Keeper of the Wild
Mike Tomkies , successful reporter, biographer of Hollywood stars, became tired of the luxury flat, fast car, and commuting between four capitals. Ten years ago he took off for Canada to seek peace and solitude in the wilds. Today he lives alone and inaccessibly on a remote Scottish loch. Apart from a weekly boat trip to collect essentials and mail, he sees no human being from September to May.
This is not the story of a drop-out but of a writer and naturalist, adjusting to loneliness and danger, who studies plant and animal life around him to preserve their natural environment.
Although alone, he still hopes that one day a woman will appear at the door of his croft to share his life. An ex-dancer, Cordon Bleu cook, who likes gardening, with a degree in biology or veterinary science would do! '
