Red Press,South Africa Sean, Eddie, and Me
Set in a small South African mining town, against an Eighties backdrop of political and border conflict, Nick Theron fifteen, going on sixteen, is enjoying the freedom of a typical white childhood. Until new boy Michael Dempsey arrives in town. Worldly, charming ... and sociopathic ... Michael sets his sights on the naive Nick and his friends, luring them into a game of emotional cat and mouse. Three decades later Nick returns to the town of his childhood, carrying with him a sense of heavy foreboding, finally ready to face the past. A keenly-observed and entertaining novel about the relationships among a group of small-town youths from a dark era in South Africa's past, Sean, Eddie and Me is both a historical rendering - albeit with a satirical touch - as it is a psychological and social study. As such, a must-read for any South African who has lived through this period.

Red Press,South Africa Road Kill
Steve and Tarryn Aldridge’s roadtrip to Kruger Park isn’t going to plan. They have a small problem: a dead body to dispose of. Easier said than done. Waiting up ahead … an unhinged cop seeking redemption, a gold-toothed life insurance salesman, a cluster of ex-security operatives, and a dog called Adolf. They’re all on a mission, they all have an agenda, and they’re all about to T-bone at a rural backwater. A crime caper inhabited by a cast of social misfits, Roadkill is Herman Charles Bosman on steroids. Set in a dusty dorp where SA’s dodgy past has taken up residence in post-Apartheid small town suburbia, where the innocent have become guilty by association, the result is a fender-bender of one-part character study, one-part crime story, one-part belly-ache satirical comedy.
