Sara had everything a teenager could ever dream of. The clothes, loving parents and endless parties. But it was falling for Mike, a drug crazed thug who had done time, that made Sara happy. However, Sara became a disgrace when she fell pregnant at the age of fifteen. Her parents canned her sixteenth birthday party, which prompted her to pack her bags and move in with Mike.

I am a South African novelist, short story writer, biographer, historical and investigative writer. I grew up in Johannesburg and later Limpopo, where I finished my high school. I studied Chemistry, Business Administration as well as Labour Relations at the University of South Africa, and worked as a lab chemist for 16 years. My first literary work was a collection of short stories which appeared in 1986. Since then I have written over 10 books that are available both in paperback and ebook format. I had success with two award winning stories, "The Good Samaritan" and "The Journey," that scooped prizes in 2004 and 2005 respectively. Of course writing is not my only occupation. As a qualified chemist, I manage a company which supplies chemicals and laboratory equipment to various sectors.
