He will also share his writer's journey of what shaped and influenced the writing of his first novel, Our Man Mbabane, based on his experiences supporting the African National Congress in the 1970s ad the early '80s.

K. E. Karl's fiction has appeared in the Pennsylvania Literary Journal, Lowestoft Chronicle, the Evening Stree Review, and online at Reedsy.  He has lived and worked in Oregon, London, Mbabane, Philadelphia, Maputo, Bangkok, New York, and Zurich.  Karl currently resides in Philadelphia.
