Help urgently needed for my new short novel .

[Bowa Sekoa]

On paper, 'James Suez' is a soldier for her majesty queen Victoria . But that's all that there is to it .

In reality, he is the son of a rich patronizing family who ensures that his soldierly duties don't go beyond London, who attends boisterous balls and rich banquets and who plays cricket on Sundays .

After the Mhadist insurgency of 1884. Britain settles down to a decade of relative peace and James's wish of actually doing anything even close to being a soldier seems nil.

So when some uncle in (Either an insurgent part of Latin America or South Africa) suddenly dies and leaves James with an inheritance of a big plantation, James grabs at the opportunity with both hands .

He doesn't know that he would get more than he bargained For, including a chance to live a soldier's life.

So this is my idea for a story .

I want .

1)A good location for this story. Either in Latin America or South Africa . Please suggest .

2)Someone who is interested to assist me.

Is this alt history, or fiction based on a real event?

Also, I'd go for South Africa since there were quite a few was with the tribes and boers there, and I don't know much about Central America.

Also, it'd be nice knowing what sort of assistance you'll need

[Bowa Sekoa]

It's not alt history . Its fiction .

I need some basic storyline help . Thus I need a co writer type of person .

I kind of think it unlikely they would go to South America being British. Far more likely the plantation would be a rubber plantation in Malaya, or coffee in Jamaica, or mining in South Africa or Australia.
