[JDPUB: 138] new book: GOLDEN BOY by KARL HORST now available

Golden Boy by Karl Horst is now available from Just Done Productions R200

Karl Horst, a former professional model, wrote a book that he couldn’t read.  This was due to the fact that he was afflicted by the heartless attack of Multiple Sclerosis.  It was a hurdle that seemed like it could not be cleared.  As a result, he could only reach half a metre to his right, and half a metre to his left.  He held tightly to a laptop and pursued a passion he had always possessed, and that was to express himself in writing.  He always dreamed of being a writer and a poet. He wrote an emotional story about family, past hurts, love, treachery, magic and hopeful intentions.  He did this by using both fact and fiction and mixing all the genres of writing to illustrate his feelings through a difficult four-year period.  Karl did, however, feel every sentence – so read it slowly.  This book is very honest.  It is his story, funny and serious, real and creative.  Golden Boy is a must for anyone in search of their truth.

[JDPUB: 137] NEW PUBLICATION: Sequels to Nursery Rhymes -for adults by Jeanette Dunn

Sequels to Nursery Rhymes – For Adults – by Jeanette Dunn just published by Just Done Productions          R70

There is more to nursery rhymes than meets the eye!

The verses learned during our childhood years merely scratch the surface.  Read between the lines!

This book offers an insight into what actually transpired.

Learn about ‘what happened after’ or “what did  happen!”

You’ll be amused and enlightened!

17 nursery rhymes that you will remember from your childhood have been included in this book. Jeanette has revisited them and created "sequels" for you to enjoy as an adult. They are delightfully witty and incisive, well researched and written. 

A sample:  “Based on the original nursery rhyme JACK SPRAT

JACK SPRAT’S FATTY DILEMMA

Now, Jack had to hatch a plan to return Jean to the barrow.

She was very firmly wedged, ‘cause the ditch was awfully narrow.

“There is no way I can summon aid. My cell phone battery’s flat.

The cause of this fiasco, is your flagrant fetish for fat!”

…

A tactic had to be devised, to make sure Jean was freed.

The spectacle that followed was unbelievable indeed.

They put their heads together, and a plan was quite soon hatched.

The winch would have to be deployed, in a manner quite unmatched.

The rescue team then set to work – full speed, flat out, full throttle.

Mrs Sprat popped from the ditch, as a cork from out a bottle.

Jack wheeled his wife back home. He said, “I’m done. You’re a disgrace!

Fat is off the menu. A weight loss programme takes its place.”

Jean Sprat, quite some time later, had shed much adipose tissue.

And travelling in a barrow, was no longer an issue.

Jean’s ‘belly flap’ has been excised…..you can hardly see the scar.

And in their brand new Nike shoes, the Sprats jog near and far!”

[JDPUB: 135] NEW BOOK: THE ALTAR BOYS' PICNIC BY HENRY MINIETTI

The Altar Boys’ Picnic by Henry Minietti has been published by Just Done Productions             R130

“Times were hard in Italy after World War Two. Work and food were equally scarce. One day my father, Celso, returned home from yet another hard day at his thankless job and announced to my mother, Natalina, that he had signed up to go and work in a town called Eshowe, where artisans were needed.

‘Where is Eshowe?’ she asked.

‘Somewhere in Africa,’ he replied.

This book was prompted by family and friends who convinced me to record my wonderful childhood memories. My intention is to transport the reader back to the free and fun-filled days of their youth – the time of innocence and wonder – to an era far removed from the stresses and strains of today’s hyper-modern world. All the characters in this short story are the actual people with whom I had the good fortune of sharing my life’s path, although some names have been changed. “

Henry Minietti

• “A truly delightful and amusing book. Well done, thoroughly enjoyed it.” Hazel Nash

[JDPUB: 132] SHAKING HANDS WITH BILLY - a new book by Dr Anthony Richard Turton

Shaking Hands with Billy by Dr Anthony Richard Turton has just been published by Just Done Productions               R350

Dr Turton’s work is the record of a personal journey, through one man’s experiences of various branches of the South Africa Security infrastructure. It is a detailed recollection, and almost obsessively footnoted and cross referenced. It provides a surprisingly intimate glimpse into a hidden world, the subterranean part of the ice-berg that was “The State”. The book takes us beyond this personal narrative however, leading us to explore in our memories and experiences the way that the personal relates to the communal; how the miracle of the 1994 elections had many precursors in some of the most secretive aspects of the National Party created apparatus, and how those experiences could, or should, inform our journey onward as both a society and a country.

Dr Anthony Turton says in the introduction to this book “I pen the hidden history of South Africa’s transition to democracy as I experienced it, for no reason other than to seek to understand it myself. It is with considerable pride and a deep sense of humbleness that I commit a piece of the as yet unknown history of the Chief Directorate Covert Operations (CDCO) of the National Intelligence Service (NIS) to writing. This is done, not with the intention of engaging in an orgy of kiss-and-tell self-aggrandizement, but rather as a humble record for those interested in such things, in order that they may know about the hidden world that was shrouded by intense secrecy that pervaded the very best years of my entire generation.“

“I dedicate this work to the memory of my comrades-in-arms in the three Security Force formations that I had the privilege to serve in – the Light Horse Regiment (LHR), 81 Armoured Brigade of the South African Defence Force (SADF); the Chief Directorate Covert Operations (CDCO) of the National Intelligence Service (NIS), also known as Chief Directorate “K”; and the South African Secret Service (SASS) of which I was a founding member, specifically serving within the Chief Directorate Covert Collection and Counter Intelligence (CDCCCI) – in a sincere attempt to explain our complex history as accurately as I am capable.”

The title, Shaking Hands with Billy, refers to a code-phrase used during a special operation, designed to bring the planner of the Pretoria car bomb to justice. I experienced this event as a turning point in the Armed Struggle, because I saw a major shift in Security Force response as a direct result, in a way that is remarkably similar to the contemporary American-led War on Terror. Using this analogy, the Pretoria car bomb was our mini 9/11 and nothing was the same afterwards, including the angry response by government that was hell-bent on finding a culprit to hold accountable. As an intelligence officer in that special operations team, I was confronted with many contradictions, so over time the notion of Shaking Hands with Billy came to symbolize to me the political transformation that occurred in South Africa, when we faced our darkest hours. I later came to respect the operative who we code-named “Billy”, and was pleased to see him take his rightful place as a democratically elected Member of Parliament. We never brought Billy home to trial as intended, because the peace negotiations aborted all aggressive operations, allowing us to give our full attention to sustaining the momentum towards peace instead. Thus, for me, Shaking Hands with Billy came to eventually represent the transformation in our own society, as we moved from endemic violence to what appears to be a stable peace. I believe that is a noble pursuit and so I share it.

“On its surface Shaking Hands with Billy is the story of one man’s odyssey. And odyssey is, I believe, the correct word, neither overstatement nor misrepresentation. To be sure, many chapters in Anthony Turton’s personal narrative describe the recruitment and work of a Cold War soldier – instilling in him a sense of detachment, manifest in that chilling, if necessary, “thousand yards stare”. Yet it is less a tactical, macho, warrior epic like the Odyssey than an alienated veteran’s dragged-out struggle, his repeated attempts to reconcile himself to a political landscape that is both strange and at times uncomfortable, and then to embrace the chaos and complexity as, for better or worse, his only home.”
