Safari debacle earns B.C. author accolades
KOOTENAY BOUNDARY, BRITISH COLUMBIA, JUL 25 – Sheldon Herman's debut travel memoir won two major independent humour awards and is being considered for TV and film adaptation, highlighting his comedic take on harrowing African adventures.
- In late 2024, Sheldon Herman, local British Columbia author and retired RCMP officer, released 'The Tortured Traveller,' a 300-page memoir about his African misadventures.
- Prompted by friends last year, Sheldon Herman began writing his memoir in 2022 to share his humorous travel experiences, aiming to process trauma and entertain readers.
- At one point, soldiers held him at gunpoint over smuggled meat, a waist-high flash flood sent his tent floating away, and 58 buffalo stampeded his canvas tent.
- It captured runner-up honors in the 2024 Indies Today Awards, Herman shared, and won the 2nd Quarter 2025 International Firebird Book Award.
- A sequel chronicling his South America trip is already in the works, Herman said, with rights being shopped to TV and movie studios.
