Gillian Leggat, author of the great 'The Golden Highway' will be participating in the Franschhoek Literary Festival by attending Bridge House School. Keep an eye out here to find where she will be as meeting this author is a genuine pleasure and her book is one you will hate to put down. Encouraging a culture of reading in the Franschhoek valley and raising funds for a new community library and local school libraries were important reasons for establishing the Franschhoek Literary Festival in 2007.

Julia is searching for her parents who disappeared here and are presumed dead - but she won't give up hope. As Tanya, Thabo and Kyle follow a misguided path to imprisonment and debauchery, Julia and Sean must stay one step ahead of the wicked Livedia and her henchmen to evade the clutches of evil, to find her parents and escape this world of deceit. With a little help from new friends Moses, Zechariah and Balaam, will they complete their quest or fall prey to Livedia's tricks? Julia is about to find out, but first she has to have faith...

David McCaddon Is Speaking to the Marchington WI

Settle in ladies of the Marchington WI for a fantastic event as you'll get to hear the author and award winning playwright David McCaddon as he talks about his expertise in IT in Law Enforcement, and of course his brilliant book 'Following Digital Footprints'. This enthralling novel will have you pouring over it from its first page to its last. Following digital footprints is a detective story with a difference. Different sections of a police force are investigating cases of hire car theft, credit card fraud and identity theft using traditional methods supported by ever more sophisticated IT systems. The criminals, meanwhile, become increasingly greedy but appear to be committing their crimes under the radar. The suspense builds, as the police build their case methodically and with the occasional element of luck. There are several twists and turns as the plot races towards a conclusion, and the reader can only wait and see whether the police or the criminals will succeed. David McCaddon has written an enthralling whodunnit by drawing on his many years of experience in law enforcement systems development working with police forces worldwide. The technical details are described with a light touch and this adds to the enjoyment of the novel. A satisfying read.

Find out what all the buzz is about this story and indulge yourself in the story taht will hvae children and parents alike loving each and every page. Eleven-year-old Daniel Jeremiah Chambers has parents Philip and Susan who love work and shopping and who just don't listen. Daniel is an only child ... no, he's lying ... he has a sister, Alice, who has a dolly fixation; Dan is sure she is an alien. So, Dan has a few problems, none insurmountable, until his friend, Benji, introduces him to the find of the century - a derelict bee hive which could become a den. Of course, such a simple thing is never so simple and when Dan finds a map well, all kinds of things just go horribly wrong. For example - Alice noses her nosey way in and two strange men suddenly turn up wanting what's theirs - and then there's the bank, too. The Beehive by Simon Adepetun is a tight little sharp-witted bumble through a short period in Dan's young life. ‘What's a bumble?' - ‘Shut up, Alice!'
