Press Release: The Lights of Freedom by George Stegmann

Just Done Publishing 

Just Done Productions would like to announce the publication of the book The Lights of Freedom by George Stegmann.

The Lights of Freedom - George StegmannThis is the true story of a South African Policeman who fought as a soldier during the Second World War.

It is a moving and simple account of an ordinary soldier’s experiences; how he survived capture in the Western Desert, spending time in a Prisoner of War camp at Benghazi in Lybia under the worst conditions imaginable and his escape to freedom, recapture and eventual escape to neutral Switzerland.

Along the way, we learn of his love of boxing, enjoyment of wine-making in Italy and his constant yearning for his family at home. During these experiences, he is sustained by the kindness of civilians and the camaraderie of his fellow soldiers.

The strength of the story lies in its simplicity.  A  young, ordinary South African who recorded the travails of war, especially as a prisoner,  that were not uncommon for men of his generation.

This book can be bought for R140 from Just Done Production's website at http://www.justdone.co.za/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/121 or for international customers from http://www.lulu.com/content/727004

Press Release: Simply Up - Kyra

Just Done Publishing 

Simply Up - Kyra'Simply Up' by Kyra is now available from Just Done Productions - Publishing for R110.

‘Simply Up’ is a journey from the dungeons of mere survival, plodding through life, a place of no passion, no life-ecstasy to the greatest joy, freedom and strength of being, that one can only find in oneself. 
The author states: 

I wrote Simply Up as both a personal account and an “ABC” manual about understanding, and knowing, how to deal with co-dependant and addictive ways of life. It is written from the perspective of someone having lived in, and grown out of abuse. I communicate this path of moving forward in the simplest terms with a minimum amount of academic terminology or frills, this step-by-step guide will assist you as you begin your journey, and take you to the next step of understanding that will enable you to move forward and away from abusive and destructive lifestyles. 

Living without passion, going through life without a sense of purpose is abusive the to very essence of abundance within everyone of us. I invite you to join me on this pilgrimage, climbing our mountains with strength and wisdom to finally summit in the knowledge of success at every level as human beings in this lifetime on this planet. 

This truly inspiring story, communicates the need to renounce a “victim” mentality and to rather use adversity as a spur to the realization that one is worthy of love, especially one’s own and that one can achieve one’s goals, even if they seem so far out of reach. Taking responsibility for your life is the exquisite birth of creative insight. Simply Up is an adventure of Life…Your Life!

Press Release: The Man-eaters of Eden: Life and Death in Kruger National Park - Robert R. Frump

Just Done Publishing 

Just Done Productions is proud to have published The Man-Eaters of Eden: Life and Death in the Kruger Park"The Man-eaters of Eden: Life and Death in Kruger National Park," by Robert R. Frump .
This a non-fiction  book told in a narrative style of how lions in Kruger National Park adapted to man-eating behavior . It documents the author's efforts to establish the origins of wide-spread man-eating behaviour.

The behaviour continues to this date and Frump, an American journalist who has won national awards in that country, asserts that man-eating may be at an all-time high in modern times. 

"Perhaps the most famous man-eaters are the celebrated 'man-eaters of Tsavo,'" Frump said.  "They killed more than 100 humans in the late 19th Century and shut down British efforts to build a railroad.

"The lions of Kruger have killed far more," Frump said, "and the problem there is continuing."

The book, published in hardcover, in the United States, has received positive reviews. "Robert Frump weaves the central story of human suffering with, in the case of "The Man-eaters of Eden," gripping accounts of horrific lion attacks.  He's a master story-teller who leaves readers wondering what they enjoy most: the import debate of 'man versus nature' or the many gruesome tales of predator versus prey."
--John von Brachel, deputy managing editor of Time Inc.

"A masterful account of encounters between man and beast....a stunning portrayal of a little-known  phenomenon -- the killing and eating of Mozambican refugees by the lions of Kruger National Park in South Africa.  This is a richly detailed narrative that is brutal and honest.  Anyone intersted in wildlife preservation and human rights should read this remarkable book."
-- David Zucchino, correspondent for The Los Angeles Times and author of "Thunder Run" and "Myth of the Welfare Queen."

"The Man-eaters of Eden" is a much-needed antidote to the Diseneyfication of African wildlife.  Robert Frump portrays lions as neither virtuous nor villainous but as what they are: adaptable carnivores...As Frump shows, it's not so much the lion in the bush we should fear; it's our simplistic, theme-park view of nature."-- David Baron, author of "Beast in the Garden."

News: Credit Card Payments

Just Done Publishing 

Dear John Dovey,
This is just a short note to let you know that we have setup a credit card payment facility. When you place an order with us now, you will notice that one of the payment options is "Credit Card (MyGate Payment Gateway)". If you select that option then once you confirm your order, you will be able to enter your credit card details and pay us that way. This is especially important for our international clients as it should work out to be a lot cheaper and easier than trying to arrange international bank transfers.

One word of advice: On the credit card details page, there is an optional  field for you to type in your email address. If you do that, then you will be emailed a transaction summary. Forwarding that email to us will make it a lot easier for us to track your payment information. This is not critical, it will just make our job a little easier.

All the best,
John and Shirene

Press Release: Rhodesian Air Force Operations with Airstrike Log by Prop Geldenhuys

Just Done Publishing 

Just Done Productions would like to announce the release of a new book : Rhodesian Air Force Operations with Airstrike log by Prop Geldenhuys.

Rhodesian Air Force Log Front CoverThis book records the operations of the Rhodesian Air Force. It includes a complete log of all the airstrikes carried out as well as maps where these strikes have been meticously plotted. The maps are printed in full colour. There are numerous black and white photographs that illustrate the text.

From the forward by Air Vice-Marshal Hugh Clarke Scudamore Slatter

"I am always impressed by those who have the skill, creativity and determination to record a history of important events in a readable, interesting form so that the history will not be forgotten and so that others may get so much enjoyment from it.
This book by Prop Geldenhuys  does just that. It is the result of many hours of effort and research, determination and patience, creativity and sensitivity that will be valuable not only to those directly involved with this period in Southern Africa, but to all who read it.
Prop’s book joins a growing number of fine, new books set in Southern Africa and deals with the history of various aspects of life in the country and especially life in the latter half of the 20th century. These books are a valuable record, but also play an important role in the remedial process to assuage the pain that many of us who live, or lived, in Africa still feel at this time. Hopefully, they also help awaken the World to the realities of life in Southern Africa in the 20th/21st centuries."

Prop joined the Rhodesian Air Force in 1962 as a young hopeful to attend "No 16 Pilot Training Course". He flew during the entire period covered by this book and is thus eminently qualified to write about this subject.

As Group Captain Tol Janeke writes in the introduction:

"... He has painstakingly and methodically recorded the history, not only of the airmen who were privileged to fly the aircraft involved in the air strikes, but so many others.
... Here are the names of soldiers, policemen and internal affairs, men and women who added to the often unheralded courage behind the exciting story of these air strikes.  The troops on the ground and those that flew in our aircraft with us, some of whom hated leaving their own familiar environment on the ground and in the bush.

and

To those historians and collectors of militaria, this book is one that fills in much detail. It shows how operations  started slowly and built up to a situation where virtually the entire country became involved.  The mass of little numbered dots on the maps shows the position of widespread strikes in all the operational areas."

Author at Virginia Air Show with bookThe first copies of this book were on sale at the Virginia Air Show in Durban and the first copy was sold with the sound of a Mirage's engine rumbling overhead as it performed aerobatics. An entirely appropriate occasion.

This book is available for purchase from Just Done Productions, at http://www.justdone.co.za/. International purchasers can buy a copy from http://www.lulu.com/content/1001038 although they should be aware that only the South African version's maps are in colour.

Press Release: The Strange Tale of Ruby Devenpeck by Anne Whittle

Just Done Publishing 

The Strange Tale of Ruby DevenpeckJust Done Productions would like to announce the release of the "Strange Tale of Ruby Devenpeck" and the companion book "Delilah's Alibi: Ruby’s Poetry and Lyrics Journal" by Anne Whittle.

This novella was written and submitted as part of the Human and Rousseau / You / SABC Education/RSG's 2006 "I'm a writer" competition.  " The Strange Tale of Ruby Devenpeck" was short listed in the  top 6  English submissions.

The story has a strong South African flavour, and is aimed at the teenage female market. In spite of this, the story does have  an appeal to a broader audience -because it is multi-layered and anyone looking back at their youth will recognise universal themes; of coming of age, of love, of death, of growth and discovery.

Ruby's story is a mystery and a journey, a story of a 17 year old girl who is growing up in a small town in South Africa. We meet a variety of characters, some interesting, some despicable, although one of the delights of Ruby's story is that sometimes the most attractive characters harbour the deepest secrets.
Ruby's love of music and language is evident throughout the novel.  Delilah's AlibiThe music Ruby listens to and the discussions she has, as well as  her performance in her band, Delilah's Alibi create the sense of a movie soundtrack playing in the background. This soundtrack is a reflection of contemporary South African culture with an added sprinkling of global influences.
The story of Ruby's adventures and her journey of discovery, is indeed a strange tale and the surprises and twist of the plot continue right until a most surprising ending.

Ruby blogs at http://annewhittle.book.co.za/ 

Ruby's poetry and lyrics are spread through the novel like the leavening in bread, and they are collated in the companion book "Delilah's Alibi: Ruby’s Poetry and Lyrics Journal".

Beauty Queen

 I’m all smoke and mirrors

And a touch of the cryptic

The mascara militia’s always after my lipstick

I’m fifty years ahead

And a couple of notes behind

Its not always fair

But you have to be cruel to be kind

  
My mask is pretty, it’s ugly and it’s quaint

It’s made of skin and bone

And lashings of war paint

But if you look closer

Beyond the lies you’re fed

You’ll see the real me

Hanging by a thread
