. "My inspiration to write comes from a variety of sources but in almost all instances, it is my experiences and observations that provide the seed that will eventually germinate and grow into a novel. In addition, I'm hoping that apart from entertaining the reader, my novels will enrich the reader in some way. Making the world a better place through writing fiction, that's what I hope I'm doing, in my own small way."
