​
We are a new company, with a new outlook - one based around Indie authors.
Memoir
This is a true story - a memoir set in Cape Town 1975.
A young woman, with her husband and baby travelled to South Africa in 1975 at a time when apartheid was at its height.
Her journey became a spiritual quest to make sense of the world in which she found herself, a world where black and white mingled but were kept apart.
Poetry
A Take Your Pick Poetry Collection
Anna Meryt's second collection of poetry and as the title suggests it's a mixture of poems, written over the last 10-15 years.
They are all poems that have been performed at Spoken Word venues and found to be popular by audiences.
Many of these poems have also been published in various anthologies and magazines.
'What becomes of the broken hearted'
Jimmy Ruffin
If you have experienced loss or grief due to a relationship ending, no matter how it came about. This collection of poems is for you.
All the poems are about the end of whichever relationship Anna was in at the time.
Perhaps by reading these poems you'll know you are not alone
Fiction
An Anthology of Short Stories
from Indonesia and Beyond
This short story collection was written by David Powell Davies who lived in Indonesia for 15 years. David was born in Hong Kong and grew up in Wales and Africa (Nigeria and Uganda). He graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in 1972 and then worked as an actor for 28 years.
​
‘The frantic whirring of trapped wings caught the attention of William Grothe. He had been idly dreaming about his native Holland, wishing he was back there and bemoaning the fact that he was stuck in this god-forsaken place in western Java. He looked up at the dragonfly as it vainly tried to exit the building by flying through the wall.
A novel about time and time travel
This is a novel about time.It is also about families at different times of their existence. In their pasts, in their futures, in their now and in their parallel lives. These families are from different continents, different cultures but through marriage and travel and the network of the Go’ib stones, they connect with each other.
What are the Go’ib stones? They are ordinary stones that one might find on a path walking in the country, on a river bed or nestling in a potpourri of crystals and gems on a market stall. Some of them might have a curious shape that has been carved by water or wind. Some might be carved with intent.
The novel opens at the beginning of the 21st century, where we meet an Indonesian connection. Soon the time shifts to the early 20th century. We see the beginning of this family and their connection with the energy source that will change their lives.
Time is impermanent, it shifts and changes with the creation of a thought. We live our lives in a linear framework of time where one second leads to the next, where one day grinds into the next and a year adds its death knell to the preceding one because we find it convenient for our existence.
But what if...?
