About this ebook
An Intriguing Collection of Fictional Short Stories
“Tales with twists” is the lava from the volcano of rage that has erupted over the corruption and abuse of power in all areas of South African society. Refreshingly, the author is not shy to deal with the harsher realities of life. She makes extensive use of interior and dramatic monologue to express the feelings that surge through these surprising and shocking stories which will leave you wide-eyed.
Read about how Sue challenges the “No Balls, No Brains” misogynist and observe the callous treatment of the “white trash” begging at the traffic lights. Meet Ma Moses—the grass that binds the community, and her loyal friend Sipho as they spend their days caring for the AIDS orphans, while the politicians playact for the media. Be shocked by the turn of events that leads to Zuleka’s pain as her life spins out of control, and discover her trusted confidante, Almeera’s, part in it.
This book will give you a glimpse into the thoughts of a white youngster doing his compulsory military training, and warm your heart with the one important choice he has to make.
It will turn you upside down and unsettle your equilibrium. It will shock you!

Dr Richard Steele, Homeopath and Educator has this to say about TALES WITH TWISTS: Look carefully at the cover art. Eyes closed eyes closed eyes closed eyes wide open. How do the eyes go from closed to open? By facing and naming the fear, the oppression, the oppressor. As I see it, the twist is about taking power back from outside to inside. Not always resulting in liberation from the physical shackles, as evidenced in the It’s All in Your Mind, My Son. Not always resulting in a change in the circumstances, as evidenced in The Opening of the Shutters. But always resulting in the opening of eyes, the rise in consciousness, the transformation of victim into activist. “The meeting was over, Siya was closing up – ‘Anyone got anything to discuss, any problems?’ I stood up boldly, squarely faced him. ‘Yes, I have.’ My jaw was set , my shutters wide open, light shining in. ‘I am tendering my resignation with immediate effect. I will no longer be part of this circus.’ (The Opening of the Shutters.) And sometimes resulting in liberation all round, as evidenced in The R100 Note. I encourage you to read these tales and be twisted, be transformed.
