[JDPUB: 103] NEW BOOK: i remember by Charles Gordon

 

i remember by Charles Gordon has just been published by Just Done Productions R180

 

 

 

"This book emerges as a literary gem. It embodies a poetic and imaginative expression of social history, setting markers of remembrance for the monstrous distortion of human society called apartheid. Yet, the author’s visions create subtle pacemakers for the new South Africa."

Werner Zips

International film maker and author (including Black rebels and Rastafari)

 

“i remember is an incredible roller-coaster journey of remembering. Each poem and story appears carefully selected to portray a dramatic, evocative and celebrative memorisation of life that is fresh yet familiar to the reader and become a creative definition of social transformation in action. The author realigns our social memories despite how sad, painful or shameful they may be and in the process breaks the control others or the past may have had over our memories. i remember reflects the shared, collective memory and experiences of all of us.

The author begins his journey with a strong sense of discontent, protest and political resistance against the back drop of the earthquake of 1969 that caused wide scale devastation in the Boland in the Western Cape and how under its darkness rural communities were dispossessed from their land and forcibly moved to ‘strange and soulless places”. The author reconstructs his past using poetry, stories, myths, images, maps, music and tells about his and his communities search for identity, roots, meaning, justice, land and the ultimate goal freedom.

Extract from the Foreword by Dr Matthews Phosa

 

"The writer tells a life story that echoes that of many black people. With photos and poems it becomes a gripping story of loss of land and home and the influence of black consciousness on his world view."

Hanlie Retief

New York photojournalist Katelyn Hillfox is determined to stay focused on her original assignment to South Africa.

But after meeting handsome game ranger, Jacques Kruger, Katelyn knows her heart has a different plan.

Her sleuthing instincts kick in when she hears about some burglaries on the reserve.

Katelyn starts snooping and later learns that Renprox, an eccentric animal rights organisation, may be involved.

Her own reputation is at stake when someone paints her as a heartless journalist out for a good story.

Suddenly Jacques wants nothing to do with her. Can Katelyn find the truth before she loses him for good?

between the pages. Gina started her writing career as a journalist where she worked in-house as a features writer,

sub-editor and photographer. Now, a full time freelance journalist and copy writer, Gina has over 700 published

articles in magazines and newspapers. Although she has been involved in the writing of several fiction projects,

[JDPUB: 101] NEW BOOK: REGINA by Leslie Hyla Winton Noble

REGINA by Leslie Hyla Winton Noble has just been published by Just Done Productions   R140

 

Young Lady Regina-Valerie, the spoilt and too-perfect only child of a wealthy lord has everything…Everything except friendship and happiness, that is. Her Siamese cat, Tickle has a lot to say, but not much she can understand – until suddenly she does. Then both are drawn from their modern world into a wild adventure in the Warrior Magic Circle land where constant wars are a way of life. She and Tickle find themselves with special powers and key roles in a battle not only against mysterious evil forces and terrifying creatures, but also against increasingly bad local customs. One of these is that all ‘non-combat creatures’ like women and cats should be treated as slaves.  

 

Regina has to contend with her own selfish nature …

 

Fantasy lovers of all ages will be captivated by the excitement, humour and imagination in this epic tale of a quest with a difference.
