Flyleaf
Violet Birkin is a teacher, and since she's paid to teach by the hour, she imagines she'll have to teach forever. But her life is changing: she's shedding her hair and her husband, the flamboyant actor Frank Eastwood Lea.
Bare and Breaking

The Fetch
"The coastal settlement of Slangkop, near Cape Town, comes alive over weekends when mercurial Chas Fawkes holds court at Midden House. Shy, plump librarian Nina Browne is smitten even before she is invited to one of his legendary parties ... But things are not quite as they seem on the glittering surface, as Nina is about to discover. ... Finuala Dowling skilfully conjures the inhabitants of an eccentric seaside community ..."--Back cover.
These are the Lies I Told You
Kerry Hammerton is a poet, writer and alternative health practitioner. She is a graduate of The University of the Witwatersrand (Johannesburg) and The College of Integrated Chinese Medicine (Reading, UK). Her poetry has been published in South African literary journals such as Carapace, New Contrast and New Coin, online at Litnet and Incwadi. She has also been a contributor to The Empty Tin Readings (May 2010) and The Poetry Project. These are the lies I told you is her first poetry collection. Kerry has fewer wrinkles than she should have at her age - or so her friends tell her.
The Last to Leave
The Last to Leave is Margaret Cloughs second collection of poetry. These poems follow on from her first extremely popular collection, At Least the Duck Survived (2011) in that the light, warm-hearted tone continues as does Cloughs engagement with aging and mortality. These poems are a tonic and leave the reader feeling refreshed, saddened and better off. Clough has participated in The Franschoek Literary Festival, and has been invited to a number of reading engagements in the Western Cape, including the McGregor Poetry Festival. Her books sell out every time she reads.
