“In this book, two contrasting worlds are portrayed by one character - the young hero, Sisonke - who must straddle them in an attempt to secure his own identity"

It’s amazing that a story set within such a historical time as Apartheid can still resonate so much today. #mustread

"Publishing “The Function of Apartheid” took just over 3 months from start to finish, inc. the printing & e-book conversion. Some jobs are quicker, some take longer. Kesh was quick to get back to us after each set of proofs, which helped enormously.” Vanessa Wilson, publisher

Many new authors find the thought of marketing and promoting their own book daunting – after all, you are a writer not a marketer!

There’s no doubt it’s a steep learning curve, but all writers must do their bit to promote their product. What do you find most daunting?
