"I was following Royal Dal," John said.
"Why?" Rose asked out of curiosity.
"I don't trust him," he admitted. "I haven't told anyone of my suspicions, because I felt like no one would believe me... And telling by your face, I was right…"

The war between Israel and the people of Palestine is one of the great tragedies of our time,’ writes Professor Anthony Balcomb, a Senior Research Associate in the School of Religion, Philosophy, and Classics at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. Arguably, an even greater tragedy is the inability of many Christians – certainly those who subscribe to the views of Christian Zionism – to see the frequently brutal injustices and human-rights abuses being meted out by ‘God’s chosen people’.
‘BROKEN BASKET’ is the simple story of two young schoolgirls Thandi and Zanele, on the threshold of sexual self-discovery. When their relationship becomes more than just two friends sharing jokes or swopping homework, their secret is discovered with tragic consequences.
The book paints a dark picture of communities which fail to accept the reality of humankind and consider homosexuality to be a crime. When the ugly face of discrimination becomes the judge, the freedom to live one’s own truth is fatally compromised.
The 21st century business model isn’t perfect, but it’s better than languishing in the never-ending unemployment queues. 21st century entrepreneurs can choose to work from home. They can even change countries without changing their source of income.
From this book you will learn all about the current and coming threats to job security and why you should consider becoming being entrepreneurial. There’s a chapter on the three common ways people get into entrepreneurship, and another on how to become and remain a 21st century entrepreneur. There are a couple of bonuses too. Find out why you should care about Bitcoin, and what on earth is DeFi? Apart, that is, from being new-speak for decentralised finance.
Again is a love story depicting a growing relationship between two people in their sixties, who are in the process of overcoming loss. Erin is a widow and Francis, a divorcee.
Still bruised by their pasts, they find each other in unlikely circumstances. Although different people, both seek lightness, warmth and humour in their lives. Slowly and tentatively, they establish a connection which deepens despite initial doubts.
It is a story of loneliness, longing and letting go. It focuses on being open to new experiences and the healing, creative power of new love and human sexuality during one’s advanced years.
This self-help book is like no other – no preachy nonsense, no making you feel bad about yourself because you aren’t ‘perfect’.

Without the interest with which David and Gail Robbins of Porcupine Press responded to the story I am telling here, it may have remained a private family chronicle. The exacting care that David subsequently spent on the editing was most inspiring, and the dedication with which Gail took charge of the production, was more than I could have hoped for.
