ABOUT THESE FARM CATS by Charmaine Ann Gaynor
Set in the 1950s, farmer Josh adopts two kittens left motherless. This is unheard of on his farm, as the folk there know that the boss prefers dogs. He appoints his housemaid to care for the kittens and become their mommy. She reacts badly because she is only fifteen and is scared of the little bundles of fur. But she overcomes her fear and takes good care of them, despite the fact that they can be very naughty.
Life on Josh’s farm is interesting, as something new happens every day. The kittens grow into young cats, exploring the farm and getting to meet new animals. They also finally make friends with their “poor relations,” the barn cats.
Farmer Josh is a wise man and has many stories to tell his grandchildren who come to visit him from the city. The children learn about farm life, and when they leave with their mother, they have a greater understanding of the differences between life on the farm and life in the city.
In the end, Josh comes to believe that he is finally ready to meet a new woman,one who can be his friend and perhaps ….. his new wife.
This is the second book by Charmaine Ann Gaynor of Johannesburg, South Africa. She was inspired by her grandfather’s farm and her great love for her family and animals, specifically cats. “A large part of my childhood is in this story.

Hy het aan die Hoër Landbouskool Kuschke matriek geskryf en hom aan die Universiteit Pretoria bekwaam as landbouwetenskaplike. Sy vrou, Annelize, destyds ŉ nooi Swanepoel, het hy op die dansvloer by ŉ Mopanie Manskoshuis bokjol ontmoet. Van die trouery het twee kinders gekom, heelwat later het daar ŉ skoonseun en -dogter bygekom, asook vier kleinkinders. Augustus 1980 ŉ lappie aarde Noord-Oos van Pretoria gekoop.

“SWERWER” belee ŉ prominente posisie in die Suid-Afrikaanse samelewing en verkies dus dat die publikasie onder die skuilnaam “Swerwer” uitgegee word.
Die skrywer het vir baie jare, as gevolg van sy werk, ŉ swerwersbestaan gevoer en in die alledaagse handel en wandel met baie mense in aanraking gekom. Daar het baie situasies en voorvalle oor sy pad gekom wat hy graag met lesers wil deel en wel by wyse van hierdie kortverhale. Baie van die verhale kom uit eie ondervinding waarin ‘n gesonde verstand en ŉ vrugbare verbeelding ook ŉ baie groot rol speel.
Waar verhale ware situasies en gebeure beskryf, is die name van persone en plekke dan ook uiteraard fiktief en op geen wyse het enige naam wat gebruik word hoegenaamd enige verwysing na, of toepasssing op enige ander persoon of plek wat toevallig dieselfde naam mag dra nie, aangesien dit bloot toevallige gebruik van ŉ bestaande naam sal wees.
Die hoofkarakter is ŉ persoon met die naam “STOFFEL” en die verhale word soms in eerste persoon en soms in derde persoon vertel, om geen ander rede as om bietjie afwisseling te verskaf nie. Die skrywer poog om verhale beskrywend, tog nie vulgêr of aanstootlik aan sy lesers oor te dra nie. Elke verhaal bevat dan ook ŉ agtergrond storie, sodat die leser hom- of haarself in die toneel kan plaas en dan saamleef in die verhaal. Dit is nie net ŉ klakkelose beskrywing van die “daad” nie.
“SWERWER” deel in hierdie publikasie ŉ aantal kortverhale waarmee hy graag ŉ groot aantal lesers wil bereik wat aanklank gevind het by gewilde erotiese publikasies soos “BLOOTS”, “SKARLAKEN KOORS” en “FIFTY SHADES OF GREY”. As gevolg van die groot belangstelling en navrae wat die skrywer op sosiale forums soos Facebook, Twitter en ander gevolg het, blyk dit asof daar wel tog ŉ plek vir hierdie tipe “stout” verhale bestaan, wat die leser aan die dink sit en party mense se saai lewens ŉ hupstoot in die regte rigting kan gee!
Die skrywer het jare gelede vir die eerste keer met hygromanse en/of erotiese verhale te doen gekry, toe hy sy oë op tydskrifte soos ‘PLAYBOY’, ‘PENTHOUSE’ of selfs ‘LOSLYF’ kon slaan. Tog was dit nie die naakte fotos wat sy andag getrek het nie, maar wel die erotiese verhale wat daarin verskyn het. Deur die jare het die skrywer self sy hand aan ŉ paar verhale gewaag, maar nooit daaraan gedink om dit te publiseer nie.
SPIRALLING deur Daleen Coetzee
These whispers, feelings, longings, hopes, love given to you in the following was/is a long process of growth. Becoming aware of the amazing creations that are on this planet with us is a precious journey. Nature, according to humans, has come into its own, with science confirming what man has long ago sensed. These are condensed thoughts, facts, of a personal view on nature, especially trees. The drawings are in pencil and are trees that called and asked to be drawn, because they had a message for man.
Magdalena Janson was born in Northern Rhodesia, now Zambia, and grew up among the mammoth trees and nature of the equator. Lives in Pretoria now, doing things that there was no time for earlier. She wrote this book under the soul name of Sunrada and thanks all and everyone whose books or papers she perused and apologizes sincerely if maybe she used their thoughts.
SPATSELS UIT MY LEWE deur Paula Paxton
Elke tree in my lewe, het eers begin met die wete dat ek alleen die pad moes baan, maar met verloop van tyd besef ek dat elke hartseer en blydskap op my lewenspad gedeel is met my Skepper en Heer. Hy het my opgetel en groot wysheid geleer. So is elke gedig in hierdie bundel, n spatsel uit my lewe. My hart en my siel is verweef in elke woord.
Paula Paxton (nee Mitchell) gebore 18 Maart 1974 in Krugersdorp in die Wes Rand. Ek word groot in Rand­fontein, ‘n myndorpie net duskant Krugersdorp. In my volwasse lewe verhuis ek na die mooie Natal met my eerste man, maar na n hartseer egskeiding vestig ek weer my wortels in Randfontein. Ek het twee pragtige, uitdagende kinders, Herman en Marli Fourie wat my lewe versier. Tans weer getroud met Karel Nico­laas Paxton en my lewe is een fees. Van tienerdae af verdraai ek my hartseer en vreugde in gedigte. Ek put genot daaruit om die lirieke van my hart op papier neer te pen.

IN DIE AANSLAG OP DIE KLEUR VAN ONS VELLE VAL ONS BLOED OP DIE GROND deur Frans Calitz
Bones tree vorentoe en in vlot Afrikaans: “As jy skree, gooi ons jou fokken tong vir die honde,draai jou gat, the liberation has begun .”Tjaka voel die pankop se hande oor sy rug, die klam sweterige warm vleis teen sy agterstewe en wag vir die pyn waarvan die gevangenes in Pollsmoor hom vertel het, Hy wil skree, maar blaas soos een van die geelslange tussen die riete van die Doringrivier. “Now be a good boy,” hoor Tjaka die pankop se stem en voel die warm pis teen sy bene af .
Die pankop se asem is hortend in Tjaka se ore, die vingergrepe krampagtig om sy skouerknoppe. Tjaka beur orent, maar Bones hou en daar is niks wat hy kan doen nie.
Vir ‘n oomblik wonder hy of hy dalk droom, maar die pyn in sy lyf en die gille uit die pankop se keel laat nie ruimte vir illusies nie .
Gedurende die nag reen dit swaar, druppels ploffend op die dak, elke geluid dof en doods inTjakaseore .Hy trek sy knieë teen sy lyf op en die kombers oor sy kop .Uitgelewer aan die genade van ‘n primitiewe kontinent hy daar, soos ‘n fetus sonder baarmoeder, die naderende dood onafwendbaar. Sluiers van donkerheid dans voor sy oë. Sy lyf pyn en hy voel die bloed aan sy onderlyf. Iewers baie naby klink gille op, pynlike krete van ‘n vrou in nood . Die vrou gil weer. ‘n Paar mans skaterlag .Tjaka dink aan Lucy en voel sy maag saamtrek. Sy gesigspiere span onwillekeurig en die spiere in sy rug spring asof dit losruk waar dit aan sy ruggraat vas is. Pynlik intens ervaar hy sy dilemma en weet nie hoe om dit te hanteer nie. Soos ‘n kleuter wat ‘n ouer verloor en nie die rasionaal verstaan nie. Sy gedagtes loop vêr. Die verlede se lief en leed draai in sy kop, geluide en gesigte van weleer; die Maskam se loodregte kranse, ‘n hand vol gruis uit die Hantam, die soet hitte van die Doringrivier, die roep van die kokkewiet, oompie Drippie drink en naai sy vrou vir almal om te hoor.

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF LITTLE P by Andre Jacobs
Peggy Barnes was born under the sodden clouds and coal-smog of the English Black Country, during the depression.  Her penniless family immigrated to Cape Town, when she was nine.
She blossomed into a beauty, rambling in the sun-drenched and heather-scented Cape Mountains.  She married a war hero, and learned to love his rustic Afrikaans family.  For half a century she was in the turmoil of parliamentary opposition to the apartheid government, but she always preferred pets to politicians.
Her dogs were of uninhibited and intractable character; dramas in their own right, but at the heart of her emotions.  Her last was the murderous Molly, her shadow during her last years, who after her death, never ceased to seek her in very toilet.
She taught herself to read at four (Mom, not Molly) and remained well-informed and outspoken until the end.  As a White liberal, she represented a species of humanity which is now extinct in South
Africa, so her inimitable personality encapsulated a unique era.

Die Baas van Tweespruit
Dewald Schute moes van jongs af veg teen sy omstandighede.  Eers as weeskind in `n weeshuis en daarna in die weermag en later as huursoldaat in Afrika.  Sy opstandige geaardheid het hom telkemale in die moeilikheid laat beland met dikwels nadelige gevolge vir homself en ander na aan hom.
Na `n skermutseling met terroriste waartydens hy erg gewond word, keer hy na sy geboorteland terug en koop met sy boesemvriend se hulp, `n verwaarloosde plasie.  Hier speel die een krisis na die ander hom af.  Eers sy konfrontasie met die aanvallige Melanie Meiring, wat wingerdstokkies aan hom probeer verkoop.  Dan ontdek hy `n erg vernielde, byne dood, kleurlingseun in `n koma in die vorige bywonershuisie.  Hy vergryp hom kort-kort aan drank as gevolg van die pyn in sy been en is onbeskof teenoor sy vriende en Melanie, vir wie hy eintlik soos die pes vermy as gevolg van `n vorige liefdesteleurstelling, wat juis veroorsaak het dat hy Afrika binne gevlug het en nou `n renons het in al wat vroumens is.
Sy dokter raai hom aan om dringend `n operasie te ondergaan om sy been te red.  Hy stel dit egter telkens uit en Melanie kan nie begryp hoekom hy so hardkoppig is nie.  Dan draai `n byne noodlottige ongeluk Dewald se hele lewe om, waartydens hy besef dat hy, noudat hy sy ware gevoelens ontdek het, dalk nooit Melanie se hart sal wen nie.

Skrywer:  Theodoor George Kieser
Their land was invaded by foreigners from far-away places. With them they brought death and destruction. Their peace was disrupted and in their quest for gold and new land, they started to murder the inhabitants that used to roam free. After long battles and miserable slavery forced upon them, the inhabitants of the land, of which the Ongo tribe were part of, decided that enough was enough, they have to take a stand, or die. The leaders of the different tribes came together, and long meetings with the leaders of the foreigners ensued, but the outcome was not satisfactory, therefor the decision was made to leave their old hunting grounds.
Hawk and Sunshine, Patriarch and Matriarch of the Ongo tribe decided to move away with their tribe from their territorial land to seek a better living place, away from the strange people with their strange and cruel ways. After months of suffering on their long journey, and the loss of many beloved ones, who earmarked their road of suffering with the pyre’s of death, they found what they were looking for; peace and freedom.
Then the god of love looked down upon them and a baby girl was born-Snowbird. But although they found joy and peace in their new land, and joy with the birth of their one and only daughter, grief and sorrow were not far off, and the road to overcome that grief and sorrow was full of rocks, mud, and sometimes obstructions that seemed impossible to overcome. But with determination, and the will to survive, they took a stand against everything that spelled evil. And when their beloved granddaughter became the victim of a half-breed, all hell broke loose.
