Dennis A. Smith is a New Zealand based author, blogger, NZ based private investigator and entrepreneur.
His online ‘handle’ is victusinambitus:
VICTUS = [Lat] life or living
IN = in, on, around
AMBITUS = the circle, the circumference, the edge
This is a way of living, of maximising every opportunity.
“Sometimes when you live on the edge you fall off, but you never miss a thing in the process and thus have no regrets. After all,” as he says, “you can always get back up and on!”
Dennis spent the first decade of his adult life in and around the Coromandel region of New Zealand; raised his children on Auckland’s North Shore and emigrated to Samoa shortly following the September 2009 Tsunami.
His investigative blogging landed him in trouble with the Samoan Prime Minister (when he wrote the book “Corruption in Samoa” and named the PM’s mistress) who had him secretly declared a “Prohibited Immigrant”.
In 2016 he reestablished himself in New Zealand following a total loss in Samoa and now conducts his writing and investigative work from a custom-built house-truck under the brand Writing the Wrong®. His by-line is “Get your story out!” helping and motivating others to establish, value and share their story – good or bad.
He has a special interest in the Samoan culture viewed from a Christian perspective as well as alternative currencies, particularly commercial barter exchanges, which have formed a large part of his past exposés.
He blogs at his personal website: www.dennis.nz, as he puts it, taking on the “crooks, crims & crazies” of this world.
Will you be releasing this whole book as a single pdf?
Short answer, No.
Longer answer, no . . . I hadn’t decided until now but no, and because of you Hamilton. I have been challenged as to why your request here has wound me up so much. It has though. I encourage my readers to use the resources. The people I write to and for usually read what I say, then comment either privately or online, and some buy the books if they are appreciative or motivated or seek paper versions. Some give me titbits of information which is appreciated. Others give me feedback, good and bad, both which I appreciate. You though have never given me any meaningful feedback despite me inviting you to call more than once and your knowledge of the events exceeding mine I am sure by a factor of multiples. You have instead told me that you are “just a regular guy interested in these events” twice and you have been reading my work for quite a while without helping me in the slightest. I must though thank you for helping me see things from another perspective. {lease this comments area now for others who do wish to engage with me meaningfully.
