[JDPUB: 140] FISHERS OF HINGHAM HALL by Jennifer I. Giles now available


The Fishers of Hingham Hall, Norfolk and their South African link 1798 - 2009 by Jennifer I. Giles has been published by Just Done Productions                       R220

“The family history of the Fishers of Hingham Hall begins in the late 1700’s with James Fisher (1797-1835), gentleman farmer and owner of Hingham Hall, Norfolk.  James married Elizabeth Pitts who was born in 1801 at Wells, Somerset. James and Elizabeth had four children and it is the descendants of these four children that are followed in the pages of this book.

Through information provided by various members of this extended family, a small insight can be obtained into the family including those individuals who were early South African immigrants. Because the families of the four children of James and Elizabeth Fisher are closely connected, it is important to follow, to the best of one’s ability, the descendants of each child. I have tried to present an insight into the early life of these ancestors right through to their present day descendants.

It has taken 20 years to collect the information contained in this book from numerous sources, with several trips to South Africa and the United Kingdom. However, this is just a beginning and I hope that future generations will carry on the story.”

[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
