A short story about my home town, Rustenburg

When I was a little girl growing up in Rustenburg, I was the only girl living on our street. There were boys aplenty, though, and I soon understood that if I simply watched them play cricket and rugby and cowboys & crooks and cars, I was going to miss out on some of the best years of my childhood. So I was known as a bit of a tomboy. A girl among boys. Playing with their toys. Playing with Hot Wheels cars in the dirt or racing against them on ancient consoles while eating peanut-butter sandwiches. Those are the childhood memories that stick with me most: the way we looked at those cars and imagined the real thing, the speed at which a toy car could be launched into the air on a homemade ramp with a little bit of help from a rubber band, the cities we built with cereal boxes and plastic crates. I grew up loving those cars and what they represent, and at least in that way, my new short story, Hot Wheels, is an homage to my earliest associations with Rustenburg. The N4 highway came much later, and later still the ghosts of memories of those lost too early.

Hot Wheels is centered around a toy Hot Wheels car and the way such a small thing can sometimes touch a life or shape a future. It’s a story of loss, of grief and guilt, but more importantly, it’s a story about motherhood and it is now available on all major digital platforms for free for a limited time. Not too limited though, so share the news. There’ll be plenty of time for your friend, lover, brother, mother, grandmother, colleague and neighbour to download their copy.

We’ve all known that kid in school. Every school has one. An angel. A kid who is perfect, loved by the teachers, adored by the students. But if every school has an angel, there is usually a demon hiding in its shadows. At St. Joseph’s Academy for Boys it is no different. And the angel brings out the worst in the demon.

‘Out Of This World: A Short Story’ free from Amazon Kindle

Anyone who has ever planned a wedding knows that doing it right is a little bit like becoming a grandmaster in chess: you have to know everything that can possibly occur and be prepared to overcome it. If you’re the bride, chances are that you’ve had your dream wedding mapped out in your mind for the better part of a decade by the time you finally get your big day. Which is why nothing can go wrong. But sometimes all the careful planning in the world can not prevent things from going off kilter. This happens to Jane in my new short story ‘Out Of This World’, which is free from Amazon Kindle for a limited time only. See the link below to get your copy. Your honest feedback, on Amazon, Goodreads or otherwise, would be greatly appreciated!
