Vaughan Wiles

The Leatherby Series

“Stoic and good natured, but seriously accident prone, Nelson Leatherby finds himself constantly surrounded by thugs, cheats and dangerous buffoons…but is always saved by brainy and beautiful women.”

Vaughan Wiles

Author of Lord Souffle, The Caracas Girl and Hoof Beat

Born in Southern Rhodesia and raised in South Africa, Wiles attaches no blame to the fine institutions that struggled to educate him—Highbury, Michaelhouse and Natal University. For most of his career he worked as an economist and international marketing specialist based in Johannesburg, London and New York.
