Koors
The Fever took almost everybody. But not 13 year old Nico Storm and his dad. When they begin a new community, the townspeople are soon divided, and defence against marauding biker gangs gets harder and harder. Soon murder stalks Amanzi . . . In Koors (Fever), the adult Nico Storm tells the story of how his father was murdered.
Kobra
Capt. Bennie Griessel is first on the scene of the bloodbath – in the guesthouse on a beautiful Franschhoek wine farm. Three bodies, the work of a professional hitman called The Cobra.
And on top of this there has been a kidnapping – a British citizen who may be carrying a counterfeit passport. Can Griessel stop the killer before he strikes again?
Jagveld en ander draaiboeke
SA’s king of crime fiction, Deon Meyer, isn’t just a master of novel-writing – he’s also tried his hand successfully at screenplays. For the first time four of his Afrikaans screenplays are brought together: Jakhalsdans, Die laaste tango, Die ballade van Robbie de Wee and 2017’s Jagveld. Entertainment at its best!
Writer's block
Ours is about 3 feet by 3 feet, and on our left is the account's block. The marketing block is down the hall.
We're joking. Obviously.
Ours is at least 5 by 5, and on Wednesdays we're allowed to write in coffee shops to maintain the illusion that we're "successful" and "writerly".
Coming up with a write up for the simple sake of a write up does, however, become difficult when we're staring complete lack of creativity right in the face. But apparently asking management to cancel all the deals for the day isn't a viable fix.
As they so delicately put it, it'd be like a comedian having the option to suddenly cancel a show if they're not feeling up to it. Not on our watch, they said. You'll do a write up whether you like it or not, they said. And be funny, they said.
So here we are, doing a write up and being funny.
