Common Blood
COMMON BLOOD sets the experiences of an extended family of post-Colonial English and German immigrants against the backdrop of more than eighty years of Charleston's tumultuous nineteenth-century history. For the reader who appreciates that history does indeed repeat itself, and who finds social, cultural, and political history fascinating in its ability to provide a vision of both the past and the future, the family stories narrated here are eminently illustrative of the intersection of individual lives with the historical context of their times. The cultural heritage delineated in COMMON BLOOD interweaves European and American strands of [primarily] nineteenth-century history through an ex...
A Sailor's Honour
Pierre de Villiers has walked a hard road. Tortured by his own army, his family killed, surviving cancer; his new life in New Zealand is supposed to bring him peace. But just when his life seems to be on an even keel, his daughter is kidnapped in Auckland and his brother-in-law's wife abducted in Durban. What possible common enemy might the brothers-in-law have? The clues to the riddle stretch from Nazi u-boats of Africa's coast to a sinister Third Force pulling the strings of darkest South African history. Determined to defend his family.

And on a bigger stage, the major's Force is not done yet; its final statement will be its most violent.
Emblems and Impact Volume I
The art of the emblem is a pan-European phenomenon which developed in Western and Central Europe in the early modern period. It adopted meanings and motifs from Antiquity and the Middle Ages as part of a general humanistic impulse. Technological developments in printing that permitted the combination of letterpress with woodblock, and later copperplate, images, ensured that the emblem spread rapidly by way of printed collections. With time, emblematic ideas moved beyond Europe, conveying their insights and wisdom in the compact form of the book.

The Soldier who Said No
New Zealand was supposed to be where Pierre de Villiers would escape his past. A misadventure in Angola had cost him his faith in the military, and almost his life and sanity. Another event cost him his family. But no. After a bizarre attempt on the NZ Prime Minister’s life De Villiers recognises the arrow used: it is of Bushman origin. And suddenly he, now a policeman in Auckland, is a suspect. He must go back to South Africa for answers, and to face his demons. Can he unscramble his memory? Will he find the men who devastated his life? And will the illness mounting in his groin be cured? The Soldier Who Said No is about a man cast adrift in a sea of impossible choices. It is a gripping thriller set in a complex world of racism in unexpected places, and old injustices festering on both sides of a vast ocean.

AIRLIFT
Konrad is a handsome man. He believes that he is “God’s gift to women.” He loves them, but not in the way that nature intended. He is a damaged man, he has suffered rejection in the past and this has made him cruel and bitter. Now spite and punishment have formed part of his psyche, and this has moulded his attitude towards sexual relations with the opposite sex. Luckily for him he has often met new women on his travels, and he had become very adept at hiding his true intentions behind a façade of charm. Konrad enjoys sex and the rougher the better. He has found that some women are turned on by hard physical treatment and extreme pain. Even then he would find their threshold and he would often exceed it. He would leave them devastated. It really was too bad when that happened. But he got over it. Konrad leaves a trail of destruction which will culminate in murder. But in the end it will also result in a confrontation with a woman who is more than his equal.
