I am so excited about the projects I'm working on at the moment - working on two books at the same time - One is a fantasy story by a well known South African writer - in Afrikaans...
Soek-soek op soek, for Tafelberg publishers
The second is
Alice in Wonderland!!! - a translation into Afrikaans by the awards winning author Andre P Brink...
