CREATING LITERARY ART – KELI H

Creating Literary Art is a handbook for all authors who wish to create art with their words, rather than simply put words on a paper. In this book, you will learn how to:

• Precisely lay out pieces of your novel together
• Draw sturdy frames around your work with story structures
• Paint vivid characters that your reader can viscerally see
• Transport the reader into your world with the perfect beginning, and gently pull them out with a seamless ending
• And finesse the wordsmithing techniques that will mark you as a professional in front of publishers

So, grab your tools of choice – pens, papers, or keyboards – and let us guide you through the creation of a perfectly publishable book. The world is waiting to see your imagination come to life.

A BEND IN THE ROAD – VEENA PILLAY

In a small sleepy town in the 1970s, the lives of four young girls are forever changed when the unthinkable happens. Timid, gentle Meena has vanished on the road home from school, during a game the four friends played together. This gritty coming-of-age story deals with the dark mystery behind the disappearance.

The remaining three girls struggle to come to terms with the tragedy, while wrestling with issues of guilt, identity, hypocrisy, and the bitter-sweet nature of first love. Confident, self-centered Rajni, her life set out clearly by her mother’s ambitions, finds her world starting to unravel around her. Angry, distant Mala, set apart from the others by her intelligence and blunt perception of the world, discovers a shocking family secret. Feisty Arthi, hemmed in by her conservative family and upbringing, begins to develop insights into the injustices and prejudices of tradition.

But where is Meena and is there any hope of her being found?

SECRETS AND LIES – PAUL ZUNCKEL

The late South African seventies sees the lives of the SADF soldiers and their families collide under ominous circumstances.

Jason Sinclair, during strike action against SWAPO terrorists in Angola, becomes responsible for the death of his best friend, Gary Shimmler, during a tragic battlefield mishap. The accident leaves Jason on a reckless hunt for redemption. Gary’s death leaves his mother and sister Lucy alone to run the family’s Drakensburg farmhouse. In the midst of their turmoil, a scammer sets his eyes on their farmhouse. Reginald Bates has swindled people out of house and home, and the Shimmler farmstead is to be another notch in his belt. To make matters worse, Lucy’s steady partner, a naval avaitor, has gone missing in war-torn Congo.

Spanning countries and continents, Secrets and Lies is a story of dramatic highs from previous SADF serviceman Paul Zunckel.

MY GOD OF SECRET PLACES – JENNISHA DAVID

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91:1), but how is it possible for a sinful man to find and to be found in such a sacred place – intimately entwined and enwrapped in the divine embrace and presence of an invisible, holy God of the Spirit? Well, child of God, if you know Jesus Christ, then you’ve found ‘the way’, for He is not only ‘the Key’ of David (Isaiah 22:22 – what he opens no one can shut; and what he shuts no one can open), but He is also ‘the door’ to unlocking supernatural dimensions in the spirit realm.

Now, dear friend, if it is your desire to see spiritual mysteries of the invisible unravel with 20/20 vision, then I invite you, through this book, to go beyond the veil of secrecy and spiritual blindness, to delve deeper into His light until you cross over to the other side of ‘seeing’ with all your senses what’s in the dark, what’s been kept hidden, what’s still obscure to the world at large, and what’s really been going on behind the scenes in the secret places of our God and the god of this world.

Indeed, enemy deception is at play. Hence, there is a call for God to open our eyes so that we can see what He wants to reveal to us in this season, and if we really believe, we will see His glory. “He revealeth the deep and secret things; he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him” (Daniel 2:22).
