written scripts and directed award-winning documentaries and is a two-time
Mondi journalism award winner (1999 and 2004). His most recent books include

J.M. Coetzee said of Whoever
Fears the Sea “An engagingly romantic, fast-paced tale of sailing-ship
adventures off the myth-laden East African coast, with plenty of sex and
action, plus a serious revisionist message regarding modern-day Somali piracy.”
Jennifer de Klerk said: “This is the first novel from South African travel writer Justin Fox, a well-written, fast-paced read, lyrical in its descriptions and thought-provoking in its theme.
Paul Waterson, a journalist and scriptwriter, heads into Kenya to research a documentary on the Swahili maritime culture and, hopefully, get over the American girl who dumped him.”
