Hierdie skrywer weet hoe om ʼn storie te vertel en hoe om die leser in te katrol. Haar kinderjare in Pretoria-Wes word lewendig en humoristies verhaal.

Haar pa het lewenslank boekminderwaardig gevoel omdat hy nie kon gaan studeer nie. Sy pa het sy grond verloor en hy moes vroeg die skool verlaat om te gaan werk. Hy onderskei hom in die spoorweë, maar die drankduiwel ry hom (en die gesin). Geen kind van hom hoef te gaan leer nie, glo hy.

Die verteller self spring duidelik en onweerstaanbaar uit die bladsy regop – iemand wat, in haar eie woorde al soos ʼn haas verskrik is deur haar pa maar wat haar eenvoudig nie laat onderkry nie. Sy sou gaan leer, buig of bars. En sy het nie opgehou voordat sy ʼn doktorsgraad verwerf het nie.

This is Britain rewritten in predictive text. One man and his mobile phone gremlin take on the people, institutions and events that have shaped this country, autocorrecting as they go and uncovering some shocking home truths. So let's honour our majestic Queer Vicar, the Right Honourable Primary Monster, the National Death Device, and give thanks for that Bikini Inversion*; this is an extensive love letter (or rather text message) to this land we call home. * Queen Victoria, Prime Minister, National Health Service, Viking Invasion

A comedy about football, fortune, and a fanatical fanWhen Rob Cooper, editor of the anarchic soccer fanzine Wings of a Sparrow, receives the latest in a long line of solicitors letters, he suspects yet another law suit has landed in his lap. Instead, he finds himself slap bang in the middle of a situation the likes of which fans the world over have dreamed about since the birth of the game. He gets the chance to be chairman of his rival football team, giving Rob the chance to do to City what he, as a United supporter, has always dreamt of doing. But when your dreams become a reality, they very quickly take on a very different meaning. Sometimes they can even turn into nightmares. Not simply a tale of revenge and bitterness, this is a light-hearted story of one man, the great game, a small fortune, and a season of personal discovery.
