A love letter to libraries and a confession

Dear Cape Town Library, about that thing that happened 30 years ago… I’m participating in my first (mini) book fair this weekend and it’s being held at the Tokai Library. So I feel like this is the perfect time for a confession. Right. Here goes… For years I’ve been too scared to apply for a…

AW6: Recovering a Sense of Abundance

Whatever would Grandmother say about all this frivolous nonsense? Frivolous. The word really struck a chord in this week’s unpacking of Cameron’s Artist’s Way in Week 6, Recovering a Sense of Abundance.  Growing up, frivolity was not allowed. It was “being silly” and silliness was for silly people and we were not silly people. If cleanliness…

AW5: Recovering a Sense of Possibility

Creating a new world right in the middle of your life Good heavens did I struggle to get into this chapter. Week 5 – Recovering a Sense of Possibility is all about … well, tapping into possibility.

Far from the maddening crowds

The Fulcrum is for readers who like some magic with their real life, some supernatural with their Sci-Fi, some retelling with some myth mixing. It’s for readers who like character-driven, plot-based fiction where genres are bent and blended, and protagonists are caught in a story not of their choosing. Read more…

In Chicago, part-time bookkeeper and burlesque dancer Camille discovers she’s pregnant with a child she doesn’t want. In Baltimore, brilliant virologist Jacob is being courted by a rich and deeply sinister patron. And in Verona, grumpy Father Antonio is beginning a great, secret journey. Again.

The history of humanity is a dance between life and death, creation and destruction. When the scales seem set towards annihilation, a balancer is born, bringing equilibrium and correcting the course.

The balancer is not born alone in the world. Since the beginning of humanity, each has been shepherded into the world by The Fulcrum. And now this ancient team – part human, part immortal – must look to the newest balancer: Camille’s unborn baby.

But this time, all is not as it seems. As the harsh Chicago winter sets in, the players in this aeons-old game will be forced to make choices they don’t want to fulfill their destinies in ways they never imagined possible…
